Dont Talk to Me or My Son Ever Again.

Parents don't always become memes, but when the ii mix, it's typically comedic golden. Like when moms began figuring out what "Netflix and Arctic" really meant—or when 2015 became the yr of the Dad Joke.
Enter the latest trend: "Don't talk to me or my son ever again."
Outset off, imagine where yous'd hear the phrase "don't talk to me or my son always once more." Perhaps the speaker'due south son—let's call him Billy—got caught upwards with the neighborhood troublemaker and was busted smoking cigarettes in the Target parking lot or cartoon penises on a classroom door. When the mischief-maker knocks on Billy's forepart door, Baton'due south mom or dad is continuing at that place with Billy behind them: "Don't talk to me or my son ever once more."
According to Know Your Meme, the punchline was originated in a 2014 post involving the anime Cowboy Bebop. Tumblr user splendidland uploaded an image of the character Spike Spiegel and a snack-size version of Spiegel with the words "don't ever talk to me or my son always again" superimposed in red font. (The grapheme doesn't have a kid in the series, but the idea is that this mini-me is the "son" in this context.)
Splendidland's post did fine on Tumblr, racking upwards around 6,300 notes. A considerable success, only not what y'all would call viral.
Know Your Meme points out that the meme and then laid low for a while, and so made a comeback with help from Yoshi. A Tumblr mail from konkeydongcountry in Baronial 2015 featured two plush Yoshis, i larger than the other. This time the explanation was "don't y'all Ever talk to me or my son that way again"—tweaked slightly from the Cowboy Bebop post.
Soon afterwards, in October, the meme trickled over to Twitter, retaining its new Yoshi motif. Twitter user @yoshibot posted a picture of a life-size Yoshi costume and a Photoshopped version that makes it look shorter. The caption better matched the Spiegel post, only differing past two words. "don't you ever talk to me or my son again" adds in the "y'all" simply omits the "ever." All 3 incarnation have the aforementioned basic bulletin but are linguistically merely a smidge removed from ane another.

Since the Yoshi posts, a steady meme-mentum has built. Every bit of Feb and March 2016, the meme has exploded in popularity all over Tumblr And Twitter, fifty-fifty making it to the elusive meme groups of Facebook.
The stage always seems to vary—but you get the signal. The meme typically hinges on a "son" who is just a tinier re-create of the parent, unremarkably created through some sort of image editing. Many people have also simply turned themselves into the son. Truthful mini-mes.

Merely, like any good meme that takes over our dashboards and feeds, the idea mutates. Either people interpret it in a new light or find another way to exhibit the ethos of the meme. For example, people have started to find miniature versions of the parent IRL instead of editing the image.

Some accept also found a way to poke a little fun at the subject field of the picture they're using. Case in point: identifying Justin Bieber as Ellen DeGeneres' son. He might non exist physically smaller than the talk bear witness host, just it totally looks like he'south descended from her lesbian lineage.

There are too riffs where the bite-sized sons and their parent are deliciously hilarious.

In other versions, the meme is simply escalated to other levels. Like this son of a son of a son of a son… you go it.

In that location's no manner to quite predict how the meme might evolve next. What nosotros do know is that at that place'south plenty of overprotective "parents" out there on the Internet correct now, keeping their sons safe and sound.
