Confusing Meme Referencing Obscure Tamagotchi Fandom Dub Campaign Legend

This is a single panel MS Paint style meme. The top text asks for the number of days since a fan drew crude MS Paint torture art of a main character to pressure studios to release an anime English dub. Three confused stick figures labeled with Tekken, Pac-Man, and Power Rangers logos respond with 'What?', showing they have no reference for this type of fan behavior. A fourth stick figure labeled with the Tamagotchi logo stands to the side with a calm, smug expression, with the number ~3689 (roughly 10 years) listed above it. The joke references an extremely niche internet legend where Tamagotchi fans allegedly participated in this absurd campaign to get an official English dub of the Tamagotchi anime over a decade prior.

It uses a popular 'group confused reaction with one outlier answer' meme format, rendered in simple MS Paint style, to joke about an obscure Tamagotchi fandom urban legend.

A multi-frame meme featuring a scene from the anime 'Naruto' with an overlay text. The top text in each frame reads: 'My 1200+ days of Spanish on Duolingo, when someone ask me something in Spanish:'. The visual shows a member of the Akatsuki organization (character in a black cloak with red cloud patterns) standing on a grassy hill, then jumping and falling off the hill, growing smaller as they descend, and finally a close-up of their distressed face. The humor lies in the relatable contrast between the long duration of studying Spanish on Duolingo (1200+ days) and the inability to respond when actually asked, symbolized by the character's dramatic fall representing panic or failure to apply learned skills.

This is a single-panel satirical meme combining text and an anime screenshot. The top text describes a hypothetical scenario where a person is brutally and fatally defeated by Darth Vader, suffering extreme graphic injuries, but only cares that they landed one trivial hit on Vader's shoulder, so they know fandom communities will excessively overhype their strength. Below the text is a canonical screenshot of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage from the anime *Naruto*, as he appears moments from death, bleeding from the mouth with a pained but faintly satisfied expression. The joke mocks common fandom discourse where minor characters who land a single insignificant hit on an overwhelmingly powerful villain are heavily praised and incorrectly framed as being capable of competing with the villain, despite being clearly outmatched and killed easily.
