According to Know Your Meme, the ‘If you watch movie X backards, it’s about Y’ all started back in 2004 with an innocent thread on the Something Awful forums.

A few years later, a Yahoo! Answers post appeared about watching the movie Jaws backwards and it’s harmful effects.

And a couple years after that, the Jaws joke was posted on Reddit, starting a tsunami of Internet activity around the idea. A ton of new submissions surfaced and another joke entered the Internet canon.
