call of duty

We love roasting people as much as the next guy, but we have got to admit it doesn't take a whole lot of wit or bravery to insult a person. It's a sacrificial self-own, in an attempt to really roast someone else, that garners our highest respect. And memers have started circulating some seriously fire examples of these sacrifices. The meme uses a Call of Duty perk, Martyrdom, and pairs it with examples of self-roasting from Reddit and beyond. The resulting memes are riotously funny, and we've put together the cream of the crop just for you. 

Dank memes and video games always just seem to go together so perfectly, so of course we were excited about this meme that stems from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, known as "Bravo Six, Going Dark."

Check out the good folks at Know Your Meme for even more prime examples!

You don't have to be a gamer to appreciate this Call of Duty meme format. This meme from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 comes from a scene in which General Shepherd shoots down both the player-character and Roach, an act of betrayal as he is thought to be an ally. As pretty much everyone alive (or dead) has experienced some form of treachery, the format is incredibly versatile and extremely relatable. It's being used to describe classic betrayal scenarios as well as smaller, petty and amusing disloyalty, such as asking the teacher to collect the homework. We've put together some of our favorites, but if they're not enough, you can check out some of our gaming collections here and here.

This one's for the gamers.
