The Kingdom Hearts 3 Monsters, Inc. Goofy meme stems from the 2019 action RPG where Goofy and Donald Duck undergo monstrous transformations to blend into Monstropolis. Goofy’s design, featuring a single large eye and a lanky green body, struck fans as particularly unsettling and "cursed." It quickly transitioned from a gaming screenshot to a viral reaction image used to represent creeping dread, awkward social situations, or late-night kitchen raids. The meme thrives on the contrast between Goofy’s traditionally jolly personality and this bizarre, nightmarish aesthetic, making it a staple for ironic and surreal internet humor.
