The Logan Paul Tasering Dead Rat meme stems from a controversial 2018 YouTube video where the internet personality used a Taser on two dead rats on his balcony. Coming shortly after his widely condemned Aokigahara forest video, this moment became a symbol of his polarizing approach to content creation. In the meme world, the template is typically used to represent someone 'beating a dead horse,' reviving a dead joke, or reacting with excessive force to something that is already finished or irrelevant. It captures a sense of unnecessary intensity and the pursuit of shock value at all costs.
