Boku no Pico is a notorious 2006 OVA series that has become one of the most enduring 'trap' memes in the anime community. Rather than being discussed for its actual content, it is primarily used as a bait-and-switch prank where veteran fans recommend it to unsuspecting newcomers as a 'must-watch' or 'wholesome romance' series to witness their shocked reactions. The meme gained massive traction on platforms like 4chan and YouTube during the late 2000s, solidifying its place as a rite of passage for internet users venturing into the world of anime. Today, the Boku no Pico template serves as a symbol of internet irony and the classic 'don't search this' warning that defines early otaku culture.
