The 'Sickos Haha Yes' meme originates from a 2017 editorial cartoon by Stan Kelly for The Onion, satirizing overly dramatic political commentary. The image depicts a leering, sweat-drenched man peering through a window at a chaotic scene, uttering the phrase, 'YES... HA HA HA... YES!' While originally intended as a parody of right-wing caricatures, the internet repurposed the 'Sicko' to represent anyone who takes perverse pleasure in observing drama, cringe-worthy content, or public disasters. It is widely used on social media to express a guilty enjoyment of chaotic events or to label oneself as someone who thrives on internet controversy.
