Does that image of something smashing through a door in a manga panel qualify as a meme? Should it have it's own article? And what is it called?

Btw I'm talking about this image: http://cdn1.knowyourmeme.com/i/2328/small/do_what_he_says.jpg?1242521828

I doubt it.
Take a look at this for the lulz: ninxmz.org/images/demotivators/gashunk.jpg

Actually, I'll try to embed it.

It's a common trope but not an Internet Meme.

nevermind. I thought you were talking about images of things crashing through doors in general. That would not be an Internet Meme.

But if there are derivatives of this image, then it might be an Internet Meme.

Macrochan's got 2 sections for it.

It has something to do with something called "Gyo"

Whatever the hell that is.

Actually, I think he's talking about the specific image of something smashing through a door like so:

and so:

It could be an exploitable. What to call it, IDK. Needs moar research before confirmation.

I'd go with calling it Door Bursting Open.

Oh, then just this one.

That's exactly what I meant, Jostin, thank you. The thought just occured to me that maybe that image is a meme because there's quite a few derivations of it (probably misspelled that XD)

Derivatives is the word.

And yes, there are variations of the image and it can be considered a meme if that's so. If you want, you can make the entry and we'll see what we'll see.

Sub-meme under Exploitables, admins.

Exploitables never get old….thats why i love em!

BTW, Anyone know why theres a shark running around a house in that manga? Seems to me pretty strange, even by Japanese standards…

It's also strange that doors go "Gashunk!" when kicked down.
I'll look for more stupid shark stuff.

i'm making an entry for it now, appreciate if you guys can help me find any info on it.

Thats from GYO by Junji Ito!
Lol, I hardly own any manga but I recognised that immediately.
The guys a great manga horror author! I'd definately recommend his stuff if you're into that kind of thing, GYO, Uzumaki, Tomi, Flesh Coloured Horror – all very bizarre and quite ingeniously twisted :)

You'll find what you need here: http://junjiito.trilete.net/

I found a F40PH version, I'd embed it but I can't access ED right now.
