The NSFW Bowling Animation meme refers to a series of parody shock videos that mimic the surreal 3D graphics commonly seen at bowling alleys in the late 90s and early 2000s. While the original animations were known for being bizarre and low-budget, this trend subverted the nostalgia by adding highly explicit and 'cursed' content involving the bowling equipment. Gaining massive traction on Twitter and Reddit in 2022, the meme became a staple of shock humor and reaction culture. It is primarily used to represent extreme reactions to minor achievements or to catch unsuspecting viewers off guard with its unexpected and controversial imagery.
