Someone please help these Pikachu

Whether you love them or you think they’re an abomination manifested on this earth in a blatant cash grab to capitalize on nostalgia and pop culture, Funko Pops are here to stay. The latest collectible line to hit the shelves is “Pokémon Pop,” starting with none other than Pikachu. The Pokémon Funko Pops are a Target exclusive, and the Pikachu figures, which retail for $8.99, have already sold out and are being resold online for up to $60.

Maybe Funko Pops are this generation’s Beanie Babies. The driving “Gotta catch ‘em all” ethos behind Pokémon jells perfectly with Funko Pops’ mission: synergy! But the soulless black discs that Funko Pop insists on calling “eyes” on each of its figurines is not in conjunction with pokémon, which are supposed to be cute and not murderous.

I’d love to place my hands on a soft, squishy Pikachu body for dozens of reasons, but today I’m thrilled to add a entry to my growing list: Pikachu has fallen, and it can’t get up. During a publicity appearance, this butterball spun around a little too fast and slammed its face into the ground. While wearing a business suit.

This real-life cartoon moment is brought to you by a Twitter user, who captured the whole thing on camera. Poor Pikachu.

The Pokémon World Festival 2017 happened this past weekend in Songdo, South Korea, and what’s a proper festival without a choreographed Pikachu dance? Visitors patiently waited in line for a glimpse of the dancing Pikachu parade as well as the opening of a Pokémon pop-up shop, and they were treated to a scene straight out of a Korean gangster mob movie, as shown in the video above.

Around 1:01, the main Pikachu in the center starts deflating, prompting staff members to rush in and drag him away like he was going straight to pokémon jail. In the absolute best timing possible, Pikachu’s head starts melting right as Nikki Blonsky sings, “And you can try to stop my dancing feet” and the organizers were like, “Okay.”
