The 'Slapping Cheese On Pokémon Fire Starters' meme is a chaotic subgenre of the broader 'Cheese Slap' trend, where people throw slices of processed cheese onto unsuspecting subjects. In this specific variation, fans use digital editing or physical plushies of Fire-type Pokémon like Charmander, Cyndaquil, or Torchic to humorously 'extinguish' their fire with a square of American cheese. The meme relies on the absurdity of the action and the blank expressions of the Pokémon characters. It gained traction on platforms like TikTok and Twitter, where users found the visual of a 'flaming' creature being muffled by dairy to be hilariously nonsensical, often symbolizing life’s inconveniences or sudden interruptions to one's peace.
