With time, variations of Apustaja would evolve over time such as Bobo the Bear bear to represent the bearish markets on the 4chan /biz/ board. One popular meme Apustaja is often paired with is Ashbie Moon which seems to be a parody of "The The Princess and the Frog". Kohler is an illustration of various other memes based on a smug Apustaja template.
