You killed the men Not the Idea

What it means

Two smiling older men appear above two younger men wearing shirts with the older pair’s faces printed on them. The joke is that even if the original men are gone, their idea and image live on through devoted imitators; it is used as an absurd reaction to something surviving its creator.
