The German and Dutch Me_IRL Invasion refers to a coordinated raid in August 2019 where users from r/ich_iel (German) and r/ik_he_irl (Dutch) flooded the English-speaking subreddit r/me_irl with memes in their native languages. This memetic warfare featured iconic catchphrases like 'Gekoloniseerd' and 'Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn,' effectively drowning out English posts for several days. The event is celebrated as a unique moment of internet solidarity between European communities, highlighting the cultural influence of non-English subreddits. It is commonly used to joke about unexpected takeovers, linguistic superiority, or the surprising power of international meme culture.
