Remember the ‘distracted boyfriend’ and the ‘American chopper’ memes that have been floating around the interwebs for as long as you can remember? Well, it might just be time to move on from them!

If you’ve been on Twitter recently, you can’t have missed the Yutaro Katori meme where the anime character mistakes a butterfly for a pigeon.
