I've never understood what this one is supposed to mean lol

It's a reference to the "Kelly" satirical comics published by The Onion. This is the author persona's self-portrait, which is usually accompanied by a pun relevant to the comic.

I know where it comes from, but I don't get the meaning of it. Like I understand what people mean by sicko-flipped but not Kelly. He looks like he's writing my name down because I'm in trouble.

i feel like we post it as the emoji equivalent of a post that would otherwise say "GOOD pun"

Often kelly is next to a funny caption or * Latest Fad, indicating he's saying something in the comic is a fad for humor.

EDIT: Here's an example

kelly always has this image of him in the bottom right corner doing a pun. the meaning is just "i did a pun"
