Everybody Hates Chris is an American television sitcom that premiered in 2005, and clips tied to its intro or theme became familiar online through short edits and reaction memes. The sound is still used because the show's title alone communicates the joke immediately: someone is having a terrible time. On meme pages and short-form video platforms, creators drop it over relatable scenes about getting singled out, losing arguments, or dealing with a chain of small disasters.
