**I put hope in there… and THIS is what came out 💀**
Why does optimism always betray us 😭
Tag someone who keeps trusting the process 😂
This meme comes from **Family Guy**, specifically the episode **“The Man with Two Brians”** (Season 7, Episode 5, aired November 9, 2008).
In the scene, **Glenn Quagmire** is seen completely defeated, lying on a pile of trash bags in an alley while talking on his phone. His exhausted, broken expression perfectly captures that “I tried… and it backfired” energy.
### Scene Context
The episode centers around Peter replacing Brian with a “New Brian” after the original Brian gets injured during a chaotic parody of *Jackass*-style stunts. One of those ridiculous stunts involves Quagmire doing something wildly reckless, which leaves him physically and mentally wrecked.
The alley scene captures the aftermath — a visual representation of regret, poor decisions, and life choices catching up all at once 💀
### Meme Meaning
When people caption this frame with **“I put hope in there”**, it becomes even funnier.
It represents:
• Applying for a job with confidence
• Sending a risky text
• Investing time into something that flops
• Trusting someone who said “don’t worry”
You put optimism in… and life hands you trash bags and consequences 😭
That’s why this template is so popular — it visually screams “rock bottom,” but in a relatable, comedic way. It’s exaggerated enough to be funny, but real enough to hurt a little 😂
