Llamas With Hats is a dark comedy web series created by Jason Steele of FilmCow that debuted on YouTube in 2009. The series follows Paul, an increasingly distressed llama, and his roommate Carl, a sociopathic llama who commits extreme acts of violence and chaos while acting completely oblivious to the gravity of his actions. The meme template typically captures the dynamic between Paul's moral outrage and Carl's deadpan, absurd justifications. It has become a staple of internet culture for representing situations involving unexpected escalations, questionable life choices, or any scenario where someone is calmly explaining away a total disaster.
