The 'Me and My Friends Would've Killed X with Hammers' meme originated from a viral Twitter (now X) post where a user confidently claimed they and their peer group could defeat a terrifying entity using only blunt tools. This brand of humor parodies internet bravado and the 'we're just built different' sentiment, applying a low-tech solution to high-stakes scenarios like Eldritch horrors, cinematic monsters, or complex historical events. The joke thrives on the sheer absurdity of physical violence involving hammers being more effective than magic, technology, or fate. It has since become a staple for users to mock the power levels of popular fictional characters or daunting real-life situations.
