They may say that cats have nine lives, but there's an argument to be made that some humans have far more than that. While most of us might not be as agile and adventurous as the average feline, getting into sticky situations is an unavoidable part of existence that no species is immune from. Not everyone has had a true near-death experience, but pretty much all of us have a few stories to tell about times when it felt like we were close to the brink. Life comes at you fast, and sometimes it's easy to feel like even the dumbest of situations is enough to finish you off. This is a key inspiration for the What Happened To Him? meme, in which two stick men carry away a third on a stretcher because of something that he wasn't able to recover from. It doesn't matter if he sent an awkward text, or he lost a battle with his mom, this little guy is in a bad way that is pretty relatable. It's enough to make you want a comeback for fainting couches.
