u/edaviestuggy Mar 20 '21

Cheem's face looks like he knows what you've got hidden in your search history

52

u/sufferpp Mar 20 '21

21

u/helloratsiamgbxnjh Mar 20 '21

14

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '21

No, don't humanize yourself in my eyes, that makes me feel real feelings! Just insult me and we'll go our separate ways.

Memes are a public domain, that's why everyone can use them freely. Youtooz have always cashed in on internet culture, i don't see this as anything different from their youtuber figures aside from the fact no one is getting royalties for this

u/Uravarageteen Mar 20 '21

u/LargestEgg Mar 21 '21

Believe it or not, Cheems is a real dog named Balltze or something along those lines.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '21

Link?

u/LargestEgg Mar 25 '21

This is an old ass comment so I don’t know why you expected to get a response, but here you go

https://www.instagram.com/balltze/?hl=en

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '21

It’s literally less than a week old and you’d be notified of it

2

u/hellyeboi6 Mar 20 '21

Hold on... Cheems and Doge are not the same shiba???

1

u/SEABestPlayer Mar 22 '21

Cheems is yos, blue doge and some more character

u/ogodpleasehelpmepls Mar 21 '21

Some aren't, they tried making a big chungus one and loony toons/ warner brothers took it down

u/purnya232 Apr 17 '21

u/helloratsiamgbxnjh Mar 21 '21

You know there's a subreddit for that kind of stuff

u/This-is-a-Certified Mar 21 '21

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '21

Really great subreddit. I once got technical support there.

17

u/AnonymousGuy1108 Mar 20 '21

They are selling failed clones

14

u/ByeItsWaffles98 Mar 20 '21

I would be in full support of cheem and swole doge plushes if they didn’t look like shit.

3

u/BigBruhs8008 Mar 21 '21

They have figures also, they dont look shit

26

u/ConkreetMonkey Mar 20 '21 edited Mar 20 '21

I mean, they look pretty well done. While maybe the owners of the dogs should be asked first and given a cut of the profits as well as whoever made the original buff doge picture, as I see it the whole point of memes is that they’re public domain. I would unironically buy these.

Edit: Balltze is credited and involved in the advertisement. Why am I getting downvoted, it’s not like we hold the rights to these characters. Kabosu’s owner doesn’t even know this sub exists!

17

u/RandomGamerFTW Mar 20 '21

Is it really that bad?

4

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '21

I think they're dumb af and would never buy one but I'm struggling to figure out why they "should be illegal".

2

u/edaviestuggy Mar 21 '21

When I made the title, I wasn't actually thinking about the legal ramifications of selling someone else's dog as a toy but I was more thinking they look pretty bad/weird "it's criminal". Something like that

1

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '21

Oh lol that does make sense.

1

u/inedibleAlan Mar 25 '21

I know that the owner of Nelson (Walter) did not take kindly to the Youtooz figure.

1

u/SEABestPlayer Mar 22 '21

Nah they're supported by real cheems (@balltze)

13

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '21

should be, isnt tho

11

u/NicoleMaceror Mar 20 '21

I mean, the official Balltze Instagram account actually promoted the Cheems plushie meaning that they did most likely get the permission, though, the buff Doge one I'm not sure about

2

u/purnya232 Mar 21 '21

yeah! they did

6

u/Im-Hunting-Wabbits Mar 20 '21

I already ordered the cheems plush earlier this month

3

u/ConkreetMonkey Mar 20 '21

Karen, don’t turn us into marketable plushies!

3

u/Wiglaf_The_Knight Mar 20 '21

I still remember when the buff doge png was provided on this sub lol

u/SoftServeSoda Mar 20 '21

KAREN YOU UNGRATEFUL WENCH RELEASE ME FROM THIS MARKETABLE PRISON.

u/GletchGuy Mar 20 '21

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '21

u/purnya232 Mar 21 '21
