Sweet Jesus, Pooh! is an exploitable comic featuring the character Tigger from Winnie the Pooh panicking over Pooh’s ingestion of his father’s cremated ashes. The comic is usually edited to feature different ingested substances as well as different remarks made by Pooh.

The original comic was published by the webcomic Safely Endangered under the title “Oh Bother” on July 5, 2013.[1]

An edit featuring The Illuminati and Jet Fuel Can’t Melt Steel Beams was posted to the subreddit /r/conspiracy on February 2, 2015, where it gained over 100 upvotes.[2] Compilations of comic edits were uploaded to FunnyJunk and Imgur in May 2015.[3][4] An edit of the comic about harsh noise music was reposted to the Tumblr blog Power and Violence On July 9, where it gained over 12,000 notes.[5]
