About

Lord Forgive Me is a phrasal meme associated with sarcastically edgy pictures in which the subject is praying for God's forgiveness that he/she will be returning to a life of sin and violence. The pictures are often deep fried and feature children's cartoon characters.

Origin

On November 10th, 2015, Reddit user suctionpolecat uploaded an image macro of Bugs Bunny from Looney Toons holding a gun accompanied with the phrase "Lord Forgive Me But Its Time To Go Back To The Old Me" to /r/terriblefacebookmemes.^[1] This suggests the image appeared on Facebook before suctionpolecat's post, but has likely since been deleted. The post gained 102 points (shown below).

Spread

In the coming years, the phrase was accompanied with various cartoon and children's characters such as Mario and Luigi, as well as a photo of a piece of art by Banksy, and more. There were also edits that turned the caption into a snowclone. For example, one found a picture of Fred Flinstone captioned "Forgive Me For What I Must Yabba Dabba Doo"was posted to me_irl on July 24th, 2016 (shown below).
