Gru's Plan draws on a presentation scene from Despicable Me, where an unexpected image disrupts Gru's explanation. The meme turns that interruption into a moment when a confident strategy reveals its own flaw. Early panels establish the goal and method; the final repeated step lets the presenter finally register the problem. It is useful for plans that accidentally undermine themselves, especially when an apparently clever shortcut creates exactly the difficulty it was meant to avoid.
