About

Bubbles Girl is a basic “insert-into-image” photoshopping meme, similar in form to Disaster Girl, Crasher Squirrel, Mustard Man, and Tourist Guy.

The identities of the girl in the photo and the photographer are currently unknown, as is the site where the image first appeared.

Exploitable

Much of the trend seems to have originated on 4chan, Bubbles Girl, Chubby Bubbles Girl, or sometimes Chubbles, is a simple image macro of a girl running with bubbles, photoshopped over a disaster or chase scene. She is obviously in a rush to get somewhere and is very concerned about what is behind her.

On September 12th, 2009, a Top 10 Buzzfeed user Scott Lamb created the post, “What is Bubbles Girl Running From?”


She’s got her bubbles, but she’s definitely on the run from something. Use our photo editor or grab the image transparency to help us find out! I’d like to see a lot more images of Bubble Girl running. Come on, guys.

By September 23rd, Anonymous was resounding with chants of “NEW MEME NEW MEME NEW MEME” in this “Chubby Bubbles Girl Thread”

The source of the original image(shown below) is not yet known.

Information on this meme is still being compiled.

Memegenerator

An Advice Dog-like Chubby Bubbles Girl Memegenerator was created. Although as of November 30th (two months after any significant activity) there are only 201 instances, leaving the meme in Baby Tier.

A lack of search queries.

As of November 30th, 2009 there is still not enough search queries for “Chubby Bubbles Girl” to return any Google Insights data. There is a tiny amount for “Bubbles Girl” although it came well after this exploitable fad made its rounds on most blogs.

Despite the large number of derivatives generated by 4chan and Buzzfeed, it seems that overall interest in this “Chubby Bubbles Girl” was short-lived. Will we ever find out who Chubby Bubbles Girl is?

It would be a funny image macro, but I can’t find any examples of it anywhere I look. I’ve tried searching for “chubby bubble girl” in all the image sharing websites I can find and no results of the macro anywhere.

Sorry, but it’s still gonna be a deadpool for me.

I noted in discussion it is a very new meme but it is growing fast…should certainly be considered.

It appears as though you are skeptical. I’ll continue expanding the entry, and should this macro continue to grow, and does become certified, I hope you will send me a message acknowledging that my persistence was worthwhile and that I have made a positive contribution to this website.

Good day

Fixed the images in the body — you need to link to the actual .jpg

PROTIP: I made a shortcut that redirects to the real .jpg file if you enter a URL like /photos/1475.jpg

You do realise that if this meme actually picks up, then its popularity will have to be partly contributed to its appearance on this site…and seeing as KYM is a meme archive it will have to archive the fact that one of its first appearances was on KYM…

Is anyone else sensing a Catnarok-style world-ending paradox on the horizon?

Hey Mister Chef, and whoever else created these…would it be alright to upload these elsewhere to spread it around? I’m not trying to make a profit or anything, just love this meme, its hilarious and want to upload it elsewhere so it goes more viral. thanks!

That’s the point of memes. We probably got most of these from Anonymous, so unless someone says otherwise, usually they are free game, and since none of this is art, I say go ahead

Any new news on Chubbles like who she is or what? The meme is young, so it’s still kinda iffy, but then again, I can’t disagree that it has potential. I would love to see this confirmed once more info is added.

+1 Work on it

The identity of the kid in the photo is unknown, and so is the photographer.

Most of the activity behind this fad has passed.

Updated the article and confirmed. It’s too noteworthy to deadpool, but it’s a fairly small meme.
