The Internet has a way of really ruining your childhood, doesn’t it?
It’s been 20 years since America’s favorite aardvark “Arthur” first aired on TV, and this week, the popular PBS kids’ show was made into a host of memes and became a trending topic on Twitter.
The memes, which involved topics like cheating exes, Black Lives Matter, Hip-Hop references, North Korea, and a ton of other things, came out of nowhere after a Twitter user posted a picture of Arthur’s fist with the caption, “This is just a pic of Arthur’s fist but idk how I feel that it’s just so relatable. So many emotions in one fist.”
From there, Twitter had a field day with the Arthur memes. Some of the tweets even joked at an incestual relationship between Arthur and his younger sister D.W.
Check out the (NSFW) memes below:
It all started with the fist.

Then it got really awkward and incest-like.

While some found the Arthur and DW memes taking it too far, others were quite amused by them, Chrissy Teigen being one of those people.

And of course, somebody had to roast Joe Budden with an Arthur meme.
