Why the Evil Kermit is making headlines

Evil Kermit knows your true self and isn’t afraid to tap into it in order to send you spiraling down a self-destructive hole when all you wanted to do was be cool, calm and collected.

Evil who?
Evil Kermit. Just like Kermit the Frog.

So Kermit the Frog has turned evil?
No, our beloved muppet can never turn evil. #EvilKermit is a meme taking social media by storm.

I don’t get it.
Remember Constantine from 2014’s Muppets Most Wanted?

The one with the doppelganger?
Exactly. The one where good Kermit faces his evil twin Constantine. Constantine wears a dark cloak covering his eyes, just in case it wasn’t abundantly clear that he is not a good dude.

So what’s with evil constantine?
Now, imagine you are Kermit and Constantine.

What now?
That’s how the meme works. #EvilKermit involves a screenshot from the Muppets Most Wanted exchange between the two Kermits. Now imagine you’re having an introspective conversation with yourself, grappling with the choice between what is right and what is easy. Evil Kermit wants you to give into what is easy. To do what makes you feel good in the moment but probably isn’t actually good for you.

That’s pure evil!
Evil Kermit knows your true self and isn’t afraid to tap into it in order to send you spiraling down a selfdestructive hole when all you wanted to do was be cool, calm and collected.

What about the memes?
Check this out: Me (Kermit): It’s time for work. Get up.Inner me (Evil Kermit): Hit that snooze. You got 5 more minutes. Or this: Me: I just finished my workout. It’s time to eat something healthy. Evil Kermit: Eat a whole pizza. You earned it!

Evil Kermit is so me!
Evil Kermit is all of us. Just like we sometimes want to indulge in mindless splurging, turn opinions into podcasts, and kick ice under the fridge — making our dark side cackle.
