# Meme-Themed Stuffed Animals The 'This is Fine' Plush Dog Brings the Online Meme Into Reality By Joey Haar | Published 2016-08-03 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plush-dog References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/the-this-is-fine-dog-is-now-a-stuffed-animal-you-can-bu-1784771298) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kcgreen/this-is-fine-plush-dog) One of (the notoriously pessimistic) Internet culture's favorite memes is jumping out of its online space and into reality as a plush dog thanks to KC Green, the artist behind the original "This is Fine" comic. The adorably naive and blissfully ignorant pup will come in [stuffed form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepy-blobfish-plushie), replete with accurate colors and holding his signature "This is Fine" mug. Beyond the 13-inch tall plush dog itself, Green is offering a "Play Pak," which is a cross-section of the burning apartment in which the meme takes place. Rest assured that the Play Pak's flames will be drawn rather than actually ablaze. Other add-ons for the 'This is Fine' plush dog include a fridge magnet and a sticker of the [original comic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-book-plushies). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Meme-themed Merchandise:** Opportunity to capitalize on the growing trend of creating physical products inspired by popular online memes. - **Cross-platform Marketing:** Opportunity to incorporate popular online memes into physical products to attract younger, digitally-skewed audiences. - **Social Media Marketing:** Opportunity to create buzz around meme-themed products through strategic social media marketing campaigns. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** Opportunity for toy companies to create meme-themed stuffed animals and toys for a younger, digitally-savvy audience. - **Pop Culture Merchandise:** Opportunity for companies in the pop culture merchandise industry to incorporate popular online memes into their product offerings. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for marketing and advertising agencies to leverage the popularity of online memes in cross-platform and social media campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anthropomorphic Cup Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusesable-coffee.md) - [Baked Goods Plushies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-goods-plushies.md) - [Humorous Cat Collectables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tired-cats-gachapon.md) - [Fluffy Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urupocha-chan.md) - [Plush Toy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urupochachan.md) - [Human-Sized Dog Beds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plufl.md) - [Lamb-Inspired Dog-Centric Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamb-chop.md) - [Plush Monster Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labubu.md) - [RPG-Inspired Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kobold-plushies.md)
