The "Pablo Escobar Waiting" meme originates from the Netflix series *Narcos*, which dramatizes the life of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. The meme uses scenes of Escobar, played by Wagner Moura, in reflective or solitary moments, such as sitting on a swing, standing on a balcony, or sitting at an empty table. These scenes became templates for expressing feelings of boredom, anticipation, or loneliness. First gaining traction around 2016, the meme resonated with internet users who found humor in Escobar’s somber demeanor applied to mundane scenarios. Its versatility and relatability cemented it as a staple of internet humor.
