The "Shoot This Dog" meme originates from a controversial 1980s National Lampoon magazine cover, which featured a picture of a dog with a gun pointed at its head and the headline, “If You Don’t Buy This Magazine, We’ll Kill This Dog.” The image is intentionally shocking and satirical, poking fun at extreme marketing tactics and the absurdity of such drastic measures for attention. Over time, the meme has been adapted to various humorous contexts online, where creators substitute different text, scenarios, or stakes, playing on the meme’s hyperbolic nature to highlight or criticize exaggerated demands or consequences.
