The 'Woe, Plague Be Upon Ye' meme is a hilarious digital edit of a photograph featuring rapper Eminem throwing an object—most famously a rat or a glowing orb—directly at the viewer. Emerging from a 2021 Tumblr post, the meme combines a low-quality image of the artist with a mock-medieval curse, creating a surreal and aggressive vibe. It is typically used to represent a sudden, unwanted delivery or as a reaction to someone saying something annoying. The template has since evolved to include various characters replacing Eminem, but the original's chaotic energy remains a fan favorite for delivering comedic hexes across social media.
