I Sold the World

I sold the world

Two eyepatched soldiers stand together in dark tactical clothing, while the soldier on the right carries a red shield labeled “I sold the world” and has a prosthetic arm. The joke is a pun on Metal Gear’s recurring Snake characters and the phrase “I sold the world,” suggesting a comically literal betrayal or deal involving the entire world. It works as an absurd reaction image for selling out, betrayal, or an outrageous bargain.
