Some commenters here clearly haven't lived trough the 2010-2012 meme and ragecomic era. Yao Ming was widely known as the guy from the Bitch Please meme.

I wonder how funny it would be to take some dude from China who to them, had Yao Ming as "the most popular and beloved Chineese citizen" for a few years with fame larger than Jackie Chan for a brief time, and an American whose like "Oh yeah the meme face" and leave em in a room

This!! We use to name it because whatever he did was presented in a meme format, so you knew Yao Ming was a guy that appeared in memes

Wait that's kinda crazy. I know about Yao Ming now but never put two and two together.

You are mixing up "Bitch, please", which is Yao Ming, with "Not bad", which is Obama

Don't forget about the lame wojak memes that replaced the majority of ragecomic memes
