What if We're All Dead Since 2012 and This Is Hell?

What if we’re all dead since December 2012 and this is all hell?
Overview
A meme consisting of a top text overlay and an animated character. The top text reads: 'What if we’re all dead since December 2012 and this is all hell?' Below the text is a screenshot of Bobby Hill, a character from the animated TV show 'King of the Hill,' sitting at a table. He has short blonde hair, wears a dark shirt, and holds a cigarette in his right hand. Beside him on the table is a large pile of red and white cigarette packs, likely the 'Player's' brand. Bobby's expression is contemplative and slightly confused, contrasting with the morbidly humorous existential question posed by the text, which references the 2012 doomsday conspiracy theory.
Origin notes
The meme originates from Reddit, as indicated by the source information. It is a remix of existing content, using a screenshot of Bobby Hill from the animated series 'King of the Hill.' The original scene from the show has been edited by adding the top text to create a new context, presenting a conspiracy theory about the 2012 apocalypse and existential doubt. The character's posture and the pile of cigarette packs are likely from a specific episode but repurposed here for comedic and philosophical effect.

Behind the character is a partial sign reading 'DAYS WITHOUT'. Prominently overlaid in bold yellow and white text is 'IDIOCACY BECOMING REALITY'. The meme humorously repurposes the '0 days without [incident]' format—typically used in workplaces to track safety streaks—to satirize the frequent perception that the 2006 film 'Idiocracy' (which depicts a dystopian future of societal decline) is increasingly reflecting现实.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/74/ef/9d/6f/74ef9d6f0896a3e35468ec49936ff372.jpeg.webp)
![A two-panel meme featuring Syndrome, a character from the animated film 'The Incredibles,' set against a sunset ocean background. The top panel shows Syndrome with curly red hair, wearing a red and gold suit, displaying an anxious expression while clasping his hands. Overlaid text reads: 'There is no [blacked out] there is no [blacked out].' The bottom panel shows the same character with a more intense, defiant expression, leaning forward, with overlaid text: 'and there is no Epstein list.' The meme uses sarcasm to reference the controversial 'Epstein list' conspiracy theory by depicting Syndrome denying its existence, leveraging his villainous persona from the original film.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/3b/d6/55/8b/3bd6558bae1d0e9aa384ff243b4dad65.jpeg.webp)
