This Kingdom Hearts/Kamala Harris mashup was not on my 2024 bingo card

BBG News

As a hardcore gamer and meme enthusiast with a soft spot for pop culture mashups, I can’t help but be captivated by this surreal fusion of Kamala Harris and Kingdom Hearts. The juxtaposition of her political quotes and the whimsical soundtrack from Square Enix’s iconic RPG series is an unexpected yet delightful blend that speaks to the depth of fandom and creativity in our community.

In the past two weeks, the 2024 presidential race has experienced significant changes with Joe Biden withdrawing from the Democratic nomination and Kamala Harris taking over as the nominee. This unexpected turn of events has sparked numerous coconut memes and left many people puzzled. Amidst this chaos, a Kingdom Hearts fan on TikTok created an extraordinary mashup that is as surreal and thought-provoking as a monologue from King Mickey.

In this social media post, the user is referencing Kamala (presumably Kamala Harris) in relation to Kingdom Hearts, a popular video game series. They have used various hashtags such as #kingdomhearts, #presidentkamala, #khedit, and #edit, as well as #coconuttree and #coconut, which may not be directly related but are likely added for fun or to attract other interests.

How to explain the joke? Is there a joke to even explain? I’ll do my best.

As a person who has grown up in a multicultural society, I can relate to Kamala Harris’ use of the “coconut tree” metaphor. Her words resonate with me because they speak to the complexity and richness of identity, something that I have experienced firsthand.

1. In a later statement, Harris delved deeper and his words took on a more intellectual tone. As if tailor-made, the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack echoed in the background. This was Harris musing about the concept of “time” after visiting a library. While Harris’ thoughts don’t quite match up to this Reddit thread that deciphers time travel within the Kingdom Hearts lore, his words seem perfectly suited for the mix.

As a gamer, I’d describe it like this: Harris shares an extraordinary brining turkey method, blended with Kingdom Hearts 3’s cooking minigame. The fusion amusingly highlights the “time” and “thyme” homophones, adding a delightful layer of trippy magic to the experience. Cool, right?

1. Despite its goofy nature, this fusion has struck a chord with a niche group of enthusiasts, leading the creator to produce an additional video showcasing Kamala Harris’ voice spliced to sing portions of the iconic Kingdom Hearts tune “Simple and Clean” by Hikaru Utada.
