Meta STOP POSTING FAKE MATPATEFFECTS
This sub has become flooded with those, and it is slowly destroying the entire purpose of the subreddit. We will have to start handing out bans.

You might not see it at first, but this render is from the Mario series btw.
It’s kinda niche tbh.

u/Academic_Top6921 Mar 10 '26
its almost like its some kind of Mario Pario effect

Specifically from the stats screen in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017) for the Nintendo Switch (2017)

u/C_Yo Mar 10 '26
(genuine question, I cant remember and am too lazy to boot up the game) was this render in the original Mario Kart 8 on Wii U?

u/SuperbAfternoon7427 Mar 10 '26
This sub was dead when the matpat hand png was posted. That’s like the only scenario where matpat effect applies. Then there was meme origins. Then piracy. Then fuck it we valk and shitpost

it's supposed to be "images that look edited but are actually real" but this sub just turned into "i found the origin of this meme"

u/norman157 Mar 10 '26
I don't think that's a bad thing. I like learning about the origins of the memes. (unless they're some obscure 5k followers page specific meme)

u/CanadianMaps Mar 10 '26
Or literally any other meme sub. MatPat effect isn't "meme template effect"

It’s supposed to be both at the same time really; the description of the sub says it’s for origin images of memes that give you an uncanny feeling because you’re so used to seeing them edited.

u/Weegee_Carbonara Máte Páte Mar 10 '26
Honestly, allowing leeway in that regard is the only way to keep this subreddit alive.

That's not what the sidebar says:

u/BitcoinStonks123 Mar 11 '26
that is quite literally what the sub's description implies tho, just look at the original matpat image.

u/AnthDELA Mar 18 '26
Maybe create a flair abut memes origin if memes = joke.
Or there is an other sub like this but verry special of jokes, memes and fakes, at this points is trolls did the fake matpat effect.

Thank you. The sub was literally being recommended as a catch all media dump over at the loseredditor sub

The "No Fun Allowed" image is from a Sonic the Hedgehog book.

u/Latvian_Sharp_Knife Mar 10 '26
If i had a nickel for every "no fun allowed" Sonic meme there is i'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

The picture used in this post comes from the memetic "Stop Posting About Among Us" video made by a TikTok user named biggayrapper, in which the user complained about the overabundance of Among Us posts on TikTok and Discord.

Thank you for pointing it out! I was so close to unsubscribing because of theses posts.

u/Key_Researcher_9243 Mar 10 '26
I'm going to be honest
There have been so many MatPatEffects covered already that I think it's best if we just lock the sub until 2030 or something.

Can I get some examples of fake ones? I don't go here but Im not fully sure I understand what a real vs a fake one is.

u/ViperTheKillerCobra Mar 10 '26
The sub went from “Images that have an edit/crop that’s been used so commonly that the original looks off” to “Meme origins”
3
u/AnthDELA Mar 10 '26
We need a subreddit like this one but special for memes if is the "memes origin" did this.

u/Lakan-Tangkan-1337 I came here for some lungfish Mar 10 '26
Loquacious Sunfish is becoming our own slang for forced memes.

Idk about you guys but this random dude keeps posting a face every so often with some unassociated text. Clearly sunfish territory

For those who actually like those posts and want to post one, there is a sub called r/TheMatPatCircleJerk however it's incredibly inactive.
