The 'Oy, Mista! You Me Dad?' meme features an unsettling, wide-eyed bootleg plush toy that bears a striking resemblance to a distorted Sackboy from the LittleBigPlanet franchise. The caption is written in a forced Cockney British dialect, evoking the image of a Victorian street urchin aggressively seeking a parental figure. The meme first gained viral status on platforms like Tumblr and X (formerly Twitter) within 'cursed image' communities. It is primarily used as a reaction image to portray awkward social desperation, unwanted attention, or simply to lean into the surreal and creepy aesthetic of the doll's blank, soul-piercing stare.
