The Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game meme template draws from the vibrant, 8-bit pixel art style of the cult-classic beat-'em-up released by Ubisoft. Inspired by Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novels, the game’s aesthetic and title screens became a staple for internet humor, specifically through the 'Scott Pilgrim vs. My Problems' format. Fans use the high-energy visuals to depict everyday life as a boss battle, replacing 'The World' with various stressors or hilarious antagonists. Its popularity spiked during the game's long delisting period and subsequent re-release, making it a symbol of gaming nostalgia and relatable conflict.
