In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “A King Cobra” is a common card of the Anime Memes pack, number 63 of the collection, and the 1st best-known meme of its 66 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “A King Cobra” meme mean?
The meme refers to a prank in which an imaginary danger seems real. It can describe someone falling for a setup or a joke that prompts an over-the-top reaction. Its central contrast is between the harmless snake and the threat Urumi leads Onizuka to believe in. It can also suggest a practical joke that leaves its target embarrassed.
Where does the “A King Cobra” meme come from?
The scene comes from the anime *Great Teacher Onizuka*, often shortened to GTO. Student Urumi Kanzaki sets up a trick for her teacher, Eikichi Onizuka, making him believe that a harmless snake is a king cobra. The prop is made using paper or makeup. Onizuka takes the supposed threat seriously, and the snake then bites him. Urumi delivers the line “Oh, cute. A King Cobra.” Available information does not identify the episode, the date or platform where the meme first circulated, or the account that started it online. Its precise online origin is therefore unknown.
