This green screen clip features a moment from the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas, where the live-action Grinch (played by Jim Carrey) is seen looking annoyed or disturbed. The clip most commonly shows him covering his ears or making a frantic gesture for silence while the audio cue “Shut up!” or a similar demand is played. The meme is used as a humorous and dramatic reaction to loud noise, irritating comments, or the overwhelming presence of Christmas cheer/general chatter.
