NSFW Bowling Animation

NSFW Bowling Animations refers to a series of NSFW and offensive animations that parody stereotypical animations that play at bowling alleys when a player gets a spare or a strike. In April 2022, one particular animation in which a bowling ball ejaculates inside a bowling pin with a strong enough force to send it flying into other pins and knock them down achieved notoriety on social media, with users making memes and jokes referencing it.
