Ubisoft must be seething at this 1666 Amsterdam game art

The image is official promotional key art for the video game *1666 Amsterdam*. It centers on a hooded female protagonist in a long red cloak, standing in the middle of a cobblestone 17th-century Amsterdam street. A black cat is perched on her shoulder, she holds a weapon in her right hand, and her left hand emits a powerful glowing red magical effect that throws opposing soldiers backward to her right, while civilian onlookers watch from the left side of the street. The text "1666 AMSTERDAM" is displayed prominently at the bottom of the artwork. The paired joke claims that game studio Ubisoft is extremely frustrated by this release, as the game's historical setting, hooded protagonist, and open-world action aesthetic are extremely similar to Ubisoft's signature *Assassin's Creed* franchise.

Origin notes

This meme was shared via a 9Gag RSS feed. The visual asset is unedited official promotional material for the upcoming game 1666 Amsterdam developed by WISDOM SOFTWARE. The joke relies on the widely recognized overlap between the game's announced premise, art style, and core design, and the long-running, massively popular Assassin's Creed franchise owned by Ubisoft, leading to the humorous implication that Ubisoft is upset by the competing title's close resemblance to their flagship IP.

This is a 4-panel pun meme. Panel 1 displays a diagram of a Helium atom with text stating it is a noble gas. Panel 2 shows a stylized angry 18th-century French revolutionary reacting to the word 'noble' with confusion and anger. Panel 3 shows the revolutionary standing next to a guillotine with the Helium atom placed under its blade, shouting the French revolutionary slogan 'Vive la révolution!'. The final panel shows a massive nuclear explosion with a speech bubble containing the French swear word 'merde....' (meaning 'shit'). The core joke relies on double meaning of the word 'noble': 'noble gas' is a standard chemistry classification for inert gaseous elements, while French revolutionaries violently opposed the noble aristocrat class, leading the revolutionary to execute the 'noble' gas, resulting in a catastrophic nuclear blast.

This is a three-panel sequential comic meme that uses escalating crowd reactions to satirize common societal frustrations. 1. First panel: A man in a blue shirt points and shouts "thief!" at a man in green; the adjacent panel shows a small group of people chasing and confronting the accused thief. 2. Second panel: The same blue-shirted man points and shouts "murderer!" at a blonde man; the adjacent panel shows a slightly larger group attacking the accused murderer. 3. Third panel: The man points and shouts "landlord!" at a man in yellow; the final panel depicts a massive, chaotic mob of dozens of people (including individuals on scooters) chasing the accused landlord, showing a far larger, more unified reaction than to the thief or murderer. The joke relies on hyperbole and dark humor: it exaggerates the relatable frustration with landlords (such as high rent, unfair rental practices) as a universal grievance that incites a bigger, more passionate reaction than serious crimes like theft or murder, highlighting how widespread this societal frustration is.

A meme parodying the *The Witcher* series, depicting a white-haired character (likely Geralt of Rivia) standing in front of a rustic thatched-roof cottage. A black horse, resembling Geralt's horse Roach, is humorously positioned atop the cottage's roof. Overlaid text above the horse reads 'It's over Ciri!' and text in front of the character states 'I have the high ground!', a playful reference to the iconic 'high ground' scene from *Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith*. The background features autumn trees with golden foliage and a clear blue sky, typical of *The Witcher*'s rural setting. The watermark 'MemeFast.app' is visible at the bottom-left corner.
