Just as the popularity of Harry Potter grew out of the control of J. K. Rowling and lead to parodies such as PPP, PPP’s own popularity has grown out of the control of Neil Cicierega, leading to a wide variety of knock-offs. Whether they serve to satirize the series,pay tribute to it, or add their own additional commentary, these videos together have transformed PPP from a series to meme.
