There are a ton of weird, wacky games in this franchise. From talking animals to strangely convoluted machines to incomprehensible situations, you'd think Rhythm Heaven would be a treasure trove of memes. Yet, of all of the minigames in the franchise, it was RINGSIDE of all games that became a mainstream meme even though it's one of the few minigames that could actually happen in real life. The first guy who made a Ringside edit had to have played through 15 other weird minigames before getting to Ringside, with surreal setups including two mysterious creatures jumping on a seesaw to rock music, a watch powered by monkeys, and a dog and a cat playing badminton while flying planes. Then, they got to a relatively mundane game about a reporter interviewing a wrestler and thought, "Damn, this is INSANE! I've gotta make a meme out of this!" Then, thousands of other people went on the internet, saw this guy's edit of Ringside, and thought, "A wrestler in an interview? OMG THIS IS HILARIOUS I'M DYING LAUGHING SOMEBODY GET ME A VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE RIGHT NOW."
I wish I understood how the Internet chooses what to make into a meme, but I'm not complaining. After all, the Ringside trend led to this gem of a video.
What do you guys think will be the next Rhythm Heaven meme?
