Years ago, an image macro meme began in the depths of the internet in a place called 4chan. “Advice Dog,” as it was known, was a simple image of a puppy’s adorable head emblazoned upon a rainbow background. Earning his name from the bits of incoherent guidance that accompanied his grinning face, Advice Dog spawned, in true meme fashion, a number of imitators, spin-offs, and children.
Ranging from Hipster Kitty to Socially Awkward Penguin, Musically Oblivious 8th Grader to Sexually Oblivious Rhinoceros, below are 10 of the best of Advice Dog’s progeny. And below the list are a few highlights from each.

Paranoid Parrot

Musically Oblivious 8th Grader

Hipster Kitty’s worst nightmare. She loves Justin Bieber. She likes all music, except for rap and country, of course. She doesn’t understand how a gaming establishment that went up in flames could have possibly won Album of the Year.
Sexually Oblivious Rhino

The evolution of Socially Awkward Penguin, Sexually Oblivious Rhino doesn’t understand innuendo, doesn’t pick up on hints, and definitely never gets laid.
