# Slap of God Slap of God, also known as I'm Bored I'm Gonna Kill You, is a video meme built around a scene from the 2017 Nicolas Cage horror film Mom and Dad where his character flattens another man's head with a single palm strike. YouTuber Rigamarole rotoscoped the moment into a Rick and Morty parody in October 2022, and by March 2023 Team Fortress 2 and Pizza Tower reanimators were cloning the hit frame by frame. ## Origin The source scene comes from Mom and Dad, a 2017 Brian Taylor comedy horror in which Nicolas Cage plays Brent Ryan, a father driven to kill his own children, and dispatches Damon Hall (Robert T. Cunningham) by slamming his head into the ground with one hand[5]. On August 18th, 2020, YouTuber burpy clipped the two-second strike under the title 'Nicolas Cage and the slap of God,' a nod to Cage's online nickname 'One True God,' and the upload accumulated roughly 1.4 million views over two years[6]. The meme format itself arrived on October 13th, 2022, when YouTuber Rigamarole posted 'Ric and Mort (Rick and Morty Parody),' a one-minute cartoon where Rick deadpans 'Morty, I'm bored. I'm gonna kill you' at the 0:48 mark before rotoscoping Cage's slap onto Morty's head while Bach's Cello Suite plays[7]. Rigamarole's video reached roughly 2.8 million views and 187,000 likes within five months, giving the scene the catchphrase and musical cue that later edits treat as fixed[2]. - **Platform:** Mom and Dad film (source scene) / YouTube (viral spread) - **Creator:** Rigamarole (YouTube) - **Date:** 2022 ## Overview Slap of God, also known as Morty I'm Bored I'm Gonna Kill You, pairs a two-second shot of Nicolas Cage obliterating a man's skull with calm Baroque string music, usually Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major[1]. The gag works because the hit itself is cartoonishly fast and physically absurd, so recreating it with any character, from Scout in Team Fortress 2 to a Pizza Tower sprite, lands as both brutal and silly[2]. The template takes two shapes online. Short edits swap the song, keep the Rick and Morty rotoscope, and change nothing else, like idontgoout's 'Ouverture' reupload set to Carmen[3]. Full reanimations redraw the entire hit using a different cast and lean on Source Filmmaker, Garry's Mod, or hand animation to match the original timing[4]. The joke stays the same: a bored character announces the murder, the music starts, the head meets the floor. ## How to Use Reposters typically keep Rigamarole's audio and rotoscope and change one layer. A common convention is swapping the Bach cue for another classical piece, as idontgoout did with Bizet's 'Ouverture' from Carmen[3]. Reanimators often rebuild the hit shot-for-shot in Source Filmmaker or Garry's Mod with a different cast, usually a bored authority figure flattening a subordinate, and keep the 'I'm bored, I'm gonna kill you' line intact[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Slap of God?
