I see, so those weren't jokes at all. Instead, posters AndyElusive and Johnny Aztec were being racist. Thank you.

I was attempting to be clever and play off the " It's not Delivery, it's Digorno" tagline and failed horribly. Thanks for bring that up, ya jerkoff.
Andys was a reference for that clothes ad in the UK with the black child wearing a hoody that said " Coolest monkey in the jungle."




Also, go eat poo poo for calling me racist.

EDIT - Since I deleted my post anyway, been meaning to mention this:

Just like Poe's Law, there should be a similar law for bootlegs that "From only an image, it is impossible to tell whether something of a certain (lack of) quality is an actual bootleg or an ironic art piece mimicking a bootleg".

I call it "Robert Cop's Law"!

Yeah they look pretty close to vintage 1970s Mego dolls


.... but just slightly off. The belts are wrong to start with but they might have come off some other doll. Robin's arms also don't seem to be articulated.

They actually look remarkably accurate to the Mego action figures, but because I'm a nerd, I can tell you that Superman head sculpt is a knock-off and as Snowglobe mentions, the belts and other parts are off.

They do look like cheesy old action figures, unless you know what you’re looking at.

Batman and Spider-Man have Captain Action masks cast as heads.
Robins head looks like a Mego
I have no idea where Superman’s is from but has seen some poo poo

Batman, Robin and Superman’s costumes look to be ripped off from Mego, and Spider-Man’s from Captain Action.

Batman and Robins belts are from Captain action.

Body’s all look to be blow molded and have limited articulation. Think hollow Ken doll.

The weird thing is that Captain Action was a 12 inch figure and Mego was 6inch so they had to do some work to shrink the heads down. It isn’t uncommon for factories to have left over items and throw them on whatever else they had laying around to sell them.

This has info on real Captain Action and you can see how they compare http://www.toysyouhad.com/Captainaction.htm

Bootlegs of games on "app stores" are pretty common since they are easy to make and there is pretty much zero barrier to entry.

There was, recently, a popular visual novel (which is a type of game) called "Doki Doki Literature Club" that centered around an after-school girls' literature club.

The people who made the bootleg were apparently so lazy and undiscerning that they used, as one of their in-game visual assets, an infamously goofy piece of fanart depicting a petite character from the original game as absurdly muscled.

"Doki Doki" is where my brain de-railed making the rest of the sentence not register at all. You've mostly cleared that up.

So to be clear, a "visual novel" is basically a choose your own adventure but most of the narrative is delivered in illustration?

Just to say, it's worth downloading doki doki literature club on steam, it's free and absolutely fantastic for its three hour run. It's definitely not what you think it is at first glance, and maybe not even what you think it is when you think you've figured it out. Great experience. Also it's got a 97% positive rating on steam with over 80,000 reviews, which is almost unheard of.

The buff natsuki thing is such a weird, but funny meme.
