The 'Why Would They Do This?' meme, also known as 'Who Killed Hannibal?', originates from a Season 2 episode of The Eric André Show aired in 2013. In the scene, Eric André suddenly shoots his co-host Hannibal Buress multiple times, then turns to the camera and asks, 'Who killed Hannibal?' It serves as a perfect visual metaphor for situations where a person or entity causes a problem and then blames an outside force or the victim itself. The meme gained massive popularity on Reddit and Twitter in 2018, becoming a staple for political commentary, social satire, and highlighting blatant hypocrisy.
