10 Animal Crossing Memes That Prove The Games Make No Sense

Animal Crossing is a wonderful little series of games, but they really don't make any sense at all some times. For 19 years, Nintendo's has provided a fun escape to fictional open worlds where players manage their own homes, finances, and friendships. It's basically like Sims, except this franchise is admittedly a bit weirder. Humans are the rare species in these towns and cities filled with anthropomorphic animals. You spend your days hoping to pay off your thousands of dollars of debt to a greedy, business-oriented raccoon. You get the power to control time, though, so that's fun. Animal Crossing's fifth installment, , is coming to the very soon. Now is the perfect time to take a look back at the franchise as a whole and realize just how little it actually made sense. Here are 10 memes that provide all the proof you need. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Who Needs A Real Bedroom

After forcing you to purchase a very tiny home that you cannot afford, Tom Nook oh so generously allows you to pay off your loans whenever you're able to scrounge up extra cash. When you finally do pay everything off, you can expand your home...for another hefty price. That part is pretty similar to the real world. What doesn't make sense, though, is that you can try to build yourself a bigger bedroom all you want, but you still have to sleep in the tiny attic to access the save feature. Apparently you can't have all the nice things.

It s Not Just Any Leaf

Everything is not what it seems in — especially when it comes to those oddly-shaped leaves. Items take on the appearance of small, green leaves when they're being passed from character to player or when they're on display in a home. Then, somehow, they magically transform into a full-size decoration for your living space. How does Isabelle know she's handing that villager a lantern? How can she tell that leaf from all the other leaves?!

Animal Crossing Or A Retail Job

, City Folk, Pocket Camp... No matter the Animal Crossing game, the villagers will have some crazy requests for you. Sometimes, even when you bring them what they ask for they still aren't happy — like Grizzly here. We aren't sure if this "blue vase" thing was a twisted glitch on the game developer's part or if they intentionally wanted to drive us crazy. Either way, it seems like these villagers will never be satisfied, and they certainly never seem to make much sense.

I ll Just Keep This Cockroach

There's a lot of things that don't make sense about this one. First of all, why would you say "Ewwww" about a cockroach and then casually put it in your pocket? A cockroach also probably wouldn't take so well to being in a pocket. We're all for bug collecting, sure, but at least put the little guy in a jar or something. One more thing... We really hope that cockroaches bigger than our hands don't exist in real life. The proportions in these games are out of control.

Trees Grow Couches Now

Have you ever seen a couch fall out of a tree? Well, technically, we haven't either. But we have seen some of those aforementioned magical transforming leaves fall out of trees. When you're desperate enough to find some new goodies, you can try your luck at shaking the trees in Animal Crossing and hope a swarm of bees doesn't come out. If you're lucky, you might just find a brand new couch for your living room hiding up there. How did it even get in a tree in the first place, we wonder?

You Can t Put A Fish In A Letter

The size of these villagers' pockets seems to be the same as Mary Poppins' magic bag. Refrigerators, couches, cockroaches, shovels, fossils ... if you feel like carrying all of that around with you, go right ahead. But don't even think about trying to mail your neighbor a fish. That's just not logical. So what if we do want to mail a fish to our neighbor? Maybe Grizzly asked for one too many blue items and we want to stink up his mailbox a little. Hopefully, the post office in will be more open-minded.

A Frog For A Frog

In any other world, we think anthropomorphic animals might be a little offended if you capture one of their own species and give it to them as a gift. Not in Animal Crossing! Puddles here, a purple and pink frog, is apparently thrilled to receive a pet pond frog from their neighbor. We hope this doesn't turn into anything cannibalistic.

Finder s Keepers

The villagers in Animal Crossing are pretty honest for the most part, until it comes to finding money in town. One activity in the games is to return missing items to their owners when villagers ask you for help in their search. There's even a handy lost and found area! Sometimes, bags of money will end up hidden in trees, but there's no telling how they ended up there. If you shake the tree, you keep the money and nobody asks any questions. How else are you going to pay Tom Nook back?

Shut Up And Take My Bed

Some of the villagers in Animal Crossing are generous — very generous, as this meme shows. They'll ask you for a small fruit or an item that happened to be sitting in your pockets already, and as a thank you, they'll give you a full-sized piece of furniture. It's not exactly what we'd call a fair trade, but hey, we won't argue. We just hope that villager still has another bed to sleep on.

Weeds Are Worth How Much

In past Animal Crossing games, ugly weeds would pop up all over town if you go a long time without visiting. They simply went away when you plucked them out of the ground, never to be seen again. Now, it's rumored that in New Horizons, the weeds will actually go right into your pockets and can be sold in Nook's store. Quite frankly, we're not sure how a clump of weeds is even worth one bell let alone 150, but once again... we won't argue with Animal Crossing logic.
