Momo was a hoax and Urban legend/Creepypasta character about a nonexistent social media challenge that was spread on Facebook and other media outlets. She is depicted as a young woman with long black hair, large bulging eyes, a wide smile, and bird legs. The original image was of artist Keisuke Aiso's "Mother Bird" sculpture.
In popular culture
It was reported that children and adolescents were being enticed by a user named Momo to perform a series of dangerous tasks including violent attacks, self-harm, and suicide. The event with innocent kids' TV episodes of Peppa Pig or Kinder Toy unboxing, and other shows aimed at very young children, being interrupted by Momo (the creepypasta meme) with threats she is coming to kill the viewer which traumatizes the young viewer.[1]
Often, parents will leave their kids alone to watch episodes of children's programs such as Peppa Pig. The episodes themselves will be harmless, luring the child into thinking they're watching the full episode of the series. However, at some point during the episode, without warning, the episode will cut to a picture of "Momo" doing one of the following:
- Singing with a young girl (Momo's going to kill you, Momo's going to kill you, I won't lie, you're going to die)
- Screaming
- "Play hide and seek" and don't tell parents or she'll kill you
Other examples in Garry's Mod video include a YouTuber Filthy Frank or known as Joji, it features a green screen where he instructs the viewer on how to self-harm with a knife.[2]
One of the reasons this happens is because it's expected that the parents won't be around when "Momo" pops up.
