John Pork
A made-up online character with a man's body and a pig's head. Kids joke that he's calling them, or invent lore about him.
John Pork is calling, do I pick up? 😭
For parents and educators
Fictional and ironic. If a younger child is upset by the spooky or death jokes, reassure them it's a made-up character.
Where it came from
A virtual influencer from 2018. The fake phone-call meme took off in 2023, and fake "he's gone" stories followed later.
