In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Smile HD” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22744 of the collection, and the 91st best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Smile HD” meme mean?

This meme expresses the absurd contrast between the apparent innocence of a youth franchise and extreme graphic violence. It serves to shock or surprise through this total disconnect. The dominant emotion is unease mixed with dark humor, without deep symbolic meaning.

Where does the “Smile HD” meme come from?

The Smile HD animation was uploaded by MisterDavie (also known as Dave Davey) on YouTube on August 24, 2013. The creator uses a remix of 'The Smile Song', performed by Pinkie Pie in the episode 'A Friend in Deed' aired on February 18, 2012. The video shows Pinkie Pie killing or mutilating her friends with bloody images. At the end, her smile turns sad before Fluttershy attacks her back. Originally published on YouTube, the video was removed after a report by Hasbro for copyright infringement and violent content. A copy has since been preserved on Internet Archive, confirming the date of August 24, 2013 as the official reference.
