New Study Finds Baby Yoda More Popular than Minions with Your Mom and Her Friends on Facebook
Following his reemergence of popularity due to appearing in two episodes of The Book of Boba Fett, Grogu, known colloquially as Baby Yoda, has surpassed Illumination’s Minions as the most popular meme character used by Generation X on Facebook. Baby Yoda withdraw is clearly a thing of the past!
The study conducted by Coruscant Finishing Academy found exuberating proof that people born between 1965 and 1980 have shifted their use of memes utilizing a popular children’s character to convey emotions or situations working adults find themselves exclusively to Baby Yoda. Phrases like, “Me when I haven’t had my coffee” or, “My face when my co-worker doesn’t change the printer toner when it runs out” or, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere” and, “It’s Monday and my boss isn’t here yet so I’m working in my cubical buck-ass nude until they show up” are effortlessly copy and pasted in usually Impact font over screenshots of Baby Yoda.
According to an unnamed graduate of CFA who reportedly serves as majordomo in Mos Espa, Tatooine, the reason for this is due to Gen Xers having nostalgia for cute green creatures from their youth; examples include Kermit the Frog, Gumby, and of course Yoda.
“I love that Baby Yoda,” said Doreen Johns, 42 of Mos Pelgo, Ontario. “He always has the same feelings I do when it’s Friday and I’m ready to go to Happy Hour at Applebee’s with my gals.”
“Them yella fellers ain’t popular with the youngins anymore,” stated Glen Albertson, 57 of Freetown, Georgia. “My grandkids tell me ‘Baby Yoders’ is who they like now so I’m doin’ my best to use him instead.”
In even worse news, while researching for this article our interns have unwittingly found Baby Yoda/Minion fusions in fan art, etsy crafts and more. Beware Google users.
The question now is, will Minions return to popularity with their upcoming film Minions: The Rise of Gru set to release this summer or will Grogu continue his stranglehold on Gen Xers through to the Mandalorian season 3? Only time will tell.
