How To Train Your Dragon: 10 Hilarious Uses Of The Toothless Presents Himself Meme

One of the biggest deliveries that House of the Dragon has promised is its representation of some excellent animated dragons. It’s good to remember, however, that long before Game of Thrones even aired, it was the dragons of Berk that dominated screens with their impressive animation.

During the release of the new series, it’s natural to feel some nostalgia for the How to Train Your Dragon universe, though its movies and shows are a lot more fun and lighthearted than any Game of Thrones episodes, new or old. The humor in How to Train Your Dragon is a major part of its appeal, which has led to its involvement in various meme formats over time. These are the best examples of the “Toothless Presents Himself” meme, taken originally from the third movie of the trilogy, The Hidden World.

Mom

It’s no wonder that the “Toothless Presents Himself” format has gained so much traction. The frame of Toothless himself is hilarious and terrifying enough to exist on its own, and perfectly encapsulates someone with good intentions failing at their desired goal.

Fortunately, the added contrasting reactions from the Light Fury and Hiccup make the format even more humorous. In this case, it works perfectly for the juxtaposition of a mother trying to support her child’s interests, even if they might not totally interest her.

Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll is a streaming website with one of the largest available collections of anime series online. Unlike Netflix or Hulu, a viewer doesn’t need a paid subscription in order to use the sight, though premium subscriptions are available.

It might come as a surprise to some that Crunchyroll is free, given the number of shows it contains. It’s never too late, however, to check out the website, which is always releasing new anime as well as streaming countless classics.

Virus

The “FBI Agents” rumored to be watching from every laptop and phone device have been fodder for memes for quite some time. As proved in this meme, they also make a perfect pairing with the “Toothless presents himself” format.

Most great memes experience some sort of variation, especially if they have been circulated for some time. In this example, the multiple viruses gained from a sketchy link are a perfect excuse to switch up the Hiccup part of the panel, changing his original solitary figure to many hilarious faces.

Wholesome

Originally, the “Toothless presents himself” meme was made around the Light Fury’s confused reaction to Toothless’s attempts at courtship. In the movie, this created a humorous parallel to Hiccup’s early encounters with Astrid, who he ended up winning down the line.

In a meme format, however, it’s nice to explore a timeline where the Light Fury liked Toothless right from the start. Of course, Toothless eventually wins the Light Fury’s heart in the end, and their union results in the creation of one of the main characters in Dragons: The Nine Realms.

Encanto

Last year was a great time for animated film releases, but perhaps most anticipated was the Disney film Encanto. The musical fantasy comedy gained huge popularity both for its heartfelt storyline and hilarious moments that have earned Encanto a spot in various memes.

In this example, the Toothless meme expresses the character arc of Isabela, the middle child of the protagonist Mirabel’s sisters. While Mirabel has an active part in pushing her sisters to their full potential, Abuela is often horrified when her family strays outside the norm.

Google

While Google’s main goal is to help, it can sometimes cause more confusion for its viewers than aid. This is particularly seen in the act of Googling health symptoms, which usually results in some outrageous conclusions.

While Google may seem confident about its answers to health concerns, most health professionals will likely vehemently disagree, making them the perfect match to the Light Fury’s disgruntled face in the meme format.

The Third Movie

Despite being one of the best animated sequels ever, not everyone has seen How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Although the movie offers a storyline skillfully built on its previous films and mind-blowing animation, it’s actually not surprising that it missed some viewers.

Since the original How to Train Your Dragon was aimed at younger audiences, by the time the third movie was released, most of its original fans had grown into adults. The time jump didn’t deter the more dedicated fans, however, and The Hidden World has been known to move viewers well beyond its intended audience.

Android Vs Apple

Those who have Android phones often find themselves in arguments to defend their devices against Apple users, who are adamant that their brand is the best. The debate over which phone company is better has been going on for years and doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon.

Despite these disagreements, however, Apple users tend to joke often about their own phones, which, just like any other electronic device, have their own number of cons as well as pros. It seems Android fans are just as enthusiastic about this poking fun, as it only helps their own stances.

Meme Within A Meme

When a meme format gains so much popularity, it can take some creative solutions to design an image that seems original. In this case, it means taking a format itself and transferring it into another meme that has already been well-defined.

Video games can be just as popular for creating meme templates as movies. The “I Fear No Man” meme has been used as much, if not more than the “Toothless Presents Himself” meme, and was originally derived from the video game Team Fortress 2.

Marvel Crossover

While Avengers: Endgame is mostly known for being one of the biggest box-office hits of all time, it’s also proved itself to be involved in endless amounts of memes, and has even found a place in the “Toothless reveals himself” format.

Endgame has maintained legendary status for many reasons, but one is undoubtedly its complex and heart-wrenching plot. While the movie forced man old-time Marvel heroes to make some impossible choices, the weight didn’t seem to resonate as much with some newer members of the Avengers team.
