Chuck Norris, a legendary martial arts legend known for his machismo and machismo, passed away at the age of 86 on Friday at 86. The popular meme archive Know Your Meme traces the running joke back to the website Something Awful in 2005. The joke spread quickly, with the more impossible the feat, the funnier the joke. Despite his controversial political views, Norris embraced the meme trend, which he embraced and published a book of Chuck Norris Facts in 2009 and even broke the fourth wall in The Expendables 2 in 2012. Despite this, it is difficult to imagine such a reverent meme taking off today due to Norris' intolerant political views.
