"Don't Talk To Me Or My Son E'er Again" is a catchphrase associated with images featuring an iconic fictional character and its miniature offspring, the latter of which is produced by modifying the former character in image-editing applications like Photoshop. Originally introduced through a fan-made parody paradigm of the Cowboy Bebop grapheme Spike Spiegel in Nov 2014, the meme has seen a meaning resurgence on Tumblr and Twitter following an influx of derivative "father-and-son" character images in late 2015.

Origin

On November 4th, 2014, Tumblr user Splendidland^[i] posted a picture featuring the grapheme Fasten Spiegel from the anime series Cowboy Bebop with a miniature version of himself, featuring the catchphrase "don't always talk to me or my son ever again." The mail service gained over 6,300 notes in the following twelvemonth. The origin of the quote Don't talk to me or my son ever again is unknown, but it is presumed to have been added by the original Tumblr user for comedic effect.

Spread

For the most part of 2015, the fad remained dormant until August 24th, when Tumblr user konkeydongcountry^{[half dozen]} posted a picture showing a wool plush toy and a smaller amiibo figure of Yoshi that were released to promote Nintendo's side-scrolling platformer video game Yoshi's Woolly World for Wii U, captioned with the catchphrase (shown below, left). In the adjacent half-dozen months, Tumblr user Konkeydongcountry's mail gained over 3,900 notes. On October 30th, Twitter user @theyoshibot^[v] tweeted a photo of a life-size Yoshi costume and a digitally-edited miniature version of the costume, along with the catchphrase (shown below, right), which gained over iii,000 likes and retweets in less than five months.
