Whenever a significant event in the world of video gaming occurs, such as the Nintendo Switch trailer, the internet will react in many different ways. And odds are, one of those ways will be to find something to turn into a meme. Sure enough, the Nintendo Switch trailer has given birth to a new meme. Remember the woman who brought her Nintendo Switch to a rooftop party in the trailer? Although she officially has no name, the internet has dubbed her “Karen”. Polygon looked into the meme and how it began, discovering that “Karen” not only works as a funny meme, but it’s also one that a lot of Nintendo gamers relate to. Still, the popularity of meme has grown so much that there’s even a Reddit community dedicated to it. And it’s just one of many reactions to come from Nintendo’s Switch reveal trailer.

Okay.
BUT WHAT ABOUT KAREN?
I have a feeling it’s going to be Nikki from Swapnote all over again.
Lol, the long ass woit for the NX reveal has made reddit users lose their minds.
We have not!
Alright, the “Imagine what the NX will smell like when first opened” and “Guys, I had a wet dream about the NX last night” were a BIT too much, but…
lol
IMAO
Polygon asks the hard hitting questions, huh?

You accidentally left your caps lock on
He does that. He’s “special.”
This makes no sense. XD
What’s going on?
Wait… Who on Earth relates to this person that is also a gamer? No one.
this is not a meme i am a meme connoisseur and i can confirm this does not even reach forced-meme levels of memery
Oh really? Why
Sarcasm.

Oh
Lol I saw the Karen meme start/blow up. It’s kinda funny cause everyone who wants one of these is likely gonna be Karen and not realize it.
Well I’ll be damned. What about the guy in the living who plays breath of the wild on the switch?
Could “Karen” become the official spokesperson of Nintendo since Kevin Butler?
This feels like a repeat of the South Park Brittany Spears witch hunt episode.
They did it. They actually did it. Karen got a think piece.
I’m the memest memer,, yet I haven’t seen this meme.
Then you aren’t the memest memer.
Why is this a thing? XD
I could not “Karen” less about her. But did you guys notice how tiny the detached controls are? Look at that picture and find out how their small hands swallow the joycons. :o
About as forced a meme as that frog on a unicycle.
Excuse you, his name is Dat Boi. And he’s the spiciest meme ever.
I checked the internet. This meme doesn’t exist.
I think she’s cute in her own way. Other than that, I have no idea what the big deal is. She had like ten seconds of screen time. And aside from this article and like one other mention, I personally haven’t seen any memes of her. But supposedly they are out there. And I just don’t know why. I didn’t see anything meme worthy in her ten seconds of footage.
Ah the “internet” , such a stupid place sometimes 😌
Polygon is so shit. Let’s not forget their disastrous Doom demo and MK8 sales predictions. Probably THE worst gaming journalists in the industry.
Let’s not forget the moment Polygon had given Nintendo and ATLUS’ Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE a 9.5 out of 10!!!
9.5…? That’s not possible!!!!
I mean I understand the art, she’s pretty cute, simple clothes and haircut. Her following is about as spontaneous as Ms. Breasts of the Wild from E3, Nikki from Swapnote, or Mary O from Mario Maker were when they had massive spotlights shone on them by fans after their own debuts.
Not really a meme though.
I’m a certified spicy meme maker. I know my memes and she’s more of a waifu than a meme.
“Antisocial Karen always brings her Nintendo Switch to the party.”

||Who is this human female?…||
She’s Karen, duh
She’s a nobody. Polygon is just having one of those “slow news days” again.
Was a funny thing when it started on Reddit, but it became too forced. And no one like forced memes.
Ladies and gentlemen… The Karen Song!!!!

I know there are some very retarded memes out there but this one takes the cake. What’s so meme worthy about her? Hey! Let’s make a meme of every single fucking person that popped up in that Switch trailer no matter how insignificant that person was!
