On January 8th, 2011, a Facebook page titled 'Old Man Yells at Cloud' was launched to curate a variety of photoshopped parodies based on the original image. On December 7th, 2009, deviantART user Mariobros123 submitted a photoshopped image featuring Abe Simpson and Lakitu's Clouds, a recurring enemy character in the Super Mario video game series. That same day, deviantART user Badonk submitted a similarly photoshopped parody combining Abe Simpson's image with a sullen-looking Cloud Strife. On November 11th, 2009, Halolz user Shawn Handyside submitted a photoshopped parody of the newspaper image in which the Final Fantasy VII protagonist Cloud Strife can be seen behind Abe Simpson, which went on to garner 401 votes, with an average score of 4.64 out of 5, and 86 comments. The first known wordplay on Abe Simpson's image can be traced to a humorous commentary on cloud computing technology posted by mobile tech blogger Joey deVilla on September 30th, 2008. Upon obtaining his newly issued driver's license, Abe walks over to a window and yells 'who's laughing now?' at a cloud while holding the card in his hand.
