The 'Release the Bogus' meme is a surrealist take on the dramatic 'Release the Kraken' catchphrase, often featuring the odd, yellow character Mr. Bogus from the early 90s animated series. In the modern meme landscape, 'Bogus' has evolved into a symbol of pure, unadulterated chaos or niche internet weirdness. It is frequently used in shitposting circles to signal the moment someone decides to act out in an unpredictable or nonsensical way. Whether used to describe a messy room or a strange social interaction, the meme captures the hilarity of summoning something inherently 'bogus' into the real world.
