The 'Ex Hitman Reacts To X' or 'That’s What I Woulda Did' meme originates from an interview featuring an alleged former professional hitman on the YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly. In the footage, the man analyzes various scenarios with a calm, matter-of-fact demeanor, eventually nodding in approval and uttering his iconic catchphrase when he sees a tactic he respects. Internet users quickly adopted the format to highlight moments of extreme efficiency, clever loopholes, or questionable but effective strategies in everyday life. It serves as the ultimate seal of approval for schemes that are technically sound but perhaps morally ambiguous, making it a favorite for 'modern problems require modern solutions' type humor.
