The Robert Mugabe Fall meme originated from a photograph captured in February 2015, showing the then-President of Zimbabwe stumbling on a red carpet at Harare International Airport. Despite his security detail’s aggressive efforts to force journalists to delete the images, the photograph quickly leaked online, triggering a massive wave of photoshop parodies known as #MugabeFalls. The meme typically features Mugabe’s mid-air posture edited into various hilarious contexts, such as competitive dancing, surfing, or escaping from movie monsters. It serves as a classic example of the Streisand Effect, where the attempt to suppress information only leads to its wider viral dissemination.
