Twitter s Note Sharp's Gun-like Cordless Vacuum is Ripe for Meme Status
posted on by Eric Stimson
Sharp's new cordless vacuum cleaner helps s suck up dirt and debris in high, hard-to-reach places, and it's portable and easy to carry. It also looks quite a bit like a gun.
Sharp itself did not fail to notice this, posting on its official Twitter "if everyone says it just looks like a gunblade, or a sniper [rifle], we wouldn't say a peep."
This follow-up tweet pushes the comparison further by mimicking a menu from Splatoon: "Main: Splat Cleaner. Sub: Plasma Cluster Trap. Special: Cyclone Bomb."
Sharp then posted these pictures of its various models and encouraged others to use them as it saw fit: "Railguns, Gunslash, gunblades, laser guns, sniper [rifles], airsoft [guns]... now even I can only see our company's new vacuum cleaner model as a weapon."
Naturally, Japanese Twitter s obliged, starting a cordless vacuum cleaner meme.
@_AjutA_ continued with the Splatoon theme, presenting the "Splat Cleaner" as a vacuum that sucks up ink and restores allies' ink in its sub and special forms.
But other s took the meme in different directions, interposing it in Bloodborne...
... Kantai Collection...
... Chappie...
... Gundam...
... a loris...
... Higanjima...
... Predator...
... Freddie Mercury...
... Puella Magi Madoka Magica...
... Yu-Gi-Oh! cards...
... and Evangelion: 2.0 You Can [Not] Advance.
