Origin

While one is unable to pinpoint the exact date of the start of this meme, it has been popularly featured on 4chan's random board (/b/) since 2007. The earliest 4chan archive thread[1] dates back to December of 2007. The origin of the picture comes from a widely-used image of an old man apparently having a heart attack. It is the first image that appears when one searches for "heart attack" in Google Images[2]. Since it is essentially a stock photo, the image is also used in other contexts.
