What does the “Put 'Em In a Coffin” meme mean?
This meme expresses exaggerated emotional or physical collapse, turning distress into a humorous spectacle. The pose, with crossed arms and turned face, visually resembles a body lying in a coffin. The dominant emotion is absurdity: participants simulate death or total despair in a stylized way, often to laugh at a mundane situation or dramatize an unexpected fall. It is purely visual performance, where the gesture matters more than words.
Where does the “Put 'Em In a Coffin” meme come from?
The trend emerged on the Vine platform in late May 2014, popularized by VonMar, a member of the rap group ThotBoyz. On June 11, 2014, he posted a video showing this specific gesture: jumping backward onto a table or car hood, arms crossed and face hidden. This video quickly surpassed 2.9 million views within six months, becoming the definitive reference for the format. The other individuals in the original video remain unidentified. Contrary to some rumors, it is not an excerpt from a TV show but a native Vine creation. The literal title “put him in a coffin” directly refers to the final body position. The wave then spread massively to YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter, with over 500 videos using associated hashtags between June and August 2014.
