Dont You Even Talk to Me or My Son Again
Published Mar 18, 2016 Updated May 27, 2021, 1:51 am CDT
Parents don't always get memes, only when the two mix, it's typically comedic gold. Like when moms began figuring out what "Netflix and Chill" really meant—or when 2015 became the yr of the Dad Joke.
Enter the latest trend: "Don't talk to me or my son e'er once more."
Showtime off, imagine where you'd hear the phrase "don't talk to me or my son ever once again." Perhaps the speaker's son—let'south phone call him Baton—got caught upwards with the neighborhood troublemaker and was busted smoking cigarettes in the Target parking lot or drawing penises on a classroom door. When the mischief-maker knocks on Baton'south front door, Billy's mom or dad is standing there with Billy behind them: "Don't talk to me or my son e'er again."
According 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 character Spike Spiegel and a snack-size version of Spiegel with the words "don't e'er talk to me or my son ever again" superimposed in red font. (The character doesn't take a kid in the serial, but the idea is that this mini-me is the "son" in this context.)
Splendidland'southward postal service did fine on Tumblr, racking upward around six,300 notes. A considerable success, but not what you would phone call viral.
Know Your Meme points out that the meme then laid depression for a while, then made a improvement with help from Yoshi. A Tumblr mail service from konkeydongcountry in August 2015 featured 2 plush Yoshis, 1 larger than the other. This fourth dimension the caption was "don't you EVER talk to me or my son that way once again"—tweaked slightly from the Cowboy Bebop post.
Soon later, 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, only differing by two words. "don't you ever talk to me or my son once more" adds in the "y'all" merely omits the "always." All 3 incarnation accept the aforementioned bones message simply are linguistically simply a smidge removed from one another.

Since the Yoshi posts, a steady meme-mentum has built. Equally 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 get the point. The meme typically hinges on a "son" who is only a tinier copy of the parent, usually created through some sort of paradigm editing. Many people accept likewise simply turned themselves into the son. True mini-mes.

But, similar any expert meme that takes over our dashboards and feeds, the thought mutates. Either people translate it in a new light or notice another way to exhibit the ethos of the meme. For case, people have started to find miniature versions of the parent IRL instead of editing the image.

Some accept as well found a mode to poke a petty fun at the subject of the picture they're using. Example in point: identifying Justin Bieber equally Ellen DeGeneres' son. He might not exist physically smaller than the talk evidence host, but it totally looks like he's descended from her lesbian lineage.

In other versions, the meme is just escalated to other levels. Like this son of a son of a son of a son… you lot get it.

There'south no style to quite predict how the meme might evolve next. What we do know is that there's plenty of overprotective "parents" out there on the Net right now, keeping their sons safe and sound.
