God, there are so many of these. Some are smart and hilarious. Most are rubbish.
It seems that typing pretty much anything into google image search now days will result in at least a couple of them.

The "Cooters Gon Coot" is funny but what does the bottom mean exactly?

I'm curious to know what the first one was before all that viral copy cat stuff took over, a bit like the Obama "hope" poster .... It must have been one of the best to set such a bandwagon in motion.

Edit - I think I just found out thanks to Staxwax's links:

The Cooter bit came from this thread: http://www.soulstrut.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/71545/

I'm trying to remember exactly what thread the other part was referencing, but at some point Harvey told several folks that "Ya'll couldn't hang where it counts."

That has always seemed unnacurate to me. Shouldn't it be 'Where Wallace at?'.
