About

No, No, No! Don't Do That, also known as I Thought We Were Having a Nice Date! or simply No No No Obsession Meme, is a viral audio and exploitable reaction meme originating from the 2026 horror film Obsession. The meme features actress Inde Navarrette as the character Nikki delivering a rapid, escalating series of "No, no, no, no, no…" lines followed by "Don't do that! I thought we were having a nice date!" while maintaining an eerie, forced smile and unsettling micro-expressions.

The meme took off in late May 2026, primarily on TikTok and Instagram Reels, where green-screen templates and the original audio trended online in edits. The memes typically use the "No No No" scene of Nikki in the original clip and edit her into other scenarios, as well as using the dialogue as a catchphrase or audio snippet in jokes about someone having a negative, slightly crazy reaction to something.

Origin

The "No No No" Nikki scene comes from Obsession, a low-budget supernatural horror film directed by Curry Barker, released on May 15th, 2026.

In the movie, the protagonist Bear, played by actor Michael Johnston, uses a mystical wish-granting object to make his crush Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette, obsessively in love with him. During a seemingly perfect date, Bear tests the boundaries of the wish by bringing up sensitive information, triggering Nikki's unsettling breakdown.

On May 21st, 2026, TikTok^[1] user @universalpics posted the official clip from Obsession in which Nikki has a disturbing emotional breakdown during a date. The video received over 26 million views and 1.8 million likes in about two weeks.
