Don't Talk To Me Or My Son Ever Again" is a catchphrase associated with images featuring an iconic fictional character and its miniature offspring, the latter of which is produced by modifying the former character in image-editing applications like Photoshop. Originally introduced through a fan-made parody image of the Cowboy Bebop character Spike Spiegel in November 2014, the meme has seen a significant resurgence on Tumblr and Twitter following an influx of derivative "father-and-son" character images in late 2015.

Origin

On November 4th, 2014, Tumblr user Splendidland posted a picture featuring the character Spike Spiegel from the anime series Cowboy Bebop with a miniature version of himself, featuring the catchphrase "don't ever talk to me or my son ever again." The post gained over 6,300 notes in the following year. The origin of the quote Don't talk to me or my son ever again is unknown, but it is presumed to have been added by the original Tumblr user for comedic effect.
