I am seeing a lot of memes with the outline of a man lying on the ground with references to Saddam Hussein. Can somebody tell me what is going on?

It's been on a low boil for a while now. Think of it a bit like a Rick Roll or that one joke a stand-up comic repeatedly comes back to during their set. If it happens a lot it can stop being funny to the point of annoyance, but then there's a spike in it being funny again if the frequency keeps up, or there's an especially clever or unexpected iteration of it.

Something something running a joke into the ground something something hahaha, etc.

Into the ground you say?

Until all that's left of the joke is bricks and rubble
