A viral post about how Animal Crossing players describe villagers they want gone from their islands instantly turned into one of Animal Crossing: New Horizons' biggest memes: Bill Wibbly. Bill Wibbly personifies the villagers Animal Crossing players want to get rid of for arbitrary reasons. The meme emphasizes the strong disliking some ACNH players have towards certain villagers, including those considered Animal Crossing New Horizons' worst villagers, and how they vilify the most innocent-looking characters. There are few characters the community as a whole unanimously likes, showing that the popularity of Animal Crossing villagers is down to personal preference.
The post pokes fun at the contrast between the way Animal Crossing villagers are described by players who aren't fond of them, versus the way the villagers look wholesome and inoffensive from the outside looking in. The Animal Crossing community has embraced the Bill Wibbly meme, now using the phrase «Bill Wibbly» to describe a villager they don't want on their island. Others have taken to blaming the fictional Bill Wibbly for other misfortunes in-game, like when beloved ACNH villagers leave their island unexpectedly.
