Some Funny Jiong Images Spread Through Email

A lot of interesting Chinese “internet” things in happen on the BBS forums but a lot are also spread between Chinese people through email every day. Here are some funny jiong pictures that a friend emailed me. Many of these images are old but you can still see many netizens using these images on BBS.

If you do not understand the last picture, this is probably a university dorm and the students are using Chinese BBS humor. On Chinese BBS, the person who starts a post-topic is called the 楼主 (lou2 zhu3) “building owner”. Each reply below the “lou zhu” is a 楼 (lou2) “floor”.

Sometimes, people will try to be the first reply to a new topic and say 沙发 (sha1 fa1) “sofa” because it is like he or she is sleeping on the sofa of the building owner. This is similar to people saying “first” (first reply) on English BBS or blog comments.

People on lower “floors” will often reply or refer to a “floor” or the “floors” above them. 支持 (zhi1 chi2) “support” and (ding3) “top, bump, up” are also common terms used on China BBS.

  1. Oh sweet! FIRST! Er, sofa!

    I agree the last one is pretty damn funny but also that you have to be rather familiar with Chinese forum culture to get it. The internet bar one is pretty crazy too. Is that Starcraft or Warcraft (C&C series?) on the screen? The image on the screen looks kinda photoshopped to me though, but I dig the “cartridge” on the keyboard.

    Megatron Jiong is nifty too but that Wang Wang guy just gives me the creeps.

  2. I thought those “monitors” were microwaves or toaster ovens. :0 Anyway fun post.

  3. The picture of the last example (the dorm) is timeless. Very clever, very funny.

  4. Am I the only one who thinks that the transformer 囧 looks like it’s transforming into the giant underpants building?

  5. ha ha. Jiong!

  6. It’s Starcraft,I can see the hive.

  7. Last one was the best.

  8. man that last one is great

  9. I like the 2nd one the best since it looks like a robot :) Very cute and friendly robot.

    The mop with the shrooms is funny but I wouldn’t eat nothing growing on a mop, even if the darn thing is yummy and super kick-ass!

  10. That’s not an internet bar — the kid is playing playstation. If you want some insight, not this silly cr*p, visit my website,

    • that is not playstation, that is simply a video game where they insert the cartridge.
      by the way, seeing all these images, am going 囧, 囧, 囧, 囧

  11. Jiong Internet Bar – it verry old bar )
