Everyone online hates the 'Be Like Bill' meme so much, now they are brilliantly mocking it

If you haven't seen a 'Be Like Bill' meme pop up on the internets recently, you're in the minority.

Here he is...

The passive-aggressive stick man, who inexplicably wears a bobble hat, first appeared last year to tell people how not to annoy others in their on- and offline behaviour - but for some reason, 2016 is the Year of Bill so far:

Deal with it. Be like Bill.

Some people are taking the meme into their own hands.

Don't be like Bill! He's controlling you like a puppet! It's your life ! So you gotta be yourself not like the stupid Bill! 󾍇 #DBLB

Or deliberately posting recreations that miss the point.

We now appear to be stuck in a vicious cycle where the anti-Bill memes are just as ubiquitous as the originals.

Come on, 2016. You can do better than this.
