Dont Ever Talk to Me or My Son Again Meme
Published Mar 18, 2016 Updated May 27, 2021, 1:51 am CDT
Parents don't always get memes, but when the 2 mix, it'south typically comedic gold. Like when moms began figuring out what "Netflix and Chill" really meant—or when 2015 became the yr of the Dad Joke.
Enter the latest trend: "Don't talk to me or my son always again."
First off, imagine where you lot'd hear the phrase "don't talk to me or my son ever again." Perchance the speaker's son—let'south call him Billy—got caught up with the neighborhood troublemaker and was busted smoking cigarettes in the Target parking lot or drawing penises on a classroom door. When the mischief-maker knocks on Billy's front door, Billy's mom or dad is standing there with Billy behind them: "Don't talk to me or my son ever over again."
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 ever again" superimposed in red font. (The grapheme doesn't take a child in the series, but the idea is that this mini-me is the "son" in this context.)
Splendidland'due south post did fine on Tumblr, racking upwardly around 6,300 notes. A considerable success, just not what you would call viral.
Know Your Meme points out that the meme then laid low for a while, then made a comeback with assistance from Yoshi. A Tumblr mail from konkeydongcountry in August 2015 featured 2 plush Yoshis, 1 larger than the other. This time the caption was "don't yous Always talk to me or my son that way again"—tweaked slightly from the Cowboy Bebop post.
Soon later, in Oct, the meme trickled over to Twitter, retaining its new Yoshi motif. Twitter user @yoshibot posted a pic of a life-size Yoshi costume and a Photoshopped version that makes it look shorter. The caption better matched the Spiegel post, only differing by two words. "don't you ever talk to me or my son over again" adds in the "you" but omits the "ever." All three incarnation have the same basic message just are linguistically just a smidge removed from one some other.

Since the Yoshi posts, a steady meme-mentum has congenital. Every bit of February and March 2016, the meme has exploded in popularity all over Tumblr And Twitter, even making information technology to the elusive meme groups of Facebook.
The phase always seems to vary—but you become the bespeak. The meme typically hinges on a "son" who is merely a tinier copy of the parent, usually created through some sort of image editing. Many people have also simply turned themselves into the son. True mini-mes.

But, like any skilful meme that takes over our dashboards and feeds, the thought mutates. Either people interpret information technology in a new light or find some other 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 paradigm.

Some accept likewise plant a way to poke a little fun at the subject of the picture they're using. Instance in point: identifying Justin Bieber every bit Ellen DeGeneres' son. He might not be physically smaller than the talk evidence host, but it totally looks similar he'southward descended from her lesbian lineage.

At that place'due south no way to quite predict how the meme might evolve next. What we do know is that there's plenty of overprotective "parents" out in that location on the Cyberspace right now, keeping their sons rubber and sound.
