The Villanos (Villainous) meme stems from the popular Cartoon Network animated series created by Alan Ituriel. Featuring the powerful and intimidating Black Hat and his eccentric team of evil assistants, the show became a massive hit across Latin America and globally. Fans quickly turned scenes of the characters' chaotic interactions and failed evil schemes into versatile meme templates. These memes are typically used to express dark humor, celebrate minor 'evil' wins, or parody the dysfunctional dynamics of corporate environments. Its popularity is fueled by the distinct art style and the relatable, albeit villainous, reactions of characters like Dr. Flug, Demencia, and 5.0.5.
