It took a while, but a substantial amount of information on the Sony PlayStation 5 console was released on June 11, 2020. Not long after the PS5 Reveal Event ended, PS5 console memes exploded onto the internet. As a result, fans of the new gaming hardware were delighted.

One glimpse at the PlayStation 5 was enough for gamers everywhere to get excited for next-gen, but it’s the hilarious content keeping fans sane until then. With the PS5 closer than ever, there are plenty of memes to be excited about– especially those that make people laugh out loud. Here are 10 PS5 console design memes that are just too hilarious for words.

10 Ice Cream Sandwich

There are several food-related memes out there about the PS5, and they aren’t simply for the Sony console. Other gaming platforms look quite similar to either kitchen appliances or food. Hence, the reason you’re always hungry when playing Grand Theft Auto. 

In this case, the PS5 looks a lot like an ice cream sandwich. It would be one of those reverse flavors where chocolate ice cream is sandwiched between two vanilla wafers. For those who don’t like ice cream, picture a charred beef brisket between two pieces of white bread.

9 School Daze

Before laptops became the norm in schools, students had to store their notes and other important papers in three-ring binders. Although they come in different colors, the most popular shade is white.

Maybe this is where the PS5 designers came up with the new console. They took a PS2 and covered it in a white shell for a futuristic look. On one hand, the concept works. On the other, they’d see a sales spike if it looked more like a Trapper Keeper.

8 Architecture

Unbeknownst to the citizens of Valencia, Spain, a new building has sprouted up in the middle of the City of Arts and Sciences. They haven’t named it yet. Frankly, the PS building or the PlayStation complex doesn’t flow off the tongue in Spanish.

Similar to the Fantastic Four’s Baxter Building, it should be named after its architect or benefactor. Then again, the seemingly pure design can be the headquarters for a nefarious organization bent on taking over the world. So, it would probably be named the Happy Safe Building to throw people off.

7 Duck, Duck, PS5

If we were flies on the wall at Sony’s headquarters, we’d want to be in design meetings for the PS5. This would help us understand how they came up with their ideas. For instance, it seems the console’s contours were modeled after a duckbill.

It’s a sensible choice. Duckbills are efficient at gathering water and nutrition. They also help produce honks that are more soothing on a quiet day than ones heard in the city. In the end, this is a perfect example.

6 Router

Then again, a designer may have passed one of the server rooms at Sony headquarters, notice a router, and went, “Hmmm.” It certainly looks like a modern router between two envelopes. Or, perhaps a router within a three-ring binder.

Of course, routers have blinking lights that confuse some people. That is not a part of the PS5 design. The blinking lights are hidden. Thus, confusion is eliminated.

5 Faces

Face it, the PS5 has enough space on its surface to create a face. While the area isn’t as big as, say, a Mr. Potato Head, there is enough smooth surface for a pair of eyes and either a nose or mouth.

This is a marketing opportunity for Sony. Should initial sales of the PS5 be under their estimates, or if they need to freshen things up, the company can introduce a line of consoles with faces. Perhaps to match those related to franchise games like Tomb Raider.

4 80s Flashback

Attention, fans of linen jackets. You and the PS5 have something in common. You both like the look Don Johnson perfected on Miami Vice.

Granted, its look is more futuristic than the original jackets. The ones Johnson’s Sonny Crockett wore had wider lapels. Also, it was shorter. The PS5 version has a resemblance of a lab coat.

3 Star Trek

Fans of the iconic science-fiction franchise might see a resemblance to their universe. The Xbox does look like a Borg cube. Conversely, the PS5 the design of a Starfleet building or shuttle.

If not a fan of Star Trek, then look at these through the eyes of Star Wars. Xbox has the feel of a Dark Side weapon while the clarity of the PS5 brings a feeling of hope to the universe.

2 The Pope

When the Pope walks up to the pulpit to begin a service, parishioners normally see him wearing a mitre. This is a tall folded hat that can be plain or adorned with many jewels. It also comes in various sizes.

Take for instance, the PS5 mitre. It’s slightly taller than the one the Pope normally wears. Yet, it’s more elegant. Plus, its weight likely keeps the Pope steady during those long services.

1 Toy Story

Poor PS4. It was around for so long that it started to feel like it was the last console Sony would create. Then, the PS5 was introduced. Now, PS4 owners are starting to look at their plain consoles with sadness.

The PS4 has nothing to worry about, at least not at first. While many people will purchase a PS5 the minute it’s released to the public, others will wait patiently while all the kinks are worked out. So, a good portion of PS4s will remain off of eBay for a while.
