Fat Yoshi, also affectionately known as 'Beeg Yoshi,' refers to a rotund, low-resolution sprite of Yoshi from the 1995 game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. While the image existed as a niche Nintendo asset for years, it skyrocketed to internet stardom in 2017 after appearing in a VideoGameDunkey YouTube video about the Nintendo eShop. The humor stems from Yoshi's unusually wide proportions and blank expression, often paired with the phrase 'He's just sittin' there.' It is widely used to represent laziness, an overwhelming presence, or simply as a surreal piece of modern internet shitposting culture.
