Since early January, animated GIFs featuring this crudely-drawn anthropomorphic phallus have seen a resurgence on the sites Reddit and Imgur.

The decade-old website once known for that one notorious shock image the world could not unsee has entered a new chapter in its illustrious life with the latest announcement of its joining the Dogecoin bandwagon.

The original Flappy Bird may have been taken down, but numerous clever parodies have sprung up to replace it, including several Internet-friendly characters like Doge, Nicolas Cage and a very brave fedora.

Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen has removed the popular mobile game from both the Google Play and iOS app stores after tweeting that its success "ruins my simple life."

While American figure skater Ashley Wagner's Olympic debut performance may have failed to win the favor of the judges, her candid reaction to the disappointing score instantly became a hit reaction GIF back home.
