People are flooding social media with memes about the newly-revealed PlayStation 5

• Sony revealed the long-awaited PlayStation 5, its newest console, on June 11.
• The console's design is primarily white and asymmetrical, marking a departure from previous PlayStation console designs.
• People have been flooding Twitter with memes about the console, reimagining it as cartoon characters and re-creating it with household objects like routers and paper towels.

Yesterday, on June 11, Sony revealed the long-awaited PlayStation 5, its newest console. The PS5 is set for release during the 2020 holiday season, and comes in two different models: one with and one without a disc drive. Like any major console launch, the reveal of the PS5 provoked strong reactions online, leading people to immediately meme its slick black-and-white, asymmetrical design online.

As Business Insider's Ben Gilbert noted, the PS5's design is a pretty sharp visual departure from previous PlayStation consoles, which have been primarily black. The shock of the new design is likely why it managed to provoke some pretty strong reactions online.

People were quick to "recreate" the PS5 with whatever they had at home — wifi-routers, fans, three-ring binders, even paper towels.

There were also several memes floating around comparing the PS5's façade to well-known cartoon characters like Dr. Doofenschmirtz and Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome.

Given the console's sleek design, it was easy to turn it into everything ranging from Barad-Dûr (Sauron's fortress from "The Lord of the Rings") to a Taco Bell combo. There's even an edit of the console as the "you know I had to do it to 'em" guy.

The PS5 isn't currently available for preorder, but between the inevitable stream of memes and excitement over games on the console like "Spider-Man: Miles Morales," there's plenty of hype.
