    I’m probably missing a meme, what’s BP?

      British Petroleum. The meme comes from the South Park episode lampooning the BP oil spill and BP’s response to it. The meme is making fun of the fact that youtubers use the same non-apology whenever they’re in trouble.

        It’s also lampooning the video LeBron James made when switching teams for the first time.

      British Petroleum. That bit is about the South Park episode which originated the meme rather than whatever Linus did (of which I’m also out of the loop)

      British Petroleum, if I had to guess.

      They were largely (if not entirely) responsible for the oil that leaked/spilled into the Gulf of Mexico.
