Kirb refers to a specific, highly distorted 3D model of Nintendo’s Kirby, characterized by its squashed height and widened body, resulting in a hilariously cursed appearance. While Kirby is usually seen as a cute and round hero, the Kirb variation strips away the polish, leaving a low-poly version that has become a staple of surreal internet humor. The meme gained significant traction through fan-made animations and 'shitposts' on platforms like YouTube and Tumblr, often accompanied by the word 'Poyo' or eerie, slowed-down music. Today, Kirb is used to represent feelings of existential dread, intense focus, or simply to add a touch of weirdness to a conversation.
