      As I can find the other similar template with Page aired in 2020, and was memed instantly:

      https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/vanya-and-five-drive-by-each-other

      The oldest meme using this template I can find is from 2021, even though the episode aired in 2005. So as a meme this is the newer.

        I lived through the ancient times, I was there, the MITM one came well before.

        I seem to recall a gif version too, with Malcolm and his mom reacting in split screen

          Checked it with multiple reverse image search engines, and I can’t find it anywhere before 2021. It was posted that time related to the other drive-by meme, I guess someone saw the new meme, and remembered Malcolm had a very similar scene 15 year earlier, searched the episode and made the screenshot.

          2005 was before these kind of labeled reaction memes even existed. Know Your Meme has 3 Malcolm memes documented, all of them started to spread more than a decade after they aired:

          1. The Future Is Now, Old Man 2002 vs 2016
          2. Once You Start There’s No Going Back 2000 vs 2021
          3. Wow, I Can’t Find a Flaw In His Logic 2000 vs 2013

          So even if this scene was used as a gif before 2021, its usage as a meme should came after the Umbrella Academy version was known
