The Bazooka Squirrel meme is a staple of early internet culture, featuring a photo-manipulated image of a squirrel wielding a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Often categorized as a 'cursed image,' it gained significant traction on platforms like Reddit and 4chan during the late 2000s. The meme represents the ultimate 'underdog' trope, where a small and harmless animal is equipped with overwhelming firepower. It is commonly used as a reaction image to signify overkill, unexpected aggression, or a humorous warning to not underestimate someone based on their size.
