# We Don't Do That Here We Don't Do That Here is a reaction image pulled from a 2018 scene in Avengers: Infinity War where Black Panther corrects Bruce Banner for bowing in Wakanda. The screencap of Chadwick Boseman's deadpan response became a go-to punchline on Tumblr, Twitter and Reddit for calling out social missteps both minor and absurd. ## Origin Avengers: Infinity War opened in United States theaters on April 27th, 2018[4]. In the scene, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) arrives in Wakanda with James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) and starts to bow to T'Challa; Black Panther stops him with a dry "We don't do that here"[6]. That same day, Tumblr user jlaws posted a set of GIFs of the exchange with the caption "Should we bow?" / "Yeah, he's a king," which pulled more than 4,200 notes over the following six weeks[1]. - **Platform:** Film (Avengers: Infinity War) / Tumblr (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2018 ## Overview We Don't Do That Here works as a flat, polite shutdown delivered via a screencap of Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa staring down an unseen offender[1]. The standard format pairs the still frame with a setup line describing some behavior the poster finds cringe, embarrassing, or socially unacceptable, with Black Panther's line working as the punchline response[4]. The tone sits between gentle correction and absolute rejection, which is why it travels so easily across topics. Early versions targeted things like writing-process questions directed at prepared authors[2], while later edits swung into darker, more offensive territory on Reddit's /r/dankmemes[5]. The joke lands because the character's delivery is calm and non-negotiable rather than angry. ## How to Use A typical post pairs the T'Challa screencap or GIF with a lead-in describing a social misstep, awkward confession, or absurd scenario. The common convention is to keep the setup specific and the image unaltered so the deadpan read does the work. Edits often swap in a different reactor's face for a mock version of the format. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is We Don't Do That Here?
