The dismissal of FBI Director James Comey by President Donald Trump in May 2017 became an instant flashpoint for internet culture and political commentary. The event was immortalized through memes featuring the formal dismissal letter, news broadcasts, and Comey’s various expressions during subsequent testimonies. While it began as a serious political event, the template evolved into a versatile tool for depicting sudden, high-profile terminations or the act of being let go from any situation. It is frequently used to mock power struggles, bureaucratic chaos, or the dramatic irony of someone finding out they are fired through the media rather than a direct conversation.
