It works as a reaction meme for awkward, cursed, confusing, or unexpectedly suggestive moments.

Shush! Who are you? Uh... What are you? You look like the neighbor. Shhh! Don't think about it too much. Just pretend this is a dream. A nice wedding. Ow! Ow! Ow! Careful not to hurt yourself to death there, Uncle. I was thinking...
