About

Homelander Death Scene Parodies, also known as Homelander Begging or Please X I'll Do Anything, is a series of memes that parody the scene in the last episode of The Boys TV series in which the character Homelander (played by actor Antony Starr) is killed by Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) after groveling and begging for his life, with meme creators reinterpreting the scene with characters from and references to other properties.

The season five finale to The Boys aired on May 20th, 2026, concluding the Amazon show's run. Memes parodying Homelander's death were popularized on X / Twitter the next day after X user @GamingAndPandas posted a viral meme reinterpreting it through Voldemort's death scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. The memes typically use the original dialogue as a phrasal template beginning with "Please X, I'll do anything!"

Origin

On May 20th, 2026, season five, episode eight (the series finale) of The Boys premiered. In the episode, Billy Butcher manages to kill Homelander in the Oval Office after he's been rendered powerless by Kimiko Miyashiro's chest blast (the same power Soldier Boy possessed that removes a supe's powers). Before he's killed, Homelander begs for his life, saying, "I'll fucking suck your dick, please. I'll do anything. You want me to eat shit? I'll eat your fucking shit. I'll eat your fucking shit on live TV."^[1]

On May 21st, X^[2] user @GamingAndPandas posted a parody of the scene in which they post a version of the dialogue from Homelander's death over an image of Voldemort's death scene from The Deathly Hallows Part 2, garnering over 1.2 million views and 58,000 likes in under a day.
