About
Old Man Yells At Cloud is an exploitable image of a gag headline featured in a 2002 episode of The Simpsons. On the Internet, the newspaper clip of Abe Simpson angrily raising his fist under the literal headline “Old Man Yells at Cloud” has been repurposed into a series of reaction images for commentaries on various topics based on the phrasal template (X) Yells at (Y).
Origin
The newspaper headline was featured as a sight gag in a scene from “The Old Man and the Key,” the Episode 13, Season 13 of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons originally aired on March 10th, 2002. In the episode, Abe, the father of the protagonist character Homer Simpson, pays a visit to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to get his driver’s license issued and convinces his co-in-law Patty Bouvier to use the photograph of him from the aforementioned newspaper clip instead of taking a new photograph on the spot. Upon obtaining his newly issued driver’s license, Abe walks over to a window and yells “who’s laughing now?” at a cloud while holding the card in his hand.
