In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Pupa i Lupa” is a common card of the Russian Memes pack, number 181 of the collection, and the 132nd best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Pupa i Lupa” meme mean?
The meme links two goofy names to an art of the absurd diagram. People choose it when an explanation claims to clarify everything but only adds arrows, circles and boxes unrelated to the question. It is a funny way to say: nothing makes sense, and that is exactly the joke. It also teases overloaded slide decks.
Where does the “Pupa i Lupa” meme come from?
The meme belongs to the Runet, the Russian-speaking internet, and dates to 2017. It revolves around two characters with burlesque names, Pupa and Lupa, whom users stage in explanatory diagrams that grow more and more pointless. Each version piles on more arrows and captions without shedding light on the subject, which is the whole fun. The meme’s strength is its open format: anyone can draw their own chart with the same two names. It therefore spread as variations, with a humour that is graphic more than verbal.
How to use the “Pupa i Lupa” meme
- Under a meeting slide full of arrows: “Pupa and Lupa, office edition.”
- To explain bill splitting to a friend with a deliberately unreadable chart.
- Replying to a tutorial that makes the simple complicated.
