The Hannibal Buress 'Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?' meme originates from an episode of 'The Eric Andre Show' on Adult Swim. During a chaotic interview segment, Hannibal delivers this deadpan line in response to a guest, perfectly capturing the surreal and satirical tone of the series. Since its debut, the image has become a staple reaction across social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit. It is primarily used to sarcastically 'applaud' someone for stating an obvious truth or to ironically support a bizarre and unpopular opinion. The meme's longevity is a testament to Hannibal's perfect delivery and the universal relatability of reacting to weirdly bold statements.
