Dragon Ball Backyardigans meme

Post by Cure Dragon 255 » Thu Nov 03, 2016 1:00 am

I've seen a pic being circulated that compares some characters and Beerus to the Backyardigans. Its a pretty funny pic, but I want to know if this pic is really from the show and if the characters do exist in it. I doubt its really from the show but I want to be certain.

I haven't watched the series, but the characters seem to be real according to Google Image Search. If you're referring to the mock-up Dragon Ball fan creations, those are probably unique to the photograph unless someone is willing to share who penned it.

Those are the Backyardigans alright, but those Dragon Ball characters are just parodies. I guess someone thought Beerus looked like Austin and drew the rest of the cast as a joke.

Yes, just a joke. I remember Dragon Ball Super was about to debut and this came. People were assuming it was real mainly because this Mew2king's tweet:

Don't know if he wanted to do some hoax or he was just uninformed, but his words made a lot of people believe they were real back there, adding that "if it's on the internet, then it's true"
