AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The "I Killed Man" meme features an exploitable webcomic panel depicting two prisoners sitting on a bench. In this template, a large, bald prisoner shockingly confesses to a heinous crime. He then uncomfortably shifts away after his cellmate discloses a lesser, yet specifically bizarre reason for his own imprisonment. This sets the stage for various comedic adaptations where the smaller reason is replaced to create humor.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from a comic titled "Xbox Killer," published by Dueling Analogs, a gaming news site, on July 30th, 2009. In the comic, a large, bald inmate describes his gruesome crime in graphic detail to his cellmate. In response, the cellmate nonchalantly states that he bought an Xbox 360 just to watch it die. This absurd comparison causes the larger prisoner to scoot away on the bench. You can view the original comic here: Dueling Analogs^[1]
