Dont You Ever Talk to Me or My Son Again

Parents don't always get memes, but when the two mix, it's typically comedic golden. Similar when moms began figuring out what "Netflix and Arctic" actually meant—or when 2015 became the year of the Dad Joke.
Enter the latest trend: "Don't talk to me or my son ever again."
First off, imagine where y'all'd hear the phrase "don't talk to me or my son always over again." Perhaps the speaker'due south son—allow'due south call him Billy—got caught up 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 front door, Baton'due south mom or dad is standing in that location with Billy behind them: "Don't talk to me or my son ever once more."
Co-ordinate to Know Your Meme, the punchline was originated in a 2014 post involving the anime Cowboy Bebop. Tumblr user splendidland uploaded an epitome 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 character doesn't accept a kid in the series, just the idea is that this mini-me is the "son" in this context.)
Splendidland'southward mail did fine on Tumblr, racking upwardly effectually 6,300 notes. A considerable success, but not what you would call viral.
Know Your Meme points out that the meme then laid low for a while, and so made a comeback with help from Yoshi. A Tumblr post from konkeydongcountry in August 2015 featured two plush Yoshis, one larger than the other. This time the caption was "don't you Ever talk to me or my son that way again"—tweaked slightly from the Cowboy Bebop post.
Soon after, in October, 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 postal service, but differing by two words. "don't you ever talk to me or my son once again" adds in the "you" but omits the "ever." All three incarnation have the same bones message but 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 ever seems to vary—only you lot get the point. The meme typically hinges on a "son" who is just a tinier copy of the parent, usually created through some sort of image editing. Many people have as well simply turned themselves into the son. True mini-mes.

But, like any skilful meme that takes over our dashboards and feeds, the idea mutates. Either people interpret information technology in a new light or discover another fashion to exhibit the ethos of the meme. For example, people have started to find miniature versions of the parent IRL instead of editing the epitome.

Some have also found a way to poke a little fun at the subject area of the picture show they're using. Example in point: identifying Justin Bieber equally Ellen DeGeneres' son. He might not exist physically smaller than the talk show host, but it totally looks like he'due south descended from her lesbian lineage.

In that location are also 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 get it.

There'southward no way to quite predict how the meme might evolve next. What we exercise know is that at that place's plenty of overprotective "parents" out at that place on the Net right at present, keeping their sons safe and sound.
