15 Times Eric Andre Shot Hannibal And Pretended He Did Not Do It
The Eric Andre Show is a time-honored classic. Since 2012, in dim basements, dorm rooms, and cafeteria tables across the world, cool people have gathered around a smartphone screen to see this new show that their one weird friend recommended and ricocheted between horror and laughter as they saw what unfolded across that screen. Understandably, a show this absurd and trendy has spawned many meme formats. One of the most popular is Who Killed Hannibal? a format which lends itself especially well to political critique. The feigned obliviousness of Eric Andre after clearly shooting his friend is echoed in the feigned obliviousness of world leaders, historical figures, and companies that deny our reality. Anytime we feel gaslighted, governed poorly, or simply pissed, Eric and Hannibal are there to help us express those feelings.
Ultimately, the person you lie to the most is the one who looks back at you in the mirror. Or so the old expression goes.
In this one, the memer makes a cogent point about the ongoing discussion around online privacy going on around the world, and its historical roots in War On Terror era policies by governments around the world.
Rasputin was very difficult to kill, possibly because he was magical. Certainly a Wikipedia hole worth getting into, if you’ve never gotten into it before.
It is no secret that memes borrow and remix from each other, although arguably these two memes are more different. Rather than sabotaging himself like the bicycle man, Eric Andre sabotages Hannibal’s internal organs by shooting him. But point taken.
