Which episode is the "double facepalm" image macro from?

Question

There's a Demotivational-style image macro that features Picard and Riker facepalming at the same time:

Double facepalm of Picard and Riker

I believe the person in the left of the picture may not be Picard in the original scene: the picture of Picard that you see here was probably photoshopped from another scene. But what is the source of the original screen capture?

I love that picture. Every time I see it, it makes me laugh. — Daniel Bingham, Feb 21 '11 at 07:41

HorusKol is correct. Here is the original (or near enough to it):

Original image from A Matter of Perspective S3E14

You're right that the Picard in this screenshot is shopped in - you can see the original Riker-only facepalm on Google images search.

However, none of those image results indicate where this screen-grab came from.

But - I think that this is from Season 3's "A Matter of Perspective" - where Riker is accused of murdering a scientist.

That seems very plausible, thanks! – Timwi Feb 21 '11 at 20:29

There's an actual double facepalm in Voyager where Q calls himself as a witness and both of him facepalm in response to some statement by Tuvok. Funny that they didn't use that one for the meme. – k_g Jan 24 '15 at 06:11

@k_g Probably just because TNG is much more iconic. – Brett Widmeier Sep 22 '16 at 20:39

Yes, the original Picture is from "A Matter of Perspective", while Picard is shopped in from "Deja Q".
