Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:03,570
- [Narrator] Memes who doesn't love them?
2
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:07,380
From the dankes image macros,
to your mom's Facebook memes.
3
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:08,880
There's something for everyone.
4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,860
Yet what we tend to forget is that memes
5
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:15,060
are often real people with real lives.
6
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:16,890
So what's it like being a meme?
7
00:00:16,890 --> 00:00:19,350
How does one become a meme?
8
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:22,260
And what happens after
you've become a meme?
9
00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:23,093
Let's find out,
10
00:00:23,093 --> 00:00:26,972
as we take a look at some
famous memes then and now.
11
00:00:26,972 --> 00:00:29,722
(cheerful music)
12
00:00:32,220 --> 00:00:33,990
Bad Luck Brian!
13
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,420
Let's take a trip back to 2012.
14
00:00:36,420 --> 00:00:39,120
You were probably still
poking around on Facebook,
15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,400
while also being completely convinced
16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,170
that the world's about to end.
17
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:44,790
It was probably about this time
18
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:48,900
when you first saw Kyle
Craven's 2005 year book photo
19
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,230
or as it were Bad Luck Brian.
20
00:00:52,230 --> 00:00:56,220
This was of course, the meme
that shows a brace-faced teen
21
00:00:56,220 --> 00:00:59,490
who according to the
captions often finds himself
22
00:00:59,490 --> 00:01:02,670
in hilariously humiliating situations.
23
00:01:02,670 --> 00:01:07,020
Like throwing his own birthday
party and not being invited.
24
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:09,000
Despite the memes central focus
25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,700
experiencing some awful hypotheticals.
26
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:15,660
The real-life Kyle actually
has a great sense of humor.
27
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:17,400
He was in on the joke from the start,
28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,980
having posed with an
intentionally goofy smile
29
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:21,660
for this yearbook photo.
30
00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:23,430
Little did Kyle know however,
31
00:01:23,430 --> 00:01:25,770
that his intentionally terrible portrait
32
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:28,740
would give birth to a little baby Brian,
33
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:32,040
who become one of the greatest memes ever.
34
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,610
Half a decade after the photo
had been taken, it's 2012,
35
00:01:35,610 --> 00:01:39,270
and Kyle's school-chum,
Ian Davies makes a meme
36
00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:42,000
from the photo and uploads it to Reddit.
37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,670
Ian created the character
of an unlucky guy,
38
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:48,000
hence the subsequent name, Bad Luck Brian.
39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,270
Ian's original meme
joked about getting a DUI
40
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:52,770
on a driving test,
41
00:01:52,770 --> 00:01:56,310
but it wasn't until another
Reddit user recaption the photo
42
00:01:56,310 --> 00:02:00,420
with a trusty'ol poop joke
that Bad Luck Brian began
43
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:03,120
to capture the internet's imagination,
44
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,100
with millions of people sharing
jokes at Brian's expense.
45
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:11,640
Now, 16 years on and
the man behind the meme,
46
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,310
Kyle Craven is all grown up.
47
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:15,570
From getting his braces off
48
00:02:15,570 --> 00:02:18,360
to even having a wife and two kids,
49
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,420
it seems things aren't so bad after all.
50
00:02:21,420 --> 00:02:23,730
After his school days,
Kyle went on to graduate
51
00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:25,260
in construction management,
52
00:02:25,260 --> 00:02:28,620
which serves him well at his
father's construction company.
53
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:31,350
What's more, his infamous
yearbook photo really
54
00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:33,660
has proven to be the money-shot,
55
00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:36,780
as he's secured countless
merchandising deals.
56
00:02:36,780 --> 00:02:39,480
From board games and Walmart T-shirts
57
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,870
to even featuring and
McDonald's online marketing.
58
00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:46,833
It seems lady-luck really
is on Brian's side now.
59
00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:50,760
Success Kid!
60
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,810
A magnificent vintage meme, Success Kid.
61
00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:57,750
Ranking among other
dust-covered meme ancestors,
62
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:59,610
like Bad Luck Brian.
63
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:01,800
Success Kid is just one of those memes
64
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,250
that speaks to a bygone era of memology.
65
00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:08,970
Yet it lives on as one
of the founding fathers.
66
00:03:08,970 --> 00:03:10,680
It began in 2007,
67
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,910
with a snapshot of 11-month-old
Sammy Griner at the beach
68
00:03:14,910 --> 00:03:18,300
with a fistful of sand
and a faced full of pride,
69
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:20,670
the meme was hatched.
70
00:03:20,670 --> 00:03:24,000
Sammy's mom, Lainey,
uploaded the photo to Flickr
71
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,190
where it was initially perceived as a kid
72
00:03:26,190 --> 00:03:28,470
who hates sandcastles.
73
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:31,560
However, the focus soon
shifted to his proud faced
74
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,700
and pumped fist, which matched
perfectly with text prompts
75
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:37,890
about small personal victories,
76
00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:40,620
leading to the name Success Kid.
77
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,960
In 2012, the photo was licensed
78
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,720
and has since brought the
family considerable revenue
79
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,210
through a range of merchandising deals.
80
00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:51,210
Not only that, but the meme is so powerful
81
00:03:51,210 --> 00:03:53,430
that it's even saved a life.
82
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:56,430
Yep, in 2015 Sammy's dad, Justin,
83
00:03:56,430 --> 00:03:58,800
was in need of a kidney transplant.
84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,090
And by the power of the meme,
85
00:04:00,090 --> 00:04:04,230
the family raised over
$100,000 for the surgery
86
00:04:04,230 --> 00:04:05,940
on a GoFundMe page.
87
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:08,970
Now, that's what I call Success Kid.
88
00:04:08,970 --> 00:04:12,990
Sammy is now 15 and looks
a whole lot different.
89
00:04:12,990 --> 00:04:15,270
And beside being Success Kid,
90
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:19,170
these days he's also cool
kid, as he enjoys art, music,
91
00:04:19,170 --> 00:04:20,610
and skateboarding.
92
00:04:20,610 --> 00:04:23,763
No word on whether he still
hates sandcastles, though.
93
00:04:25,650 --> 00:04:27,543
Overly Attached Girlfriend.
94
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,750
Justin Bieber.
95
00:04:30,750 --> 00:04:33,870
Isn't he so dreamy?
96
00:04:33,870 --> 00:04:36,570
Oh, I mean lame.
97
00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:38,160
So lame.
98
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,730
Anyway, did you know that
he's kinda responsible
99
00:04:41,730 --> 00:04:44,100
for one of the greatest memes ever?
100
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:45,750
Picture this, it's 2012.
101
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:48,060
Hormonal teens swoon in the masses
102
00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:51,003
for Bieber they call
themselves, Beliebers.
103
00:04:52,410 --> 00:04:54,210
Where did you get that picture?
104
00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:57,180
Anyway, J.B. held a competition where fans
105
00:04:57,180 --> 00:05:00,180
could parody his hit song "Boyfriend,"
106
00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:02,790
but from the perspective
of the girlfriend.
107
00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:06,600
This inspired then
21-year-old Laina Morris
108
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,110
to create an overly-attached
girlfriend parody.
109
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:14,250
With wide-eyes and a
wider, unnerving grin,
110
00:05:14,250 --> 00:05:17,100
Laina's parody about obsessively stalking
111
00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:20,850
and controlling her boyfriend
rapidly became viral,
112
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:25,440
amassing more than 170,000
views in its first day.
113
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,390
And it wasn't long before screenshots
114
00:05:27,390 --> 00:05:29,130
of Laina's face were characterized
115
00:05:29,130 --> 00:05:33,120
to the Overly Attached
Girlfriend memes we know today.
116
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,830
But where is Laina now?
117
00:05:34,830 --> 00:05:36,840
Locking men up in her basement?
118
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:41,220
Not quite, the now 30-year-old
has hung up the old wide-eyes
119
00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:43,800
and murder you in your sleep smile.
120
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,400
For eight years, she rode
the wave of YouTube success,
121
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,950
but in a video titled
Breaking Up with You...
122
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:53,280
Tube, uploaded July, 2019,
123
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,550
she said farewell, revealing
the toll content creating
124
00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:58,710
had taken on her mental health.
125
00:05:58,710 --> 00:06:01,710
But the hustle wasn't over,
cashing in on her meme,
126
00:06:01,710 --> 00:06:04,260
Laina managed to sell the macro image
127
00:06:04,260 --> 00:06:07,117
as an NFT in April, 2021 for $411,000.
128
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:12,960
And if you're wondering, what is an NFT?
129
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,080
It's essentially a
digital signature or token
130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,380
that the creator can assign to
their intellectual property,
131
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:22,290
officially certifying it as the original.
132
00:06:22,290 --> 00:06:25,500
Although, how meaningful
paying to own the original copy
133
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:29,820
of a meme that can be downloaded
online for free is well
134
00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:31,980
that's up to you to decide.
135
00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:35,670
NFTs aside, Laina is still
very much active on Instagram,
136
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:37,830
and aside from short comedy skits,
137
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:41,220
she blesses the world with
regular picks of her dogs,
138
00:06:41,220 --> 00:06:42,870
Gilly and Biscuit.
139
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:47,040
And I have to say, being an
Overly Attached Dog Mom seems
140
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,140
a much healthier option than the meme
141
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:50,433
that made her famous.
142
00:06:52,410 --> 00:06:54,510
Disaster Girl.
143
00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:55,350
If you've ever wondered
144
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:58,740
what happens if you don't buy
cookies from the girl scouts
145
00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:02,130
who knock on your door,
then look no further.
146
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:03,840
Jokes aside, the girl pictured
147
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,090
in this classic disaster girl meme
148
00:07:06,090 --> 00:07:11,090
is actually 5-year-old Zoe
Roth, who to my knowledge
149
00:07:11,190 --> 00:07:14,100
is neither a girl scout nor firestarter.
150
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:15,840
In a Buzzfeed interview,
151
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,900
the now 22-year-old
revealed the true origins
152
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:22,290
of the hilariously sinister-looking image.
153
00:07:22,290 --> 00:07:23,700
She explained that someone
154
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:26,490
in her neighborhood wanted
to clear their land.
155
00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:28,830
So they donated their
house to the fire brigade
156
00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:30,330
for a test burn.
157
00:07:30,330 --> 00:07:32,820
Zoe's dad, an amateur photographer,
158
00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:34,830
saw this as a perfect photo-op,
159
00:07:34,830 --> 00:07:37,800
and asked Zoe to pose
in front of the house.
160
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,940
Fast forward to 2008, and
his photo won a competition
161
00:07:41,940 --> 00:07:44,790
in the JPG photography magazine.
162
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:46,770
Having gained attention from this,
163
00:07:46,770 --> 00:07:48,630
it began to circulate the internet
164
00:07:48,630 --> 00:07:52,860
with humorous fake context
added by text overlays.
165
00:07:52,860 --> 00:07:56,910
Before the Roths knew it,
the photo had gone viral.
166
00:07:56,910 --> 00:07:59,850
Going by the memes, you
might assume Zoe now resides
167
00:07:59,850 --> 00:08:01,770
in a Women's House of Detention.
168
00:08:01,770 --> 00:08:03,540
But she's actually a graduate
169
00:08:03,540 --> 00:08:05,880
of the University of North Carolina,
170
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,380
after ironically studying
peace, war, and defense.
171
00:08:10,380 --> 00:08:12,180
Not only that, but she's even managed
172
00:08:12,180 --> 00:08:17,180
to strike a $486,716 fortune
after selling her meme
173
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:21,540
as an NFT back in April, 2021.
174
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:23,400
Seems like a lot to pay, sure,
175
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,690
but would you dare to say
no to that fiery gaze?
176
00:08:27,690 --> 00:08:29,253
I think not!
177
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:33,750
Side-Eyeing Chloe!
178
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:36,870
Disgusted, confusion, anger.
179
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:39,900
That's exactly how you
want your kid to react
180
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,990
when you surprise them with
a Disneyland trip, right?
181
00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:46,650
Well, back in 2013, 2-year-old Chloe Clem
182
00:08:46,650 --> 00:08:48,480
became a viral meme
183
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,840
due to her relatable side-eye expression.
184
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,990
After being told the news that
she was going to Disneyland,
185
00:08:54,990 --> 00:08:58,020
Chloe glared into the soul of the internet
186
00:08:58,020 --> 00:09:01,890
in a video that now boasts
over 20 million views.
187
00:09:01,890 --> 00:09:05,370
Now, while it's more likely,
Chloe was just startled
188
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:08,100
rather than angered by the revelation.
189
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:11,370
Her reaction still made
for great meme material
190
00:09:11,370 --> 00:09:14,430
and was made into a GIF by Tumblr users.
191
00:09:14,430 --> 00:09:16,920
This was brought to wider
attention soon after
192
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,480
in a Buzzfeed article,
193
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,440
and thus the side-eyeing
Chloe meme was born.
194
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,070
But has Chloe managed to
turn that frown upside-down?
195
00:09:26,070 --> 00:09:29,130
Well, the now 11-year-old
is doing regular things
196
00:09:29,130 --> 00:09:31,770
for her age, like making slime,
197
00:09:31,770 --> 00:09:33,750
with updates occasionally being shared
198
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:36,060
on the YouTube channel run by her mom.
199
00:09:36,060 --> 00:09:38,460
Then speaking of Chloe's mom,
200
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:41,580
going by this recreation of
her daughter's famous photo,
201
00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:43,890
you can see where Chloe gets it from.
202
00:09:43,890 --> 00:09:46,110
What's more, the pair of
hatched a cunning plan
203
00:09:46,110 --> 00:09:49,290
to capitalize on Chloe's
signature side-eye.
204
00:09:49,290 --> 00:09:51,840
They plan to take their
meme to the NFT market
205
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,140
with bids starting at $15,000.
206
00:09:55,140 --> 00:09:57,000
And while mom wants to use the money
207
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,800
to put Chloe through college,
208
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,770
Chloe says she'd like to
use the money to buy a pony
209
00:10:01,770 --> 00:10:05,040
and ironically build her own Disney World,
210
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,360
which just goes to show,
211
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,150
even someone with a reaction
as bitterly disgusted
212
00:10:09,150 --> 00:10:12,933
as side-eye Chloe can have
a change of heart over time.
213
00:10:14,910 --> 00:10:16,560
Nyan Cat.
214
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,620
In early 2011, our meme-cestors were yet
215
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:23,850
to imagine a flying,
rainbow-farting, Pop-Tart cat.
216
00:10:23,850 --> 00:10:26,010
But for the greater good of mankind,
217
00:10:26,010 --> 00:10:28,350
that was all about to change.
218
00:10:28,350 --> 00:10:32,070
2011's very own Michelangelo, Chris Torres
219
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:35,760
has since explained how it
began with a charity fundraiser.
220
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,130
He was taking part in a drawing livestream
221
00:10:38,130 --> 00:10:40,320
where viewers could make requests.
222
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,750
As they hurled different
words towards him,
223
00:10:42,750 --> 00:10:45,240
he decided to make an
amalgamation of them all,
224
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,840
which resulted in a
rainbow-farting Pop-Tart cat.
225
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,930
The doodle was great, but
as he slept that night,
226
00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:55,950
Chris literally had dreams of
taking it to the next level.
227
00:10:55,950 --> 00:10:57,930
He claims as soon as he woke up,
228
00:10:57,930 --> 00:11:01,530
he began creating the
8-bit animation we now know
229
00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:03,150
as Nyan Cat.
230
00:11:03,150 --> 00:11:06,090
And the best part is,
barring its Pop-Tart body
231
00:11:06,090 --> 00:11:08,880
and flying abilities, the cat was inspired
232
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,700
by Chris' own Russian Blue, Marty.
233
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:15,240
The good news is that Chris
also recently sold the meme
234
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,240
as an NFT, raking in a whopping $587,000.
235
00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:24,060
The bad news, however, is
that in November, 2012, Marty,
236
00:11:24,060 --> 00:11:27,420
the muse for Nyan Cat, sadly passed away.
237
00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:28,770
Though I'd like to think
238
00:11:28,770 --> 00:11:31,983
that he's somewhere up
there still flying high.
239
00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:36,180
Charlie Bit My Finger.
240
00:11:36,180 --> 00:11:39,870
These days, YouTube is
overflowing with content.
241
00:11:39,870 --> 00:11:41,820
Heck, it's what keeps me in a job.
242
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:44,430
Yet in the olden days of YouTube,
243
00:11:44,430 --> 00:11:47,310
watching a baby bite his
older brother's finger
244
00:11:47,310 --> 00:11:49,950
was enough to keep us
entertained for hours.
245
00:11:49,950 --> 00:11:54,720
In May, 2007, British
father, Howard Davies-Carr,
246
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,320
uploaded a video of his two
sons, Harry and Charlie,
247
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,930
as a way to keep in touch
with their godfather
248
00:12:00,930 --> 00:12:02,490
who lived in America.
249
00:12:02,490 --> 00:12:03,720
The hilarious video,
250
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,750
which centers around Harry
getting his finger bitten
251
00:12:06,750 --> 00:12:09,450
by Charlie quickly caught more
252
00:12:09,450 --> 00:12:12,240
than just their Godfather's attention.
253
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,130
As it gained 92 million
views in its first two years.
254
00:12:17,130 --> 00:12:21,120
It became the platform's
most viewed video in 2009
255
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,910
with 130 million views.
256
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:26,010
As of mid-2021,
257
00:12:26,010 --> 00:12:31,010
the video had snapped up a
mind-blowing 886 million views.
258
00:12:31,950 --> 00:12:35,820
But what are things like for
the Davies-Carr family now?
259
00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:37,980
Well, the boys are all grown up.
260
00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:40,680
Charlie the finger chopper is now 14
261
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:43,890
and Harry the finger chompee 17.
262
00:12:43,890 --> 00:12:47,190
Neither have delved into
a career of cannibalism.
263
00:12:47,190 --> 00:12:48,330
They're still at school,
264
00:12:48,330 --> 00:12:50,700
so we're yet to see what they'll pursue.
265
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:53,820
Though Charlie has enjoyed
his taste of internet fame
266
00:12:53,820 --> 00:12:56,250
and plans to become a vlogger,
267
00:12:56,250 --> 00:12:59,730
while Harry likes the idea
of becoming an engineer.
268
00:12:59,730 --> 00:13:03,240
In May, 2021, the family
sold the video as an NFT
269
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,313
for a staggering $760,999.
270
00:13:09,150 --> 00:13:13,290
Coincidentally to the same guy
who also bought Disaster Girl
271
00:13:13,290 --> 00:13:15,150
and Overly Attached Girlfriend,
272
00:13:15,150 --> 00:13:18,270
removing it from YouTube
as part of the process.
273
00:13:18,270 --> 00:13:21,570
And while memes may seem
like a dumb purchase,
274
00:13:21,570 --> 00:13:23,220
like precious artworks,
275
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:25,680
they're predicted by
some to hold their value
276
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,200
and become more valuable over time.
277
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,850
Though if you ask me,
278
00:13:29,850 --> 00:13:32,100
that's a mighty fine
Picasso collection you have
279
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:36,660
will always sound slightly more
impressive than, "Damm son,
280
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:38,667
then some tasty memes."
281
00:13:40,410 --> 00:13:43,170
Have You Ever Had A Dream?
282
00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:46,440
If memes were poetry,
then this next entry,
283
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,090
one of my personal favorites
284
00:13:48,090 --> 00:13:50,280
would be the work of Shakespeare.
285
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,800
But I'll let the video do the talking.
286
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,800
- Have you ever had a
dreams that you had, you'll,
287
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,223
you would, you could, you'll do,
288
00:14:00,223 --> 00:14:03,869
you would, you want, you, you could do so.
289
00:14:03,869 --> 00:14:08,820
You, you do, you could, you
want him to do, you so much,
290
00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:10,920
you could do anything?
291
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,900
- [Narrator] Couldn't
have put it better myself.
292
00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:17,900
This means origins began in
1999 when an HBO production
293
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:21,007
for a video adaptation
of the children's book
294
00:14:21,007 --> 00:14:24,600
"Goodnight Moon" visited
a little lad named
295
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,900
Joe Cirkiel's school to audition kids.
296
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:29,970
Joe was keen to audition,
297
00:14:29,970 --> 00:14:33,030
but when interviewed things took a turn.
298
00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:36,330
When asked about dreams, Joe
attempted to reference a line
299
00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:39,330
from one of his favorite
movies, "Hercules."
300
00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:41,130
- Haven't you ever had a dream,
301
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:44,010
something you wanted so
bad, you do anything?
302
00:14:44,010 --> 00:14:47,550
- Though Joe's interpretation
was hardly Oscar-worthy.
303
00:14:47,550 --> 00:14:49,500
After being invited to the screening,
304
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:51,780
Joe was surprised to see that his audition
305
00:14:51,780 --> 00:14:53,790
had been used as a blooper.
306
00:14:53,790 --> 00:14:56,460
The audience erupted into laughter,
307
00:14:56,460 --> 00:14:59,580
but Joe was left woefully embarrassed.
308
00:14:59,580 --> 00:15:01,998
12 years later in 2011,
309
00:15:01,998 --> 00:15:04,920
YouTuber, lololark uploaded the clip,
310
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,110
and since then it has been reposted
311
00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:10,710
and gained over 78 million views.
312
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:13,500
But what's this little dreamer doing now?
313
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:15,330
According to his LinkedIn profile,
314
00:15:15,330 --> 00:15:20,250
Joe is now founder for his own
company, Far East Coast LLC,
315
00:15:20,250 --> 00:15:22,260
where he successfully works generating
316
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:25,140
and signal boosting social media content,
317
00:15:25,140 --> 00:15:27,360
which goes to show, if
you ever have a dream
318
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,280
that, that you, you had,
you, you what, you, you...
319
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,113
I gave up.
320
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,840
Blinking White Guy.
321
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,330
If you looked up the
expression what the heck,
322
00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:40,800
you'd probably be presented
323
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,950
with a picture of Drew Scanlon's face,
324
00:15:43,950 --> 00:15:46,560
or rather Blinking White Guy.
325
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,960
It is after all the most accurate display
326
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,530
of bafflement humanity
has produced to date.
327
00:15:52,530 --> 00:15:53,880
But as memes often are,
328
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,460
it was a string of unrelated events
329
00:15:56,460 --> 00:16:00,060
that led to the inception
of this classic meme.
330
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:03,360
It's 2013 and Drew makes
his routine appearance
331
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,970
on the YouTube channel, GiantBomb.
332
00:16:05,970 --> 00:16:07,980
While playing the game, Starbound,
333
00:16:07,980 --> 00:16:09,877
one of the players commentates,
334
00:16:09,877 --> 00:16:12,780
"I've been doing some
farming with my hoe."
335
00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:15,840
It was this double-entendre
that prompted Drew
336
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,960
to perform his iconic blinks.
337
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,050
The meme is first thought
to have been used in 2015
338
00:16:22,050 --> 00:16:26,730
in a comment on NeoGAF, a
video game discussion forum.
339
00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:31,050
It wasn't until 2017 that
the meme spiked in popularity
340
00:16:31,050 --> 00:16:32,790
when it began being repurposed
341
00:16:32,790 --> 00:16:35,280
for various reactions on Twitter.
342
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,060
These days, almost a decade
since the original video aired,
343
00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:43,260
Drew looks a little different
with grown out hair and beard,
344
00:16:43,260 --> 00:16:46,260
plus of course, a little bit of age,
345
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:48,870
Drew doesn't get recognized very often.
346
00:16:48,870 --> 00:16:51,480
He even says most folks
don't realize he's the guy
347
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,130
from the famous meme.
348
00:16:53,130 --> 00:16:56,730
But with great meme comes
great responsibility.
349
00:16:56,730 --> 00:17:01,730
And Drew used his meme gained
fame to raise over $78,000
350
00:17:01,770 --> 00:17:04,920
for the national Multiple
Sclerosis Society.
351
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,073
Proving that everything
can change in a blink.
352
00:17:09,930 --> 00:17:12,060
Distracted Boyfriend.
353
00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:14,640
If you type famous memes into Google,
354
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,900
one of the first ones you'll see
355
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:18,630
is none other than Distracted Boyfriend.
356
00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:22,290
A true masterpiece gifted
to us by stock photography.
357
00:17:22,290 --> 00:17:25,710
Created by stock photographer
and Antonio Guillem,
358
00:17:25,710 --> 00:17:28,260
the photo was taken in 2015.
359
00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:29,850
In an interview with Wired,
360
00:17:29,850 --> 00:17:32,340
Guillem said he planned to create a series
361
00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:35,280
of stock photos exploring in fidelity,
362
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,490
but in a playful and fun way.
363
00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:41,880
Fast forward to 2017 and the
Shutterstock image was posted
364
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,480
to a Turkish progressive
rock Facebook group.
365
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,650
The meme centered around Phil
Collins favoring pop music
366
00:17:49,650 --> 00:17:51,540
over progressive rock.
367
00:17:51,540 --> 00:17:54,150
And it was from there that
Distracted Boyfriend came
368
00:17:54,150 --> 00:17:57,330
to symbolize preference
for something you want,
369
00:17:57,330 --> 00:17:59,820
over something you already have.
370
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:02,550
Upon discovering they'd been meme-ed,
371
00:18:02,550 --> 00:18:06,540
the models and Guillem were
astonished by its virality.
372
00:18:06,540 --> 00:18:10,590
With Guillem even claiming
to not know what a meme was.
373
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:13,620
Little is known about
where the models are now,
374
00:18:13,620 --> 00:18:17,580
but when they are is an
entirely different question.
375
00:18:17,580 --> 00:18:19,170
Allow me to explain.
376
00:18:19,170 --> 00:18:21,660
In a weird glitch of the matrix,
377
00:18:21,660 --> 00:18:24,120
people have discovered a vintage edition
378
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,100
of Distracted Boyfriend.
379
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:30,690
The shot comes from Charlie
Chaplin's 1922 film, "Pay Day,"
380
00:18:30,690 --> 00:18:33,300
and the resemblance is uncanny.
381
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:34,320
Time traveler not,
382
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,590
it's clear to see no
matter the time or place,
383
00:18:37,590 --> 00:18:39,930
human beings never quite seem satisfied
384
00:18:39,930 --> 00:18:41,330
with what they already have.
385
00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:45,450
Hide the Pain Harold.
386
00:18:45,450 --> 00:18:46,830
In the land of the memes,
387
00:18:46,830 --> 00:18:50,610
stock photography really is
the gift that keeps on giving.
388
00:18:50,610 --> 00:18:54,990
And if you ask me, András
Arató's series of stock photos
389
00:18:54,990 --> 00:18:57,570
or should I say, Hide the Pain Harold
390
00:18:57,570 --> 00:18:59,910
is the eighth wonder of the world.
391
00:18:59,910 --> 00:19:03,030
While on holiday, Andras
uploaded a few selfies
392
00:19:03,030 --> 00:19:04,470
to social media,
393
00:19:04,470 --> 00:19:06,720
which caught the attention
of a stock photographer
394
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,910
who was clearly after a someone
395
00:19:08,910 --> 00:19:11,850
is pointing a gun at me, kinda smile.
396
00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:13,770
After tracking Andras down,
397
00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:16,050
they produced hundreds of stock photos,
398
00:19:16,050 --> 00:19:18,870
which showed Andras in
a variety of situations
399
00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:20,520
and occupations.
400
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,010
Andras later explained how he became tired
401
00:19:23,010 --> 00:19:25,140
of having to smile during the shoots,
402
00:19:25,140 --> 00:19:26,730
which is why his smile looks
403
00:19:26,730 --> 00:19:29,520
like it's causing him grave pain.
404
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,500
While the first use of these images
405
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,570
can be traced back to 2011.
406
00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:35,520
The fictional character Harold
407
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,430
is thought to have been born in 2014.
408
00:19:38,430 --> 00:19:43,020
In a 4chan thread that year,
users created a narrative
409
00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:46,620
about an unhappy and silently hateful man,
410
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:49,170
who is working as a
stock-photography model,
411
00:19:49,170 --> 00:19:52,470
spawning the nickname
Hide the Pain Harold.
412
00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:54,660
When Andras initially discovered people
413
00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:56,700
were taking his photos out of context
414
00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:58,650
and adding funny text,
415
00:19:58,650 --> 00:20:03,510
he wasn't best pleased
stating, "I'm not a funny guy."
416
00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:05,040
Though upon reflection,
417
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,230
Andras now takes it in his stride
418
00:20:07,230 --> 00:20:09,870
and embraces his memes status.
419
00:20:09,870 --> 00:20:13,200
He says that he sees the joy
he brings to people's lives
420
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,620
and how happy they are when
they spot him in public.
421
00:20:16,620 --> 00:20:20,913
And with a smile that
infectious, it's no surprise.
422
00:20:21,870 --> 00:20:22,990
Please kill me.
423
00:20:26,095 --> 00:20:27,390
Doge.
424
00:20:27,390 --> 00:20:32,010
The story of Doge is truly
one of rags to riches.
425
00:20:32,010 --> 00:20:34,500
After being born at a Japanese puppy farm
426
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,230
that was eventually
shutdown by the authorities,
427
00:20:37,230 --> 00:20:40,500
this Shiba Inu was sent
to the animal shelter.
428
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:42,420
It was there that she would be adopted
429
00:20:42,420 --> 00:20:47,420
and named Kabosu by her
new mom, Atsuko Satō.
430
00:20:47,556 --> 00:20:51,450
In 2010, Atsuko uploaded photos of Kabosu
431
00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:55,800
to her personal blog, though
there was one particular shot
432
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,020
that grabbed people's attention.
433
00:20:58,020 --> 00:21:02,910
The name Doge was first assigned
to the cute pooch in 2010,
434
00:21:02,910 --> 00:21:05,460
after a Reddit user reposted the photo
435
00:21:05,460 --> 00:21:07,560
with the intentional misspelling,
436
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,530
to a small, but positive response.
437
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:14,100
Then in 2012, more photos
of Kabosu were posted
438
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:17,220
to the Tumblr blog Shiba Confessions
439
00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:19,980
where they were overlayed
with broken English phrases
440
00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:24,980
in Comic Sans, such as wow, and so scare.
441
00:21:25,140 --> 00:21:27,480
These phrases seem to fit the inner mind
442
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,640
of a dog bizarrely well,
443
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,580
and the meme's popularity
began to increase.
444
00:21:32,580 --> 00:21:34,800
It was in August, 2013 though,
445
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,100
when for some reason a
group of 4chan users rated
446
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:42,480
the tongue-in-cheek
patriotic subreddit r/Murica
447
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,940
with dozens of images of Doge
448
00:21:44,940 --> 00:21:48,000
that things began to really take off.
449
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,510
And unlike previous clashes
between Reddit and 4chan,
450
00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:55,770
there was little opposition,
the meme instead being embraced
451
00:21:55,770 --> 00:21:59,490
and spreading across
the web like wildfire.
452
00:21:59,490 --> 00:22:00,900
Since her rise to fame,
453
00:22:00,900 --> 00:22:04,080
Doge has not only entered
the hearts of millions,
454
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,060
but the cryptocurrency market.
455
00:22:06,060 --> 00:22:08,730
In case you've been living
under a rock, Bitcoin,
456
00:22:08,730 --> 00:22:10,560
the original cryptocurrency
457
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,620
is essentially a digital
currency that can be exchanged
458
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,180
for traditional money.
459
00:22:15,180 --> 00:22:18,720
And in 2013 software
engineers, Billy Markus
460
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,110
and Jackson Palmer created
their own cryptocurrency
461
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:23,970
with Dogecoin.
462
00:22:23,970 --> 00:22:27,840
Yep, Doge is basically
royalty, her face plastered
463
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,090
on her own virtual penny.
464
00:22:30,090 --> 00:22:35,090
In November, 2021, the O.G.
Doge, Kabosu, turned 16
465
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,720
as she celebrated with her
375,000 Instagram followers.
466
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:45,153
Wow, so fame, such like, Doge big star.
467
00:22:47,070 --> 00:22:47,903
Gavin.
468
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,190
2013, a simpler time back
when Vine still existed.
469
00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:54,630
And for all you Gen-Z-ers,
470
00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:57,630
Vine was essentially the TikTok of my day.
471
00:22:57,630 --> 00:22:59,670
Many stars rose on the platform,
472
00:22:59,670 --> 00:23:03,480
but none more meme
worthy than Gavin Thomas.
473
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,590
Making his debut in 2013, when
he was just two and a half.
474
00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:12,180
Gavin found fame through his
uncle, Nick Mastodon's Vines.
475
00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:15,900
His cameos on Nick's Vine
account were extremely popular,
476
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:19,260
thanks to his hilariously
expressive facial expressions
477
00:23:19,260 --> 00:23:22,140
and the occasional seemingly fake smile
478
00:23:22,140 --> 00:23:25,080
that could rival Hide the
Pain Harold's at times.
479
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,530
Naturally, people in their
droves began turning screenshots
480
00:23:28,530 --> 00:23:32,190
of Gavin into memes, usually
with the text mentioning
481
00:23:32,190 --> 00:23:34,290
some uncomfortable situation
482
00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:36,510
that matched Gavin's expressions.
483
00:23:36,510 --> 00:23:38,910
Gavin's mom, Kate, later explained
484
00:23:38,910 --> 00:23:42,660
how she never expected any
of the extensive popularity,
485
00:23:42,660 --> 00:23:45,270
but that it was great to
see so many people show love
486
00:23:45,270 --> 00:23:46,710
for her son.
487
00:23:46,710 --> 00:23:50,550
These days, Gavin is looking
a little more mature.
488
00:23:50,550 --> 00:23:53,910
A now 9-year-old boy, we
can assume he's grown out
489
00:23:53,910 --> 00:23:56,790
of those adorable Ninja Turtles pyjamies.
490
00:23:56,790 --> 00:24:00,660
He's also acquired an
astonishing 1.6 million followers
491
00:24:00,660 --> 00:24:03,600
on his own Instagram, where
he keeps his fans happy
492
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,010
with regular Gavin content,
often co-starring his chickens.
493
00:24:08,010 --> 00:24:08,880
The great thing is,
494
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,130
now that he's approaching
his teenage years,
495
00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:13,080
when Gavin inevitably experiences
496
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,170
all those cringeworthy teen
moments everyone goes through
497
00:24:16,170 --> 00:24:19,620
in high school, he'll be able
to use his own baby photos
498
00:24:19,620 --> 00:24:21,723
for the perfect reaction gifts.
499
00:24:23,310 --> 00:24:25,470
Roll Safe.
500
00:24:25,470 --> 00:24:28,800
Like Gavin, Kayode Ewumi
is another meme legend
501
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,960
who found fame using Vine.
502
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,320
Kayode created the character Reece Smith,
503
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,090
who due to his initials
504
00:24:36,090 --> 00:24:39,390
had given himself the nickname Roll Safe.
505
00:24:39,390 --> 00:24:42,120
With his lisp and various shenanigans,
506
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:44,520
he was presented as a lovable idiot,
507
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,980
and unintentionally became a meme.
508
00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:49,710
Kayode's Vine character was such a hit
509
00:24:49,710 --> 00:24:52,380
that he accepted an offer
to develop Roll Safe
510
00:24:52,380 --> 00:24:55,470
in the form of an online
mockumentary series,
511
00:24:55,470 --> 00:24:57,420
produced by BBC.
512
00:24:57,420 --> 00:25:00,630
Yet there was one meme-able
moment in particular
513
00:25:00,630 --> 00:25:02,310
that stuck out.
514
00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:06,570
First screenshotted and
utilized as a text reaction shot
515
00:25:06,570 --> 00:25:10,110
by the FootyHumor Twitter account in 2016,
516
00:25:10,110 --> 00:25:13,770
a simple, yet impactful
grin and tap on the head
517
00:25:13,770 --> 00:25:17,940
is all it would take to blast
Roll Safe into meme royalty.
518
00:25:17,940 --> 00:25:22,380
The meme soon spread, being
used to express clever thinking,
519
00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:25,230
either as a gesture of outsmarting someone
520
00:25:25,230 --> 00:25:28,200
or sarcastically, when jokingly presenting
521
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,810
an obvious dumb idea as smart.
522
00:25:30,810 --> 00:25:34,770
By 2017, the meme had
rolled safe to success,
523
00:25:34,770 --> 00:25:38,490
but in 2022, what's Kayode doing now?
524
00:25:38,490 --> 00:25:42,390
Well, much to fans disappointment
Kayode never continued
525
00:25:42,390 --> 00:25:43,680
the Role Safe character,
526
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,920
even after reportedly being
offered big-bucks to do so.
527
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,980
Kayode's explained in
interviews how, in his view,
528
00:25:49,980 --> 00:25:53,250
leaving fans wanting more
would maintain the value
529
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:54,240
of the character.
530
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,660
Not only this, but his clear
comedic ability also left him
531
00:25:57,660 --> 00:26:00,360
in high demand, leading to other projects,
532
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:03,600
such as the BBC TV sitcom Enterprise,
533
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,180
which Kayode wrote and starred in.
534
00:26:06,180 --> 00:26:09,180
And nothing says Roll Safe
like the kind of outsmarting
535
00:26:09,180 --> 00:26:12,603
that elevates someone
from a meme to a TV star.
536
00:26:14,610 --> 00:26:16,260
Feel Old Yet?
537
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:18,510
Ironically, the very topic of this video,
538
00:26:18,510 --> 00:26:22,890
memes then and now has
itself become a meme.
539
00:26:22,890 --> 00:26:26,310
Therefore, I'd be remiss not
to delve into it a little.
540
00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:28,680
Often with the caption Feel Old Yet?
541
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,740
This variety of memes
shows both memes-stars
542
00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:36,180
and celebrities jokingly paired
with an older look-alike.
543
00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:38,880
The results, while completely fictional
544
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,620
can be pretty convincing.
545
00:26:40,620 --> 00:26:44,160
Though most of the time,
they're just hilarious.
546
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,600
That being said, I have to admit,
547
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,530
I'm still not convinced some
of these aren't the real deal.
548
00:26:49,530 --> 00:26:52,230
I mean, you're telling me
that Sid from Toy Story
549
00:26:52,230 --> 00:26:55,770
and actor Will Poulter
aren't the same person,
550
00:26:55,770 --> 00:26:58,500
just existing in alternate universes?
551
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:00,660
And whatever happened to
that peanut-butter baby
552
00:27:00,660 --> 00:27:02,790
that took Vine by storm?
553
00:27:02,790 --> 00:27:04,260
Well, what if I told you he grew up
554
00:27:04,260 --> 00:27:08,190
into YouTuber Rhett
McLaughlin, of Rhett and Link?
555
00:27:08,190 --> 00:27:09,390
I'd be lying, of course,
556
00:27:09,390 --> 00:27:11,880
but the resemblance is uncanny.
557
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,550
As for John Cena, he's so
committed to the whole,
558
00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:16,320
you can't see me bit.
559
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,480
He's now turned fully invisible.
560
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,830
And Draco Malfoy?
561
00:27:19,830 --> 00:27:21,570
Now I know this one's a stretch,
562
00:27:21,570 --> 00:27:23,430
but if hypothetically,
563
00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:25,920
Harry Potter and Draco
were to have a rap-battle,
564
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,463
let's just say I know
who I'd put my money on.
565
00:27:30,570 --> 00:27:31,440
I'd just like to clarify
566
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,810
that Malfoy isn't the real Slim-Shady.
567
00:27:33,810 --> 00:27:37,652
Although if he is, he
should probably stand up.
568
00:27:37,652 --> 00:27:38,485
(upbeat music)
569
00:27:38,485 --> 00:27:41,280
So which meme origin story
surprised you the most?
570
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,570
Let me know down in the comments
571
00:27:42,570 --> 00:27:44,660
and as always, thanks for watching!
572
00:27:44,660 --> 00:27:47,243
(upbeat music)
