Jay Jay the Jet Plane is a CGI children's series that originally aired in the late 1990s, best known for its human-faced aircraft living in Tarrytown. while it was designed to be educational for toddlers, the show's animation style eventually became a staple of 'uncanny valley' humor on the internet. Memes featuring Jay Jay often lean into the 'cursed' nature of the character designs, using their rigid facial expressions and staring eyes to represent feelings of existential dread, sleep deprivation, or surrealist irony. Whether used for pure nostalgia-posting or to highlight something deeply unsettling, Jay Jay remains an enduring figure in the world of ironic and creepy meme culture.
