About

The Grinch Poster Parodies are series of photoshopped promotional posters for the 2018 animated feature film Dr. Seuss' The Grinch, elevating the gentle trolling of the original posters and making them more explicitly offensive for humorous effect.

Origin

In fall 2018, a number of promotional posters for the The Grinch, which attempted to gently troll the area in which they were placed, began gaining notice online. On October 17th, 2018, Twitter ^[1] user @Yassammez tweeted a series of these posters (shown below, left). The post received more than 10 retweets and 60 likes.

Two days later, Twitter^[2] user @bugmanetv tweeted, "I don't like this new grinch." They attached a photograph of one of the trolling posters; however, the tagline has been photoshopped to read "I'm gonna drown you to death in green cum." The post received more than 2,200 retweets and 9,900 likes in four days (shown below, right).

Spread

Over the next several days, others began posting photoshopped versions of the poster. On October 22nd, film critic David Ehrlich tweeted one in which the tagline reads 'Make America Great Again'. The post received more than 60 retweets and 500 likes in 24 hours (shown below).

"Just Like My Nuts" Hoax

On November 9th, 2018, Imgur user Twistable69^[4] posted a picture of a poster advertising pistachios featuring The Grinch saying "Green and Salty. Just like me" (shown below).

On November 12th, Instagram user @jaunty_jenkhead^[5] posted a doctored photo which had the advertisement read "Green and Salty. Just like my nuts," gaining 97 likes.

Nevertheless, the image began to spread and some people assumed it was a real advertisement. User @teddybearisms tweeted the image as if it were a real advertisement and gained over 52,000 retweets and 191,000 likes (shown below, left). User @iamalmostlegend did the same (shown below, right).
