Pika-Karen
Moving on to a different cartoon character we have another clever crossover meme. Pikachu is a cute little sidekick for Pokemon hero Ash, who is often surprised by the behavior of other Pokemon. Pop a choppy blonde haircut on top of Pikachu’s little yellow head and you get a perfect little Karen.
When a Karen encounters some less-than-perfect service, her first reaction is always to complain, and, as we’ve seen, ask to see the manager. The problem comes when the Karen discovers the cashier is the manager. There’s no higher authority to appeal to, no second opinion to get. Nothing is harder for a Karen to deal with.
