AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Pablo Escobar Waiting' meme, also known as 'Sad Pablo Escobar,' features three separate images of the character Pablo Escobar, portrayed by Wagner Moura in the Netflix show 'Narcos'. Each panel captures Escobar in distinct scenes where he appears visibly forlorn and disconnected: standing alone in a field, sitting at a kitchen table, and gazing into an empty swimming pool. This meme is commonly used to represent feelings of sadness or boredom while waiting for something.
