Published October 22, 2026

Skips Sitting Next To Graves, also known as The Price of Immortality, is an object labeling meme based on fan art of the Regular Show character Skips, an immortal yeti, sitting beside the graves of his four mortal friends. Reddit users turned the 2015 fan comic into a meme in July 2019, and by April 2020 variants were earning 56,000 upvotes on r/BikiniBottomTwitter.

Overview

Posts take the four mortal Regular Show characters in the top panel and label them with things destined to end: discontinued products, canceled shows, defunct websites, dead franchises. Skips in the bottom panel gets labeled with whatever outlasted them all, from a long-running game series to an aging online service 3. The joke lands as a bittersweet gag about survival and nostalgia, with the labeled subjects often being staples that watched their rivals fade away 4.

Many variants use pop culture rivalries, like consoles, superheroes, or anime franchises, with one surviving example in the Skips slot 5. A JoJo's Bizarre Adventure version posted to r/ShitPostCrusaders in May 2020 showed the format moving into dedicated fandom subs, where the mortal characters stood in for dead party members and Skips held the character still alive 6.

Webcomic artist Irwincardozo Comics drew the original image, titled 'An Immortal Price,' and posted it to Facebook on May 25, 2015. The post collected over 49,000 likes, 28,000 shares and 3,800 comments 1. Skips never visits any such grave scene in the actual Cartoon Network series; the artwork is pure fan art playing on the fact that he's the only immortal character in Regular Show 7.

The image sat for roughly four years before Redditor Yandamenr turned it into a meme on July 18, 2019, posting a version to r/PewdiepieSubmissions where it earned over 35,000 upvotes and 324 comments 2.

How It Spread

The format sat quiet until spring 2020. On April 28, 2020, Redditor HunchoLou posted a Spongebob-flavored variant to r/BikiniBottomTwitter that collected 56,000 upvotes and 1,100 comments 3. One day later, user organic_crystal-meth posted another version to r/dankmemes, earning 34,000 upvotes and 260 comments 4.

Momentum continued through May. On May 12, 2020, Redditor COD_FISH-06 posted a variant to r/memes that received 48,000 upvotes and 1,400 comments 5. Then on May 25, Konfuze7 posted a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure version to r/ShitPostCrusaders, picking up 31,000 upvotes and 330 comments 6. Skips Sitting Next To Graves worked well in franchise-specific subs because the base image stayed constant while the labels could reference any dead-friend grouping 7.

How to Use This Meme

Users typically label the top panel's four Regular Show characters with items, products, or media now gone, and the bottom panel Skips with whatever outlasted them. Common conventions include labeling the top row with old competitors, canceled series, or rival franchises, so the punchline is the viewer realizing only the Skips-labeled subject is still around 3.
