The 'Over 9000 Hours in MS Paint' meme is a satirical trope used to describe images that are either exceptionally crude or surprisingly intricate, jokingly attributing the work to thousands of hours of labor in Microsoft's basic graphics program. It draws its numerical inspiration from the famous 'It’s Over 9000!' line from Dragon Ball Z, merging two distinct internet cultures. Users typically post a drawing—ranging from a stick figure to a pixel-perfect portrait—with the claim of extreme dedication to highlight the absurdity of the medium or to mock high-effort digital art. It remains a staple for artists poking fun at their own process or for internet trolls showcasing intentionally bad drawings.
