People instantly saw the value in the hilariously photoshopped horse, with it popping up on YouTube weeks later, set to Europe’s “Final Countdown.”

The Honse meme spread across different avenues of social media, with people showing love to the fictional chunky horse.

As people developed an appreciation for the Honse, they took the idea and applied it to other photographs of horses (or honses).
