That's How Mafia Works is an expression parodying Instagram advertisements for the mobile game Mafia City in which a cartoon businessman points to an image with the caption "That's how mafia works". The meme was created and popularised by YouTuber Slazo in the video "Hilariously Bad Instagram Ads" and spread by Slazo's fanbase through the r/slazo subreddit. It's commonly used as meme captions , in a similar way to other meme captions such as This Is So Sad, and is often used to emphasize when something is considered tough or edgy. The caption is also commonly featured in deep fried memes, shitposts, as a macro image and as captions to Florida Man memes. The meme is also often used in conjunction with Mafia City memes.
