Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price

If one sees Filthy acts at a reasonable price, they might find themselves confounded; Is That a JoJo reference?

The line itself is an English localization of the name of Funny Valentine’s Stand: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, also referred to as D4C.

Online, the unfamiliar localization had spawned countless memes, with a similar evolutionary structure to Increasingly Verbose Memes and the Galaxy Brain template.

“Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price” was first featured in the 61^st chapter of Steel Ball Run, the 7^th part of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series, published under the title Both Sides Now, Part 1, on May 19^th, 2008.

The Stand is given immense power, as it can create alternate, parallel universes, which power serves as the basis for numerous memes.

“Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price” became a popular search item on Google following the release of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle video game in the United States on April 29^th, 2014.

An early meme usage of the character and its powers can be linked to the YouTube upload of Derk on October 13^th, 2016, published under the title “Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price”, depicting infinite recreations of Donald Trump interacting.

In the following years, especially in 2018, image macros appeared online on sites like Reddit’s r/ShitPostCrusaders sub, iFunny, Facebook as well as Twitter, all revolving around “Filthy Acts at a Reasonable Price”.
