About Running Officer Earl
The Running Officer Earl meme is a blurry reaction image of Officer Earl Devereaux running toward the camera. It is commonly used for situations where someone is literally or metaphorically chasing another person.
The image comes from the 2009 animated film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, in which Earl runs toward Flint Lockwood to apprehend him. The image began circulating as a reaction meme in April 2019.
