Originating from the 2008 blockbuster 'The Dark Knight,' this meme features Alfred Pennyworth (played by Michael Caine) explaining the Joker’s nihilistic motivations to Bruce Wayne. The line 'Some men just want to watch the world burn' was intended to describe a villain who couldn't be bought or reasoned with, but the internet quickly repurposed it for humorous effect. Today, the template is widely used to describe people who perform petty acts of chaos or minor social transgressions—like eating a KitKat without breaking the bars—simply to annoy others. It remains one of the most recognizable reaction images for highlighting irrational or 'chaotic evil' behavior in everyday life.
