This Is So Sad

"This Is So Sad" refers to posts made in parody of posts like 5ever in which a scene of dialogue dramatically results in a character committing suicide before the other character can finish their sentence. These posts began spreading on Reddit in early 2018. At the end of the posts, a line of text would read “This is so sad! Can we reach (X) likes?” The format was picked up in many Deep Fried Memes and shitposts.
