About

Moe Tossing Barney Out is an image macro featuring a series of frames from an episode of the American animated series The Simpsons. In the meme, the character Moe can be seen physically removing his friend and bar patron Barney from Moe's Tavern. Immediately, after throwing Barney out of frame, Barney can be seen sitting directly behind Moe. The meme generally expresses the feelings associated with a recurring problem.
