Parents don't always get memes, but when the two mix, information technology's typically comedic gold. Similar when moms began figuring out what "Netflix and Chill" actually meant—or when 2015 became the yr of the Dad Joke.

Enter the latest trend: "Don't talk to me or my son ever over again."

First off, imagine where y'all'd hear the phrase "don't talk to me or my son ever again." Perhaps the speaker's son—allow's call him Baton—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 Baton'southward forepart door, Billy's mom or dad is continuing there with Baton 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 image of the grapheme Fasten Spiegel and a snack-size version of Spiegel with the words "don't e'er talk to me or my son ever over again" superimposed in red font. (The character doesn't have a child in the series, but the thought is that this mini-me is the "son" in this context.)

Splendidland's postal service did fine on Tumblr, racking upwards around 6,300 notes. A considerable success, only non what you lot would call viral.

Know Your Meme points out that the meme then laid depression for a while, then made a comeback with assist from Yoshi. A Tumblr post from konkeydongcountry in August 2015 featured ii plush Yoshis, one larger than the other. This fourth dimension the caption was "don't you lot EVER talk to me or my son that way once more"—tweaked slightly from the Cowboy Bebop mail service.

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, merely differing by ii words. "don't you always talk to me or my son again" adds in the "y'all" but omits the "e'er." All three incarnation accept the same bones message but are linguistically but a smidge removed from ane another.

Since the Yoshi posts, a steady meme-mentum has built. As of February and March 2016, the meme has exploded in popularity all over Tumblr And Twitter, even making it to the elusive meme groups of Facebook.

The phase always seems to vary—only you lot get the point. The meme typically hinges on a "son" who is simply a tinier copy of the parent, usually created through some sort of image editing. Many people have also but turned themselves into the son. True mini-mes.

But, like any skillful meme that takes over our dashboards and feeds, the idea mutates. Either people translate information technology in a new light or find another manner 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 too found a way to poke a piffling fun at the subject of the moving picture they're using. Instance in indicate: identifying Justin Bieber equally Ellen DeGeneres' son. He might non be physically smaller than the talk show host, only it totally looks like he'due south descended from her lesbian lineage.

Another pop play on the meme features none other than Bernie Sanders and a pint-sized supporter so dedicated that he might every bit well exist the presidential candidate's son: Danny DeVito.

At that place are also riffs where the bite-sized sons and their parent are deliciously hilarious.

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

At that place's no mode to quite predict how the meme might evolve next. What nosotros do know is that there's enough of overprotective "parents" out there on the Internet right now, keeping their sons safe and sound.
