The Hysterical “Draw 25” Uno Meme is Taking the Internet by Storm

The Internet’s latest viral meme is here to remind us what it’s like to be stuck between a rock and a hard place, and it’s using the beloved card game Uno to get its point across.

The original viral meme features adapted Wild Card that asks the player to pick between two tough choices – drawing 25 extra cards or performing an action that sound like a nightmare. The second photo of two-paneled image shows the player holding a large hand of cards, because he decided to draw them instead of, for example, texting or calling their ex.

This was the worst-case scenario in the original “Draw 25” meme, but internet users quickly started replacing this call to action with other highly relatable, but equally undesirable situations, that would lead to Uno loss because we’re not ready to face them.

The imaginary “Draw 25” card is there to raise the stakes, and it became such a huge hit online, that famous illustrators embraced it. They started mixing this meme with popular culture, by placing some of our favorite fictional characters in the position to pick between drawing a handful of cards and doing something they would never take into consideration.
