What does this meme mean?
Use the repeated waiting scenes to exaggerate a short delay. Empty space and unchanged expression make the pause feel much longer.
Where it comes from
The images feature Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar in Narcos. A three-panel waiting template appeared on Meme Generator in October 2016 after the show's second season.
