Title: Bruce the Shark (Finding Nemo): That’s Good

Context: This meme comes from Finding Nemo (2003), when Bruce the shark suddenly smells blood during a friendly meeting with Marlin and Dory. The scene starts off calm—Bruce is smiling and trying to be polite—but as soon as Dory’s nose bleeds, he sniffs the water and quietly says “That’s good…” His expression shifts from friendly to feral, and chaos breaks loose. People use this meme to represent moments when someone is trying to stay calm or behave, but a small trigger makes them lose control or give in to temptation. It’s funny because Bruce’s slow reaction and creepy tone are so dramatic—and relatable when you’re trying to resist something like junk food, gossip, or drama. The scene became popular for its perfect balance of suspense and humor, and it’s now widely used to exaggerate reactions to minor cravings or breakdowns.

How to use it: Use this template to show the moment someone tries to stay calm but instantly snaps after a small trigger—perfect for cravings, breakdowns, or losing control in a hilariously dramatic way

Examples:

• artists passing by the sketchbooks in any store
