Never Speak to Me or My Son Again
Published Mar 18, 2016 Updated May 27, 2021, 1:51 am CDT
Parents don't always get memes, but when the two mix, information technology'southward typically comedic gilt. Like when moms began figuring out what "Netflix and Chill" actually meant—or when 2015 became the year of the Dad Joke.
Enter the latest tendency: "Don't talk to me or my son ever once again."
First off, imagine where you'd hear the phrase "don't talk to me or my son always again." Perhaps the speaker's son—let's call him Billy—got caught upwardly 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'due south front door, Baton'south mom or dad is standing at that place with Billy behind them: "Don't talk to me or my son ever again."
According to Know Your Meme, the punchline was originated in a 2014 mail service involving the anime Cowboy Bebop. Tumblr user splendidland uploaded an image of the graphic symbol Spike Spiegel and a snack-size version of Spiegel with the words "don't ever talk to me or my son always again" superimposed in red font. (The character doesn't have a kid in the series, but the idea is that this mini-me is the "son" in this context.)
Splendidland's post did fine on Tumblr, racking up around vi,300 notes. A considerable success, merely not what you would call viral.
Know Your Meme points out that the meme and then laid depression for a while, and so made a comeback with assist from Yoshi. A Tumblr post from konkeydongcountry in August 2015 featured two costly Yoshis, one larger than the other. This time the caption was "don't you Ever talk to me or my son that way again"—tweaked slightly from the Cowboy Bebop post.
Before long after, 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 improve matched the Spiegel post, simply differing by two words. "don't you e'er talk to me or my son once again" adds in the "you" just omits the "ever." All three incarnation accept the same bones message but are linguistically just a smidge removed from ane another.

Since the Yoshi posts, a steady meme-mentum has built. As of Feb 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—but you go the point. The meme typically hinges on a "son" who is but a tinier copy of the parent, usually created through some sort of image editing. Many people have also simply turned themselves into the son. Truthful mini-mes.

Merely, like any good meme that takes over our dashboards and feeds, the idea mutates. Either people interpret it in a new light or find another way to showroom the ethos of the meme. For instance, people have started to find miniature versions of the parent IRL instead of editing the prototype.

Some accept likewise found a way to poke a footling fun at the subject of the picture they're using. Case in point: identifying Justin Bieber as Ellen DeGeneres' son. He might not be physically smaller than the talk bear witness host, just it totally looks like he's descended from her lesbian lineage.

In other versions, the meme is simply escalated to other levels. Similar this son of a son of a son of a son… you get information technology.
