Over the following years, the image continued to see use as a reaction image in various situations where one sees others having fun but can't join in themselves. Some variations turned the image into an exploitable by labeling the characters in different ways. For example, on February 25th, 2017, Twitter user @Jcbartlett25[5] labeled the three characters Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo to make a point about Xbox's poorly reviewed games, gaining over 850 retweets and 1,400 likes (shown below, left). On October 27th, 2017, Tumblr user qwp[6] published a post about being jealous of others playing Super Mario Odyssey, gaining over 35,000 notes (shown below, right).
