Refusing to Believe the Crocodile

I refuse to believe that it can kill me

A camera approaches a large crocodile crawling along a paved road while the caption insists, “I refuse to believe that it can kill me.” The joke is the obvious mismatch between the speaker’s denial and the dangerous animal moving directly toward them, made more amusing by the upbeat, carefree pop song “Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder playing over the scene. It works as a reaction meme for reckless overconfidence, denial, or ignoring an obvious threat.
