This Is Sparta!

Bottom Line: Images and videos sporting this meme have appeared all over the Internet, like most movie-based memes it was especially popular after the movie’s release and has died off significantly since then.

A parody of Leonidas’ famous line, “This Is Sparta!” From the movie 300. In it, he is justifying what could be considered an over-reaction by calling on the historically no nonsense Spartan culture. It has spread through the internet mostly as Leonidas’ head super-imposed on unrelated images often with slightly modified versions of the quote.
