“Dead body reported” memes use a screenshot from the free mobile game Among Us to highlight epic burns and other devastating moments. In the game, when a Crewmember dies, the screen displays a message that reads “dead body reported.”

In September 2020, along with Emergency Meeting memes, this format rose to popularity on Reddit. Similar to formats like oof size large, this one is typically used as a reaction to insults and unfortunate situations.
