I’m sure you’re expecting this, the Spanish Inquisition.
Nobody Expects The Spanish Inquisition
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Classification: Non-native, non-invasive
Nobody Expects The Spanish Inquisition is possibly the oldest surviving member of the broader clade of Surprise Memes, a clade also including Get Stick Bugged Lol and the Rickroll. Surprise Memes often have longer lifespans than other memes due to their capacity for symbiosis, parasitism, and hybridization.
Due to the advanced age and stable population of the meme, conservationists predict that Nobody Expects The Spanish Inquisition will remain a common part of the tumblr ecosystem for many years to come. Unfortunately, our expectation that the meme population will remain stable may be harmful to the meme population due to its need for habitat in which it is unexpected.
Conservationists are divided on the correct way to solve this problem.
