People have been cutting the picture into others, creating an odd sort of collage meme. #9- You know I had to do it to ‘em The legendary dudebro, the boy with his arm crossed, standing on the sidewalk.

Since then, it has been a common joke that the Babadook is actually a gay icon and has inspired multiple artistic adaptations of a gay Babadook and, of course, memes. #7- Crash Bandicoot’s Woah One of the internet’s favorite things will always be funny audio, which Is exactly what this one is. A youtube streamer had dubbed the simple phrase “woah” over the popular video game character Crash Bandicoot.
