Every humor enthusiast, especially those interested in the Slavic world, has likely come across Polish videos about beavers. The latest meme, “Bober Kurwa,” has inspired the creation of a PC game of the same name.
For reasons unknown, over a decade ago, a very unique phenomenon spread across the Polish internet. It involves videos of men intensely commenting while filming beavers. Their accompanying speech is far from what we hear in documentaries on Animal Planet or National Geographic.
This highly specific genre of Polish amateur cinematography has become a universally beloved meme among our neighbors. The popularity of Polish beavers has transcended borders, and today, this format is known worldwide. Sometimes, you might even encounter people referring to Poles as “kurwabobr.“
The “Bober Kurwa” phenomenon is so strong that there are numerous pages and communities on social networks dedicated to Polish beavers. The most loyal fans are even willing to get their favorite animal tattooed, along with a few juicy Polish expressions.
With so many computer games being released today, a day would need to have 72 hours for a gaming enthusiast to fully enjoy all the titles that interest them. In this flood of games, it’s no surprise that even the most famous Polish meme has received a gaming adaptation.
“BOBR KURWA” is being developed by a Serbian programmer and game developer known under the pseudonym Smooch. At first glance, it resembles a roguelike game similar to “The Binding of Isaac” or “Nuclear Throne.” “BOBR KURWA” features pleasant retro pixel graphics characteristic of this genre.
