Memes have become a popular form of expression in Vietnam, with Vietnamese netizens embracing internet memes that employ a mix of humor and satire to create a new lens with which to view everything from daily life to pop culture 1. One of the most popular Vietnamese memes is the “Vietnam Napalm Girl” meme, which is based on a famous photo taken during the Vietnam War 2. Another popular meme is the “Vietnam Vet” meme, which is a play on the phrase “Vietnam veteran” 2.
In recent years, Vietnamese meme culture has exploded, with many young people using memes to express themselves and communicate how they feel 1. Memes have become a way for Vietnamese people to circumvent state-controlled media when making public political opinions 3. For example, in 2018, the phrase “The Trees Speak in Vietnamese” became a catchphrase in memes about the Vietnam War, referring to how Americans struggled with the guerrilla warfare of the Viet Cong who would often fight in dense jungle 4.
One of the pioneering Vietnamese in the era of meme culture is An Khung An Tung (Duy An) and Minh Chanh who launched the Tuyet Bitch Collection (TCB) in August 2013 1. This collection of memes takes well-known Disney characters, from Snow White to Cinderella, and cleverly adds Vietnamese language bubbles that poke fun at current events in Vietnam 1. The online collection grew considerably, reaching 50,000 fans, in just three weeks 1.
Memes have become an amusing way to report what is going on in Vietnam, and it seems as though the duo have perfected the art of mixing humor and satire to address daily life issues through the medium of the still image Disney memes 1.
