The Real Meaning of the ‘Please Come to Brazil’ Meme

It is a truth universally acknowledged that you will find, on any YouTube video and any Instagram or Twitter post by a celebrity, at least one comment with the words “Please Come to Brazil.” The ubiquitousness of the phrase to the ecology of the internet can be summed up by a version of the Mike Wazowski Explaining Things meme in the metal music community on Reddit: Mike is the guy always explaining why their favorite band has to visit Brazil in the comments. The same meme could be applied to most, if not all, fandoms.
