I'll Do It Again
Also known as: I'll Fuckin' Do It Again · Goofy's Trial
"I'll Do It Again" is a reaction image macro featuring a crudely animated version of Disney's Goofy declaring "I'll fuckin' do it again" during a courtroom sketch. Originating from a 2017 YouTube audio skit and animated in 2020, the meme took off on Reddit in August 2019 as a way to express shameless, unapologetic intent to repeat a questionable action.
Overview
The meme uses a screenshot from an animated version of a comedy sketch where Goofy stands trial for a violent crime. In the key frame, Goofy faces the viewer with a blank, slightly unhinged expression and the caption "I'll fuckin' do it again." The image works as a reaction to any situation where someone knowingly does something they shouldn't, and openly admits they'd do it a second time. The humor comes from the contrast between Goofy's wholesome Disney image and the dark, defiant tone of the quote2.
On January 4, 2017, YouTuber TooDamnFilthy uploaded an audio sketch titled "GOOFY'S TRIAL." The bit plays out like a courtroom scene: Goofy is on trial for committing a mass shooting, confesses to the crime, and tells his lawyer he'll "fuckin' do it again." The video pulled in over 2.7 million views in its first three years2.
The sketch stayed in audio-only form until January 20, 2020, when YouTuber Shigloo posted a crude animation of the bit. Shigloo's version gave the meme its visual identity, racking up more than 6.5 million views within three years2. The rough, almost childlike animation style made the screenshot of Goofy's face instantly recognizable and easy to repurpose as a standalone reaction image.

Cultural Impact
Fun Facts
The original audio sketch by TooDamnFilthy was inspired by the style of Filthy Frank's comedy, fitting into the edgy YouTube sketch scene of the mid-2010s.
The meme went viral on Reddit a full year and a half before Shigloo's animation was even uploaded, meaning the earliest viral versions used frames from the original audio video's visual elements.
The four-day Reddit explosion in August 2019 saw at least four posts each break 6,000+ upvotes, an unusually concentrated burst for a single template.
