History
According to the original image's EXIF data,[5] Cobson was created on June 6th, 2021 at 14:34:35 EST by someone using Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.0 on Windows. He was subsequently posted on /qa/ at 17:03:41 EST the same day under the filename "lawnmower soy.png", with the accompanying caption: "ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS BASEDJAK ONIONS
Cobson's career as a musician was jumpstarted when he received a number of edits depicting him as a rapper.[6][7][8] From there, he starred in an unusual number of song parodies on the Soyjak Party Video Archive. His early work was a little too new wave for my taste, but when Gem Cobity released in '21? I think he really came into his own, both commercially and artistically. He's been compared to Svenska Beat, but I think Johbson has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
David Thoughie
In 2021 and 2022, Cobson's disassociate personality David Thoughie released two parody songs, Gem Cobity and Cobman, both to widespread critical acclaim. Multiple chuds have admitted to listening to these songs "unironically", including one YouTube reviewer who described it as an "actual gem",[9] and another who hailed it as "Perhaps the greatest gem ever mined and cut thus far".[10]
In January 2022, Cobman was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature.[11]
Cobbo
Cobbo, also known as Cob Gang, is a popular parody song whose lyrical content offers a scathing critique on the human soyndition (soy condition), delivered in the high art of mumble rap. It is extremely popular; as of February 2022 it is the most viewed video on the Soyjak Party Video Archive. Cobbo, and by extension Cobson himself, is one of only a couple things to ever receive the rare honour of starring on the Soyjak Party homepage, the highest award Soot could bestow.
/s4s/ incident
Main article: Swaglord
The use of Cobbo's lyrics as material for post n°10000000 on /s4s/[12][13] was considered by many onlookers to have immortalized Cobson into a gem; GEMson: Coalson redeemed. This was also a massive Brazilian victory and it made Swaglord go on one of the biggest janny seethe sessions ever documented.
Other songs
In an attempt to capitalise on the surprise success of 'Cobo, Cobson produced an unofficial sequel Gemmy,[14] as well as a nutwave re-release of the original.[15] Despite good reviews and mild popularity, these spin-offs failed to capture the runaway success of the original.
In January 2022, Cobson collaborated with fellow singer-songwriter Nojak to produce a short audio sample titled 6ixϪhrembo & DJ Moose.[16]
The Great BBC Slander
Main Article: Spadeson
In late 2021 and early 2022 edits of Cobson began to appear on the Sharty, /bant/ and the Booru depicting Cobson as a “BBC Slut,” these edits were likely made by Discoal raiders and trannies in an effort to slander Cobson’s name and title of “God-Tier Wojak.” As of late April 2022 edits are still appearing on the Party and /bant/. Cobson has refused to speak publicly about the incident but his lawyer Saul Goodman has stated in an official open letter that they are pursuing a defamation lawsuit against those posting defamatory edits.
On July 24th, 2022, Kuz announced that Cobson BBC spam is no longer allowed, marking an end for BBC slander on the Sharty [17][18] (but they are keeping to forcing it on the wiki, th*ugh). Holy ESL
Cobinisation
Cobinisation (British English; or cobinization in American English) is a phenomenon observed in the soy community whereby previous edits featuring non-Cobson variants eventually resurface as Cobsons.
If this trend continues, scientists estimate that all soyjaks will be Cobsons by the year 2033.
Subvariants
NuCob
NuCob is a popular edit of Cobson that's mostly used in wholesome edits due to the angry nature of Cobson. NuCob was first posted on /qa/ on October 12th 2021 following the massive success of Cobson.[19] Alongside the usual wholesome edits, some edits depict NuCob as Cobson's son.[20]
Rapeson
Main Article: Rapeson
Rapeson, also known as Evilson is an ominous subvariant of Cobson that was first posted on /soy/ on August 15th, 2022. He is commonly depicted as a disturbingly evil character that commits acts of extreme cruelty, such as rape and murder of children.[21][22][23]
Female Cobson
Female Cobson is a blanket term for female edits of Cobson. Most of them are shitty NAS dust but there are a few IAS edits.
Spadeson
Main article: Spadeson
Vantablack coal used mainly for racebaiting. Popular on the booru to the surprise of nobody.

Nig, originally Cob 2, is a subvariant of Cobson traced from the guy on Rome: Total War's cover art. The name was decided in a thread where dubs named him and Nig got dubs twice. He is the cousin of Cobson[He just is, ok?]
In Popular Culture
Cobson was subtly referenced in the 2022 movie The Batman[25]
Cobson is also the name of a French indie band.[26] Jewgle won't give me any more info on them (possibly CIA intervention), so no source is available. (Even though the band has a biography on lastfm you selfish little fuck) [27]
A slowburn, thought-provoking, no cheap-jumpscares video game called Five Nights at Cobson's was announced to be in development in order to honor Cobson.[28] A trailer was released[29]. The game featured Cobson and variants as enemies and characters in FNAC. With the usual detractors for any game, it's generally agreed that Cobson was represented fairly.
