A tech support worker investigates a new programmer's computer crashes and discovers enormous ZIP archives with cryptic names, Russian-named folders, and bizarre sheep-shaving videos. The joke is that the suspicious archives are implied to be zip bombs, malicious compressed files that overwhelm a computer when opened, while the employee's nervous denial makes the situation even more absurd. This meme is shared as a reaction to suspicious files, disastrous IT support stories, or unexplained computer problems.
