People with Nut Allergies When Thrown a Brick (Dragon Ball Meme)

People with nut allergies when I throw a brick at them
Overview
This is a dark, absurdist humor meme that uses a scene from the Dragon Ball anime series. The image shows the character Goku curled up on a tiled floor in a defensive, pained posture, positioned next to a small brick. The top text caption reads: "People with nut allergies when I throw a brick at them". The joke relies on subverting expectations: instead of depicting a reaction to an actual nut allergen, it replaces the trigger with a brick, implying the person with allergies reacts to the brick as if it were a dangerous allergen. This exaggerates the extreme reactions associated with severe nut allergies to a ridiculous, violent (and entirely fictional) extreme for comedic effect, using a well-known anime character's distressed pose to sell the absurd comparison.
Origin notes
The visual portion of the meme is a screenshot from the Dragon Ball (likely Dragon Ball Z or Dragon Ball Super) anime series, taken from an original scene where Goku is in a defensive, pained position. A user added the top text caption to create the meme, which is a common remix format for anime memes. This type of meme is widely shared on platforms like Reddit, Twitter/X, and Instagram. A partial watermark "studio tv" is visible in the top right corner, likely from the anime's official broadcast or a streaming platform source of the original scene.
