The 'What Are You Gonna Do, Stab Me?' meme features a screenshot from a news broadcast showing a man named Jack Beaton, with the subtitle quoting him just moments before his unfortunate encounter. Originally surfacing in the early 2010s, the image became a viral sensation for its peak irony and the 'famous last words' nature of the quote. It is widely used across social media to mock situations where someone's overconfidence or dismissal of a threat leads to an immediate and predictable consequence. The template serves as the ultimate punchline for hubris, appearing in everything from gaming failures to political blunders.
