About
"Oh Boy, Here I Go Killing Again" is a memorable quote said by Rick and Morty animated series character Krombopulos Michael. Online, a still image from the episode paired with the quote has been used as an exploitable and a reaction image, often used to express annoyance or desire to kill or deliver vengeance.

On August 2nd, 2015, episode two "Mortynight Run" of the season two of the animated series Rick and Morty premiered in the United States.[1] In one scene of the episode, character Krombopulos Michael, an alien assassin, says "oh boy, here I go killing again" before infiltrating a guarded facility to kill his target.
Oh boy, here I go killing again.
On September 24th, 2015, Redditor mister_atoms posted the first known meme based on the scene, with the still image of Krombopulos Michael captioned "Oh boy, here I go nitpicking again" (shown below, left).[2] On October 15th, 2015, Imgur user ButtholeBlastme posted a captioned GIF of the scene, with the GIF accumulating over 964,300 views in four years (shown below, right).[3]

For example, on June 5th, 2016, Twitter user @MrZachStout posted the image to react to a Game of Thrones episode,[4] with Redditor Carlos_Sagan making a similar joke on June 7th, 2016 (shown below).[5] The post received over 80 upvotes in six months. A January 31st, 2017, America Invading for Oil post by Redditor LoloGuinazu1998 received over 2,600 upvotes (shown below, right).[6]
