Boss, You Killed a Child

Text on the meme

Boss, you killed a child...? Amazing. Mission complete. That right there is why you're the best, Boss.

What it means

A dark video-game scene cuts to a score screen from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, while subtitles praise the Boss after he apparently kills a child. The joke is deliberately absurd and morally inverted: a horrific action is treated as proof of excellence, making it useful as a sarcastic reaction to praising someone for something terrible.
