Team America: World Police (2004) is a satirical action comedy created by South Park masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone. In this legendary scene, a Broadway-style marionette performer, voiced by the creators, delivers a jarringly upbeat musical number titled 'Everyone Has AIDS.' The scene is a biting parody of the musical 'Rent' and the mid-2000s trend of using 'issue-based' theater to dramatize global health crises with excessive theatricality. The humor stems from the extreme juxtaposition of the catchy, cheerful tune against the heavy, tragic subject matter being sung by a puppet. As a meme, this clip is the gold standard for expressing a situation where everything has gone completely wrong for everyone involved. It is frequently used to mock widespread failures, shared misery in group chats, or the moment a 'virus' (literal or metaphorical) spreads through a community. Example captions include: 'Me telling the squad we all failed the group project,' 'When the entire company gets CC’d on the 'reply-all' disaster,' and 'Telling the boys that none of us are getting our deposits back.'
