How Crows and Ravens Start Tweaking After Being Fed
Dialogue
Overview
This is a single-panel static meme using a screenshot from the 1995 animated film Toy Story, featuring characters Woody and Buzz Lightyear. The top text uses the popular 'Nobody:' meme format, which indicates the described behavior occurs completely unprompted, followed by 'Crows and Ravens...' to introduce the subject of the joke. Buzz Lightyear is shown speaking enthusiastically while gesturing with one hand, while Woody stands beside him looking concerned and confused. The bottom text is presented as Buzz's dialogue: 'Son, see that guy who fed us yesterday? Tell your sons and their sons to watch over him.' The joke references the well-documented real-world behavior of corvids (crows and ravens), which have extremely high intelligence, long generational memory, and will pass down information about friendly or hostile humans to their offspring, leading them to recognize, look after, and even bring gifts to people who have fed or helped them in the past.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced via RSS from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, with the original submitted title 'How they starts tweaking'. It is a custom edit of the widely circulated 'Buzz Lightyear explaining to Woody' meme template, which originates from a scene in the first Toy Story film. This template is commonly used online to depict one character enthusiastically explaining a niche, unexpected, or oddly intense behavior while the other character reacts with confusion or discomfort. The joke draws on widely shared viral facts about crow and raven intelligence and intergenerational memory that have been popular online for several years.
