Skirby, often associated with the 'ImSkirby' persona, is a popular internet meme featuring Nintendo's Kirby character with unnervingly realistic human legs or wearing Skechers sneakers. This surreal variation of the pink puffball first gained traction in online art communities and on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit, where users embraced the 'cursed' aesthetic. The meme is typically used to represent a strange sense of confidence, an awkward entrance, or simply to evoke a reaction of humorous discomfort. Its popularity stems from the sharp contrast between Kirby’s cute, round design and the jarring addition of athletic footwear or elongated limbs, making it a staple of modern internet irony.
