Candlejack (1990)

added May 15, 2009 at 10:34PM UTC

Origin

Originating from the cartoon Freakazoid, the Candlejack meme was sparked on the 4-chan /co/ (the cartoon board) were it gained popularity. Mostly seen in /b/, this meme involves the poster to write Candlejack’s name somewhere in the post and be cut off mid sentence, implying that Candlejack captured him.

Usage

Example:
“Who is Candlejack anywa-”
“All of these Candlejack jokes aren’t fu-”

Related

It shares similarities with Hypnotoad, where the poster usually starts writing something and ends up writing “ALL GLORY THE HYPNOTOAD”.

The Urban Dictionary also gives a pretty good definition.

Another example of Candlejack usage:
