What the Are We The Baddies? meme means
The 2006 That Mitchell and Webb Look sketch is the source. The meme signals an uneasy realization that a group’s own behavior or symbols expose it as harmful/hypocritical; treat Nazi imagery seriously and joke about the present-day group’s self-recognition, not victims or atrocities.
Two suited WWII officers from a Mitchell and Webb sketch notice their skull insignia and question whether their side is evil.
How the joke works
Slot 1 reveals a group’s stated virtue/identity; slot 2 supplies the concrete behavior or symbol that contradicts it and prompts the baddies question. Specific evidence should make recognition unavoidable.
- Group’s claimed identity/value
- Contradictory behavior/symbol triggering recognition
