Big Jack Horner became an instant internet sensation following his appearance as the primary antagonist in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022). Unlike many modern villains who are given sympathetic backstories, Jack Horner is celebrated by fans for being 'pure evil' and completely unapologetic about his horrific actions. The most popular meme formats involve his interactions with the Ethical Bug, particularly the 'Irredeemable Monster' scene where he gleefully acknowledges his own lack of a soul. This template is frequently used to mock corporate greed, celebrate chaotic energy, or point out blatantly problematic behavior that someone is no longer trying to hide.
