The 'Mio Honda Fried Chicken' meme is a derivative of the 'Mio Honda Step!' animation, which features the character Mio Honda from The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls performing her signature solo dance. The meme reached legendary status when the internet began pairing her cheerful, high-energy routine with absurdist audio, specifically the 'Fried Chicken' remix or the KFC 'I'm in the drive-thru' soundbite. It is frequently used as a bait-and-switch video or a high-velocity shitpost on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. The comedic value comes from the jarring contrast between Mio's bright idol persona and the chaotic, often bass-boosted audio tracks that fans overlay onto her rhythmic steps.
