Yobama is a prominent example of a cursed image that surfaced in the late 2010s, specifically gaining traction on platforms like Reddit and Instagram around 2018. The image features a seamless, yet unsettling, photo manipulation of former U.S. President Barack Obama’s facial features onto the body of the Star Wars character Yoda. It is often associated with the surreal memes subculture and the GameCube intro remix trend on YouTube. The meme is primarily used for shock value, non-sequitur humor, or as a profile picture to signal a specific brand of internet irony. Its enduring popularity stems from the bizarrely perfect blend of two globally recognized figures into one high-resolution nightmare.
