About

Green Goblin Smacks Spider-Man on the Head refers to a clip of the Marvel Comics villain Green Goblin smacking Spider-Man on the back of his head in the 2002 film Spider-Man. In January 2024, a GIF of the moment achieved popularity as source material for caption memes.

Origin

On May 3rd, 2002, the Marvel superhero film Spider-Man, starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker / Spider-Man and Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn / Green Goblin, premiered in the United States.[1] In one scene of the film, Green Goblin kidnaps Spider-Man and tries to convince him to join his side. During the scene, Green Goblin sits next to the disoriented Spider-Man, lightly smacking him on the back of the head as he walks up to him (scene shown below; smack at 2:20 mark).

Here's the real truth. There are eight million people in this city, and those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You, me – we're exceptional.
