The year is 2155, Earth burned to ash and humanity fled to the nearest planet. What is the meme that will not die?

This is a bit of a departure from the normal fare on this sub, but the most persistent meme must be, *(Adjusts glasses* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb on the planet, would ya?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that spent decades pissing away the chance to make sure the human race didn’t have to evacuate because some idiot dropped the bomb, would ya?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that killed our dog, would ya?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that refused to get new tires, which caused the car to crash and kill that one guy’s dad, would ya?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that went on a shooting spree in Texas, would ya?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that made some comment at a dinner party that caused that couple to break up, would ya?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that-* *What? Didn’t you hear, Jorvath, the guy that dropped the bomb is in here. His name is Bob.* Bob looked around, eyes wide, and promptly bolted out the door. Bob had no idea what was going on, but the look on the aliens’ faces told him it was nothing good. --- After Bob dodged the bomb and sped away from the scene in his sports car, he made his way to the nearest bar, *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb on the planet, would ya?* *Yeah, that was me.* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *That was me. What’s it to you?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *What? I just said that was me!* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *What? Stop. What’s so important about the bomb?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *Seriously, what’s your problem? The military is going to be here any minute.* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *That’s it. I’ve had enough.* Bob draws his pistol and prepares to fire, But before he gets the chance, a look of horror crosses his face. *I, uh, I have to go. Nice meeting you. This isn’t my fault.* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *I SAID IT WASNT MY FAULT. IT WASN’T MY FAULT. IT WASN’T MY FAULT.* Bob runs out of the bar, as the speaker in the corner starts blasting the song “It wasn’t my fault.” *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *What? No. I’ve never even been to Earth.* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *No. I’m not even from around here.* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *Why does everyone keep asking me that?* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *Aaaaa! I am not that guy!* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *For the love of all that is holy, stop! Stop with these questions! I am not that guy.* *You wouldn’t happen to be the guy that dropped the bomb, would ya?* *Fine. If you must know. I am, in fact, the guy who dropped the bomb.* *WELL THEN, YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *What?* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY WHO DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *Yes, that guy was me. What the hell is this?* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *Okay. Yes. I am the guy that dropped the bomb. Are you happy now?* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *What? Seriously? How many times have I said it now?* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *Yes. I am the guy who dropped the bomb. Do I need to take out an ad?* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *Seriously, how many times do I have to say it? I killed 8 billion people. I am the most prolific murderer in the history of humanity. Are you happy now?* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *I give up. I am the guy that dropped the bomb. I will not stop being the guy that dropped the bomb. If I ever stop being the guy that dropped the bomb, I will still be the guy that dropped the bomb. I am, was, and forever will be the guy who dropped the bomb.* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* I think I need to end this. Bob can’t keep living like this. So, *I’ve been looking for you, Bob.* *I am Agent Thompson, from the Ministry of Truth. It has come to my attention that you have information about something we don’t know about. We will be taking you in for questioning.* *Oh no.* *Sorry, Bob.* *It’s fine, I know I’m going to die.* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *Wait, how do you know my name?* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *That will be all.* *But-* *That will be all.* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* I pull out my pistol and fire several times, *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *Sorry, Bob.* But it doesn’t matter. Bob is on his way to a terrible fate, and no one will ever hear his name again. *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *Wait, what’s Bob’s deal?* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT DROPPED THE BOMB, WOULD YA?* *I don’t know, but he’s in a lot of trouble.* *YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THE GUY THAT D
