The promotional campaign for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been quite dynamic over the past month, largely due to actor Peter Stormare's series of meme-worthy Replacer advertisements. The Replacer has now evolved beyond his roles as the new Pope or a popular sports mascot; he's now stepping into the shoes of some of the internet's most iconic memes—those that have managed to transcend the fleeting 15 seconds of fame that most new memes experience upon going viral. You can view the complete collection via this link.
The official Call of Duty X (formerly Twitter) account disclosed that the Replacer has taken over several beloved memes, including timeless classics like Leonardo DiCaprio Pointing, The Great Gatsby toast, the overly enthusiastic Jonah Hill, and even Homer Simpson backing into the bushes. Although not mentioned in the original post, the Replacer has also replaced the character in the John Wick Chapter 2 meme about focus, commitment, and sheer willpower, who bears a striking resemblance to him. How many of these can you identify in the post below?
If you're curious about why the star of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 and Constantine seems to be everywhere lately, it's because Activision has brought back the Replacer for Black Ops 6. Stormare has previously portrayed this role in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Black Ops 3, and Black Ops 4. So far, he's replaced French rapper JUL, political analysts, a Sky News sports host, and even your dad.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to launch on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC on October 25. In related news, you can find out how long the Black Ops 6 campaign is, how the progression and prestige systems function, and why the controversial Riot Shield won't be available at launch.
