The *"Pathetic"* meme comes from the 2013 anime *Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans*. In a notable scene, the character McGillis Fareed looks down with a smug expression and says *"Pathetic."* This moment became a meme due to its perfectly dismissive and condescending tone. It first gained traction in anime and gaming communities before spreading more broadly online. The meme is often used as a reaction image to mock failures, poor decisions, or embarrassing moments. Over time, variations emerged, sometimes replacing McGillis with other characters or adding exaggerated effects, solidifying *"Pathetic"* as a classic internet insult meme.
