The 'Why would X do this' meme, also known as 'Who Killed Hannibal,' stems from a 2013 episode of The Eric Andre Show. In the scene, comedian Eric Andre abruptly shoots his co-host Hannibal Buress multiple times before turning to the audience and asking, 'Who killed Hannibal?' The meme became a viral sensation as a way to mock people or entities that cause a problem and then blame an innocent party or an external force for the consequences. It is widely used to highlight hypocrisy and the refusal to take responsibility in politics, pop culture, and everyday life.
