This meme illustrates the concept of Annualism, where the life of an organization becomes synonymous with a single annual event. In this visual, the "flu shot" is the year "2016," where a gorilla gets shot. The first block of years (2011-2015) represents the "normal" years, while the second block (2017-2021) represents the "troubled" years defined by that single, tragic event.

The meme is a humorous commentary on the annual tradition of making predictions for the upcoming year, specifically in the context of the internet's collective "predictions" for the year 2021. The image is a series of images with years from 2011 to 2021, with each year followed by a humorous or absurd prediction, such as "2011: The year of the zombie apocalypse" or "2012: The year of the world's biggest cat". The final entry, "2021: A gorilla gets shot", is a tongue-in-cheek prediction that is meant to be humorous and ironic, implying that the year 2021 will be a year of unexpected and absurd events.
The text "A gorilla gets shot" is a reference to the 2021 video game "The Last 100 Days", which features a character who is shot by a gorilla, and is a humorous and ironic prediction of the year 2021.
