Benny Harvey and the "RIP Benny Harvey" Meme
Tragic Origins of a Viral Meme
A Closer Look at the Sketch
The phrase "RIP Benny Harvey" has become a popular meme in recent years, but few people know the tragic story behind it.
The phrase originated from a sketch on the BBC comedy show Limmy's Show. In the sketch, Limmy plays a character who is trying to convince his friend that Benny Harvey has died. The friend is skeptical at first, but Limmy eventually convinces him by saying that he saw Benny Harvey's ghost. The sketch ends with Limmy's friend crying and saying, "RIP Benny Harvey."
The sketch was based on a real-life tragedy. In 2008, a young man named Benny Harvey died by suicide. Limmy was a friend of Harvey's, and he was deeply affected by his death. The sketch was Limmy's way of coping with his grief.
The "RIP Benny Harvey" meme has become a way for people to express their own grief and loss. It is also a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
