About

Cropped Image Macros refer to image macros that have been purposefully edited to remove part of the superimposed text and thereby alter the meaning of the image, usually to satirical, surreal, or anti-humorous effect.

Origin

On October 12th, 2017, Twitter user @electrapng tweeted four pictures of Chuck Norris memes with the bottom text cropped out so that only the set-up to old Chuck Norris image macros creating a surreal anti-humor effect. The tweet gained over 27,000 retweets and 71,000 likes. The pictures the user cropped are shown below:
