The 'There Is Only One Thing Worse Than A Rapist' meme originates from a sketch in the web series 'Theater Class,' created by YouTube comedian Brandon Rogers. In the scene, the character attempts to make a dramatic point during a rehearsal by revealing what he considers the ultimate evil, only for the reveal—a sign that says 'A CHILD'—to result in a hilariously dark and misinterpreted statement. Since its release, the clip has become a staple of internet culture, used primarily in video edits and image macros to highlight absurd or subverted expectations. It is frequently employed in situations where a speaker's dramatic build-up leads to an unintended or controversial conclusion.
