Where does the “Furious Canarinho” meme come from?
Canarinho has been the Brazilian national team's mascot since the 1960s, created from illustrations by cartoonist Ziraldo. The CBF unveiled a new version of the character, with a stern, irritated expression, before a match against Bolivia; sources disagree on the date: Museu de Memes places the launch in October 2017, while the Portuguese-language Wikipedia and the site Repórter em Ação date the debut to October 6, 2016. Fans' reaction online was to nickname the character “Canarinho Pistola”, using Brazilian slang for someone tense or on edge. The meme produced dedicated Twitter accounts that paired the angry mascot's image with all-caps captions expressing impatience with Brazilian football results, and it peaked in popularity in June 2018, during the World Cup in Russia.
