The 'These Companies Test On Animals' meme is a satirical take on genuine PETA-style infographics that list brands engaged in animal testing. The humor arises from taking a serious, legitimate-looking layout and inserting a completely absurd or fictional entity—such as the Galactic Empire, a niche video game studio, or a fast-food chain—into the list of offenders. Originating as a way to subvert the 'slacktivism' found on social media, the template gained massive traction on Reddit and Twitter. It serves as a perfect vehicle for surreal humor, allowing creators to frame harmless entities as corporate villains in a jarringly serious format.
