The 'You Get What You Fucking Deserve' meme originates from a pivotal scene in the 2019 psychological thriller Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix. In this sequence, protagonist Arthur Fleck appears on Murray Franklin's talk show and delivers the line just before a violent outburst, serving as the climax of his descent into the Joker persona. Online, the image of Arthur in his colorful suit became a viral sensation as a way to describe moments of poetic justice, retribution, or extreme karma. While the original scene is dark, internet users often apply it to mundane or humorous situations where someone finally faces the consequences of their actions, making it one of the most recognizable reaction images from modern cinema.
