Boss music intensifies

This meme uses the popular blurry shocked Elmo template to create a joke combining two internet trends: classic Chuck Norris 'fact' memes that exaggerate his extreme toughness and immortality, and video game boss fight mechanics. The overlaid text reads 'Death seeing Chuck's 2nd health bar appear', which means Death (who was trying to kill Chuck Norris) is shocked to see a second health bar (a common video game trope where bosses get multiple health bars for different phases) after depleting the first. Elmo's shocked, wide-eyed expression represents Death's surprise, and the original title 'Boss music intensifies' further references the video game trope of boss music starting when a boss enters a new phase.
