What is the Would (Japanese Parliament) meme?
Would is a chaotic news photo from Japan's parliament: a crowd of lawmakers in dark suits grabs, pushes and pins down a gray-haired man in glasses, committee chairman Shinichi Yokoyama, who sits squeezed in the middle clutching a microphone and saying something into it anyway. A woman in orange gestures in the back while others lunge across the desk. In meme form the image represents one person loudly announcing "would" while everyone around them tries to stop it. "Would" is the internet's one-word answer meaning you would happily go for something, usually something you should not admit to wanting.
Origin: The photo was taken on December 8th, 2018, as opposition lawmakers tried to stop a committee vote on Japan's foreign-worker immigration bill. Years later it was adopted as the go-to image for posting "would".
Also known as: Would, Japanese Parliament Brawl, Japanese Parliament Trying to Stop Shinichi Yokoyama, The Would Picture.
How to use the Would (Japanese Parliament) meme
The top box is optional; leave it blank or describe the thing being judged. The bottom box is just "would" in almost every version, because the image already shows the crowd trying to hold the speaker back.
Keep it playful and wholesome: the funniest uses apply "would" to food, gadgets, cursed objects or obviously bad decisions, like a fourth coffee or a 3 a.m. impulse purchase. The more people would disapprove, the better the restraining crowd fits.
