The 'Animal Crossing New Horizons Shut the Fuck Up' meme gained massive traction shortly after the game's release in 2020. It features iconic villagers like Raymond or the player character using a fan-edited text box to deliver a blunt, aggressive directive. While the visuals are from Nintendo's 2020 title, the audio often samples George Miller (Joji) from 'The Filthy Frank Show' (2014) yelling the titular phrase. This meme creates a hilarious contrast between the cozy, wholesome 'cottagecore' atmosphere of the game and the extreme hostility of the dialogue. It is commonly used to dismiss 'bad takes,' end heated online arguments, or react to annoying viral trends with ironic cuteness. This clip represents a collective sense of social burnout and a humorous lack of patience for nonsense. Example captions include: 'Me when the YouTube ad is unskippable,' 'When someone starts explaining their 40-minute lore theory,' or 'The group chat when that one person starts complaining again.'
