About
Who Killed Hannibal?, also known as Eric Andre Shooting Hannibal Buress and *Why Would X Do This?", refers to a skit from The Eric Andre Show in which we see Andre fire a gun multiple times as co-host Hannibal Buress, then turn to the camera and ask "Who killed Hannibal?" The scene became an object labeling exploitable image macro in 2018 in which the characters are labeled differently and Andre's line of dialogue is substituted with variations of the phrasal template "Why would X do this?"
Origin
The scene comes from Season 2, episode 6 of The Eric Andre Show, which aired November 7th, 2013.[1] While making a joke about climate change, Andre turns and shoots several bullets into Buress. He then reloads the weapon, and fires several bullets at Buress again, then turns to the camera and asks "Who killed Hannibal?" (shown below).
