Precursor

This Is So Sad refers to posts made in parody of posts like 5ever in which a scene of dialogue dramatically results in a character committing suicide before the other character can finish their sentence, and the bottom containing a caption with "This is so sad!" and positing some variation of "can we hit 50 likes?" and the character Sarcastic Bro on the far right corner. These posts began spreading on Reddit in early 2018. At the end of the posts, a line of text would read "This is so sad! Can we reach (X) likes?" The format was picked up in many Deep Fried Memes and shitposts.

Girl: "how much do u love me? Boy:"... Girl:"omg ur so mean I hate u!" girls commits suicide* boy visits girls grave* Boy: "..million" LIKE IF YOU CRIED This is so sad Can we hit 50 likes

Spread
