About
Insanity Puppy is an advice animal image macro series of a siberian husky puppy with markings reminiscent of a cartoon villain. He is depicted as a younger version of Insanity Wolf, similar to Baby Courage Pup. The text often consists of a over the top or psychotic reaction to something.
Origin
The original two-pane image shows a siberian husky puppy, whose tag has been blacked out by the original poster. The puppy's eye markings are reminiscent of stereotypical high-arching villain eyebrows, which have been portrayed through popular cartoon and comics franchises, according to TV Tropes.[1] The photo was posted to Reddit on September 1st, 2011 by upparoom titled "My puppy will eat your soul and ask for seconds."[2] It received 1636 upvotes and 682 comments in the first month.
Redditor DaveFishBulb was the first to call the dog Insanity Pup[3] two and a half hours after the post was made. The first derivation was posted by TychoVhargon[4] on the same day, with a Hypnotoad mashup image.
The first image macro to appear outside of Reddit was posted to FunnyJunk[5] on September 4th, 2011.
