Memes
The following are notable memes in the Animal Crossing community that are not endorsed by Nintendo themselves.
"Raymond in boxes"
One of the many pictures taken of Raymond surrounded by cardboard boxes.
Due to his heightened popularity yet extreme rarity thanks to no amiibo card being released and small odds to appear on Mystery Island Tours and from the Campsite, Raymond is often sold at higher margins of Nook Miles Tickets or Bells.[1] On some occasions, Raymond is sold on sites like eBay for real-world currencies.[2] Scams have also occurred in the process of trading Raymond, such as a notable incident on Discord where one person had managed to scam a user of 500 Nook Miles Tickets for a "Raymond viewing session".[3] This has lead to many community members of the Animal Crossing fandom calling out against the black market for Raymond on places such as Nookazon, and many prominent Animal Crossing Discord servers now require a photo to be attached for whoever is trading a villager. Attempts to break the Raymond market had been done with hackers such as PokéNinja, who managed to give away Raymond to 50 users using a save editor.[4]
Nevertheless, the "Raymond in boxes" meme has been incorporated within the Animal Crossing fandom, mocking the black market situation with Raymond. Often, internet users would take screenshots with Cardboard Boxes surrounding Raymond or an impersonator dressed as Raymond, or photoshop Raymond into actual boxes, then posting these images on social media sites.[5] Other have drawn art to paint the perspective of Raymond being sold on the black market, including an artwork drawn by Sara showing two players trading Nook Miles Tickets in front of Raymond.[6] DannTheMan, a notable YouTube creator, felt that Raymond's popularity and rarity shouldn't be factors to appreciate Raymond, explaining that "the best villagers to have are the ones [people may] feel a sort of connection with them".[7]
Other notable memes surrounding Raymond included him dressing up in a Maid Dress, having him sing Bubblegum K.K., and anti-Raymond posts, the latter of which grew in tandem with the "Raymond in boxes" meme.[8][9][10]
