A Curious Collection of Cursed Furby Memes, Tweets, & Tumblr Posts

Good ol' nostalgia has a pretty big place on the internet. It may have something to do with the fact that the bulk of its most prolific users are aging millennials. Aging millennials who remember the highs and the horror of the nineties. Some of the most prevalent and cursed nostalgic memes have to do with furbies, the terrifying electronic robot toys that everyone seemed to have but me. The thing is, almost all of my friends have stories of furbies saying creepy things. Sometimes they were about death, sometimes the utterances implied that the furbies had an ulterior motive (or that they were watching you). One thing is for certain: Something was seriously up with these toys. For the past few years, memers have seemingly been trying to take that creepiness up a notch by creating some seriously cursed memes. They didn't need the upgrade in that respect, but hey. We're here for memes, and we're here for these. Even if we end up sleeping with the lights on tonight.
