Pot Boy, officially known as Iron Fist Alexander (the Living Jar), became an instant breakout star after appearing in the Elden Ring reveal trailer and subsequent gameplay previews. Fans were immediately drawn to the character's unique design—a sentient ceramic jar with muscular arms—and his jolly, determined personality. The meme typically revolves around the 'Pot Friend' being stuck in the ground, requiring the player to hit him from behind to free him, leading to various double entendres or wholesome best-friend scenarios. As a symbol of resilience and camaraderie in the bleak Lands Between, Pot Boy represents the supportive side of the gaming community, often used to depict situations where someone needs a friendly nudge or a heroic companion to overcome life's obstacles.
