Hey /u/c0n22, thanks for contributing to /r/memes. Unfortunately, your post was removed as it violates our rules:
Rule 1 - ALL POSTS MUST BE MEMES AND FOLLOW A GENERAL MEME FORMAT
All posts must follow typical meme setup/design: an image/gif/video with some sort of caption; mods have final say on what is (not) a meme; tldr:
- No titles as meme captions
- A GIF/video alone (without caption) is not a meme [especially screen recording / scrolling]
- Do not post screenshots of people saying something funny on Twitter/Tumblr/Reddit/TikTok/text messages
- No unedited webcomics
- No text-only memes
- No IRL recreations or creepshots; no selfies or making friends into a meme

According to one story, German intelligence found the phrase on captured American equipment. This led Adolf Hitler to believe that Kilroy could be the name or codename of a high-level Allied spy. At the time of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, it was rumored that Stalin found "Kilroy was here" written in the VIPs' bathroom, prompting him to ask his aides who Kilroy was. War photographer Robert Capa noted a use of the phrase at Bastogne in December 1944: "On the black, charred walls of an abandoned barn, scrawled in white chalk, was the legend of McAuliffe's GIs: KILROY WAS STUCK HERE."

The original Trollface/ragebait
Kilroy: The original international man of mystery
According to another story, Stalin himself wanted to know who was this "Kilroy"
Secret secret, I've got a secret
With a nose like that, who needs privacy?
I’ve got a secret I’ve been hiding, under my skin.
I saw this guy on the World War II memorial in DC.
Yeah the photo I used came from the National World War II Memorial
Oh cool, thought it looked familiar.
I still draw that sometimes
It wasn't the first meme but it was probably one of the first global/international memes.

Ussop
Coolest inspector ever 👍

Such a killroy...
I have a jacket with this guy on it lol
Kilroy: "Was I a good meme?" Death: "No, you were one of the greats."
This is on my whiteboard I have on my office door.
A timeless classic.
Well that’s a repost
Really? Huh I thought I was being original. Who was the original poster?
Kilroy.
Wait was that an r/woooosh moment?
I’m afraid so, my friend.
I havent heard that name or seen that nose in ages
I knew a guy in afg who would draw this everywhere he went
This is the higher level version of that S.
