About

Advice Dog is a series of popular image macros that first surfaced on 4chan’s /b/ in 2006. A typical example of Advice Dog depicts a cute puppy’s face against the background of a color wheel, often accompanied by unrelated advices and ridiculous instructions (ex: Do the laundry / Rob a bank). Since its debut, the series has spawned off several spin-offs, most notably the Philosoraptor, Courage Wolf and Socially Awkward Penguin.

Origins

Encyclopedia Dramatica claims that the original image of puppy+rainbow was first posted in a Mario fansite forum thread in September 2006 by a user named “TEM”. It also claims that the real pet name of Advice Dog is Boba Fett, a Star Wars character portrayed as a bounty hunter hired by Darth Vader. The sources of these claims however remain unverified.

Sub-meme Entries / Spin-offs

Based on the popularity of Advice Dog series, pairing bluntly offensive statements or careless advices with animal icons have grown into a distinct genre within the world of image macros. This section features a list of KYM entries on “Advice Dog” variations and spin-offs:

It’s almost like the variations are part of the meme itself. I’ve got a whole bunch of undocumented variations floating somewhere in my /a/ and /b/ folder…
