A meme format is currently flooding the subreddit of World of Warcraft. The best manifestations of this are so funny that we can’t keep them from you.
Anyone who regularly visits Reddit knows that not only lively discussions take place there, but also plenty of memes are part of everyday life. Some meme formats quickly run out of steam and are no longer funny after the second or third image.
This time it’s different. For nearly 3 days, the users of the WoW subreddit have been posting one image after another and continually receiving numerous upvotes. We want to briefly present the best images here.
What are the memes about? The idea behind the memes is to take the titles of individual WoW expansions and cross out some letters. This results in a new name for the expansion, which is illustrated with a corresponding image.
From “World of Warcraft: Cataclsym” the community makes it “World of Warcraft: Cat”.

From Mists of Pandaria, it quickly becomes “Pan” – as in the pan. It’s somewhat descriptive of the Pandaren and their cooking skills.

As usual, there are also some dark variants of the meme. From Wrath of the Lich King, it simply becomes “World War II” – as in the Second World War.

Star Wars references must not be missing either. From “The Burning Crusade”, it becomes “The Burning Sad” – which translates to something like “the Burning Sad One”. And who fits better than Anakin Skywalker?

American patriotism is also included. So, from “The Burning Crusade” it simply becomes “USA”. Of course, with burgers and guns.

The fans also let a bit of criticism flow into their memes. For instance, in World of Warcraft: RNG.

Last but not least, the game director also gets poked fun at. From the popular expansion “Legion”, it simply becomes “ION” – the first name of game director Ion Hazzikostas.

What do you think of this meme format and its current manifestations? Clearly funny and creative? Or rather silly and regrettable that it is currently clogging up the subreddit?
