Both Buttons Pressed
Origin
A scene from the 2013 animated show 'Teen Titans Go!' spawned this meme. The image comes from Season 4, Episode 7, called 'The Best Robin', and captures Robin facing a difficult choice between two options represented as buttons. Around 2017, people on Reddit and Instagram began sharing the image with their own captions, using it to joke about situations where two desirable choices conflict with each other. The meme spread rapidly because the image is straightforward and speaks to a universal experience—everyone knows what it feels like to want two incompatible things at once. The format works across many different scenarios since the buttons can represent anything. The visual setup, with its built-in tension between the two options, lends itself well to both witty commentary and ridiculous humor, which helped cement its popularity online.
