Simple, informative, better than behind the meme in every way

To this very day I will never fucking understand what thought process goes through his mind (probably none but still).

Littearly 60 seconds of pure character, facts and reasoning. Not shitty 4 minute filler on video games or whatever.


What you are describing here is the “Harambe Effect”, named after the Harambe meme of 2016. The Harambe Effect (also called Harambe’s Law when viewed as a predictor) is when a meme’s dankness lifespan is drastically cut short due to normie usage, leaving the meme to have only been good for an almost insignificant amount of time. Many times, this drastic change from dank to dead is followed by a period of rejection, where the meme is ridiculed and hated by those who enjoyed it pre-normification. This then leads to the later recollection of the meme as being a bad one. The Harambe Effect is characterized by a sudden shift in the perception of the meme by the non-normies, the extremely short amount of time spent as a dank meme, and the total rejection of it after normification.

This first was made most prevalent with the case of the Harambe meme in 2016. The meme’s dankness has lasted about a month, from the beginnings of June to the middle of July. At that point, not long after the peak dankness with “dicks out for Harambe”, the meme got discovered by normies who disseminated it further beyond the limits of quality. After this, any mention of Harambe within meme circles was either met with the normie response of “oh that is a good meme” or the non-normie response of “that meme is dead so don’t mention it again”.

This same process has been repeated both in cases before the Harambe meme and in cases afterward. The Harambe meme was the first clear example of this effect taking place, and so was named after it. Also, the memes that most exemplify the Harambe Effect characteristic of lasting a short time came after Harambe, and so the Harambe meme can be considered the first true meme to suffer this effect. However, memes from previous years did suffer fates that fall under the Harambe Effect, though not in the same way as more modern memes.

Memes that have suffered the Harambe Effect include “Doge” (lasting at least 3 months), “Harlem Shake” (lasting only a few days before becoming a “trend” rather than a meme), “Impact Font/Top Text Bottom Text (not including the separate “Bottom Text” meme)” (lasting less than a year), and the more recent memes of “Somebody toucha my spaghet” (lasting less than a month) and “Ugandan Knuckles” (lasting no more than three weeks).

To date, Ugandan Knuckles is the meme to have lasted the shortest amount of time before normification, since by the 20-23 of January it was normified.

It is important to remember that a meme which has suffered the Harambe Effect should not be hated in the future. They, in their prime, were dank and were good. In a sense they were corrupted by normies, but they were not always in that corrupt state. We must look back and remember why the meme was funny to begin with and appreciate it as such, although we should rightly discard it from being used as a dank meme due to its normification.

Any other thoughts on the Harambe Effect?

My boi just wrote an essay on the harambe effect and got less than 500 likes bruh

Honestly wish EMPLemon pinned this, this is an documentary comment in mankind.

Good meme theory, but you're wrong about Ugandan Knuckles being the fastest meme to suffer normification. The Crash Bandicoot Woah! Meme is the fastest meme to date to suffer normification the quickest, not even lasting half a week.

imo a much better explanation than this video.

im personally quite disillusioned about this whole "meme community" shit, no wonder the normies are able to steal everything: most people here are whiners who don't really want to look into things and simply want to relish in their sense of their own snobbish "uniqueness".

memers are pretty flimsy and not very creative these days, that's really the only reason why there isn't a counterweight to normies.

when things don't work your way start working instead of sitting on your ass complaining to your mommy that the other kid stole your toy when you're an adult, for gods sake, and when most normies are literal kids.

people should suck it up and make good stuff instead of complaining, but it's like: if it blows up it ruins it, and if it doesn't its too much work for too little payoff... k? maybe stop having those stupid standards in the first place?

so yeah, reading a thought out comment kind of made me feel relieved, but honestly if memes are corrupted its cause the "community" is corrupted. not cuz of "normies".

Isaac Argesmith about what you said about the spaghet meme, have you seen flying kitty's spaghet + all star video? I think it's the best use of the spaghet meme because he actually sentenced mixed the original source which is impressive considering the fact that he only had a 6 minute episode to work with.

Thanks for sharing this information with me, traveller. I will now tell that to every normie I can find.

This is just my opinion on the situation but Id argue that Harambe was always a bad meme even before it got spammed. It was never good. A lot of the examples you mentioned kind of feel like either they were terrible from the start, like the harlem shake, or dont really even make sense to make memes in the first place like "somebody toucha my spaghet".

Things like "Somebody toucha my Spaghet" dont work as memes because for the most part they're just kind of one note jokes, and jokes like that dont have to and often dont translate into being memes. Their existance is fleating and designed for single time use and not transformative, multilayered meme use. Their simplicity makes them funny jokes but at the same time it makes it really hard to actually add to them or change them without losing what was funny about them or the creator's original intent and appeal.

Its the opposite problem of something like the harlem shake, which is made in a way where its easy to remix and reproduce and is made in a way where its easy to morph the original intent of the creator without losing the orignal intent of the creator. Only problem is the base that everyone is using is inherently unfunny and terrible so its quality hampers  any attempt from the get go from being funny, leading to a lot of terrible terrible remixes.

Then you got stuff like harambe which is the worst of them all, where it has the difficult to remix aspect of just regular jokes while also being unfunny like an actual unfunny meme, which just makes it a terrible joke turned terrible and forced meme. Harambe never really had much to work with and it took a lot of genuine effort to actually make it funny on top of being hard to work with since the base joke isn't even funny to begin with.

This was really well researched!

I think that the Ugandan Knuckles meme was just doomed to fail though. There's no real room for creativity, so of course, normies will just spam the same thing over and over. It really was better off as Knuckles Sings.

The main theme of these trending memes is that they're only funny for, like, the first three times. It's like repeating the same joke over and over without doing something new with it.

I wasn't aware that the Spaget meme is already going to shit though. Is it because of lack of creativity as well, or is it purely the Harambe effect?


I agree completely, it was really fun running around yelling with a bunch of other people in VR chat but outside of it the meme made no sense and it had no point, they tried to convert it to the usual meme format and that's what killed it

Extellus it was destined to be a inside joke
And the internet has a reputation of leaving almost no personal info behind
So it was destined to fail

Hristo  Kuymdjiev <br>You want to make a meme more cancerous while it already is?

I feel like the only way to make memes "normie proof" and protect them from getting ruined by said demographic is to make memes super racist and offensive. Even if the normies can handle that they usually won't repeat the meme much since the sites they use usually restrict such content. Kind of an Ironic comment  I guess since I wrote this on youtube.

Running into it was bizzare and crazy and made me think vrchat is full of surprises<br>Then I realized it wasnt after the 100th encounter with nothing new done to it. And with it online in chat forums it doesnt feel as special. We either need to do more with memes then repeat it till death or let it die if it could only be good as a first taste

This meme was getting really old, it could not adapt or evolve, unlike steamed hams.

There's a difference between video memes and phrase memes

PooDoo DrillDick
Just wait, it won't take too long before it gets recommended, every time.
I bet you would love seeing steamed hams but ITSA SPEEDRUN or ITS ALLSTARS .
Eventually it will reach to grandayy and then we'll see if you still enjoy it.

Pretty sad really. Didn't even fully get to experience the meme before I realised it had died.


WhyyoutubeWHY?! Yeah that was the joke. I don't know why people think repeating the punchline is funny.

There is also a town in Hungary called Tard

WhyyoutubeWHY?! Ur name fits the scenario perfectly


A meme that had a strong start but got stale real quickly


I'm a connoisseur of Knuckles memes and the fact that there can't be any new Knuckles edits without this abortion showing its corpse again fucking hurts me.

The Shitposting Spaghetti Monster What about when he killed himself with a tide pod in an animation by Sam green? That was pretty funny.

Any anti-steamed hams comment here better be bait or else...<br>I'll be mildly upset with your opinion, I guess.

Comparing Steamed Hams with any other meme that has originated anywhere this decade is like comparing God-incarnate with dirty peasants trying to impersonate.

The Shitposting Spaghetti Monster steamed hams is the actual best meme.


From gold to trash in two episodes,

That descended quickly (I’m talking about the meme not the video)


@jared schnider I didn't know there are peas in Discord.

Ded Snek the meme was funny a entire day so whatever

Funny how many people refer to you as a big youtuber cause of this one Video. Not awere that your Channel only blow up after you posted the video.

The worst part is that video was funny but attracted normies like a horror game.

Do you regret what you done wait you said you regret the video mutable times

The CrisGamer No, normies and really big yoututbers are responsible for the death of the humor in Uganda Knuckles

Wonder how Gregzilla feels about all this, too.

No offence, but you need a better profile pic. A yellow thing with large eyes isn't good-looking or original

Infact i would say both Knuckles Sings & Ugandan Knuckles died the same way thanks to being overly repetitive and exploitated, if there's another meme of that Knuckles design completly apart from Ugandan & Sings, it will repetitive and will die the same way.

TheCartoonGamer8000 Hes probably dead in a basement right now.

I recall him saying that he was tired of getting all the "HEY LOOK IT'S YOUR KNUCKLES AS A MEME" constantly but he doesn't necessarily mind people using it I think

I mean he sold merch off of it so

He made money off it so he's probably fine

After speaking with him a couple times, he usually reiterates this: "Oh well, memes will be memes and I have no control over it now," (not exact quotes) though he never actually expressed his genuine view on the exposure of it himself, just kinda accepted it existing.

He didn't animate it. It was on TrapChan's World I think where it was able to be obtained.
It was based on Gregzilla's Knuckles.

I actually am sad that literally everyone came to Knuckles when Gregzilla did his video. The knuckles meme is much much older... Or saying in Knuckle's famous words "Ohno!"

TherealScrable he animated the original, vrchat took it to the next step

TheCartoonGamer8000 he's apparently fine with it, as he even sold merch based on it, IIRC.

I can only imagine it has been nothing but awkward for him.


I liked the meme, but it just went downhill after a few days, and 2 weeks ago Behind The Meme finally killed it.<br>Edit: I wasn’t going to mention how it was already dead because I already knew but ok

ItzIronC
BTM putting the final bullet in Ugandan Knuckles was a fucking experience.

I Noticed "ELDERS REACT TO UGANDAN KNUCKLES MEMES" from Fine Brothers A.K.A. FBE popped up.

Behind the Meme didn't killed it, it was already dead, since a day afterwards, dragging VR Chat along it. there was still the another Meme, being Ernie Gang, but i dont see the joke of that one, and if it's not Uganda or Ernie then it's weebs, VR Chat just died.

Why is behind the meme anywhere in your vision?
His channels been dead for months now so I doubt its YouTube recommending it to you. Look, the sooner you stop checking in on his channel the sooner you can stop worrying about him making a video on something you like, which will only reach about 200k people anyways (and since the memes he makes videos on have to be in normie territory there's already millons of people how have seen this meme meaning its a very small dent, not to mention most if not all of his recurring veiwers eather just come to say "guess ____ is dead now lol" or have already encountered the meme and just want his half-assed explanation of it). And even if YouTube is recommending his shit to you, just look away and im sure thall be happy to take a channel that almost no one cares about anymore far, far away form you.

Yeah, that's when it started getting really annoying.

It was dead by january 10th to 15th. Sometime aroumd then.

It was already dead for 3 weeks by the time BTM made a video on it.


Besides, Sanic was revived as DLC clothing in Sonic Forces.

Sonic's Twitter (Video Game not Restaurant) is the only reason Sanic is being used anymore.  At least they're not normies.

Are we seriously forgetting the legends that were Pingas and "that's no good"?

*insert generic shitty comment about Emp not knowing da wae here*

You know, these ‘insert x here’ are becoming just as tiring

I literally didn’t know about this meme until a few weeks ago and when I first heard it was just really cringe. people saying “da wae” with no connection at all, one video I saw a person was having depression and someone just made a random da wae joke in the comments.

Like the guy said in the video it should have stayed to Gaming Videos only.

the "I used to be an adventure like you till I took an arrow to the knee" of 2018.

You know what? I actually like this series. It's quick, concise, gets straight to the point, and actually tells about the memes it's reviewing, unlike a certain meme killer...


this is such a great review. it's effective because it's short and sweet, but also leaves me wanting more. so good


I'm loving this series. Very good content. Thanks Emp.


This series is promising so far. I am happy with the way this and steamed hams has been graded.


Still miss this meme for some reason. Objectively it really wasnt good and everything you said is pretty accurate, but somehow this meme really "spoke" to me. It never failed to make me laugh, I never grew tired if it. I really dont know why.

It was the first YouTube video from 2018 I watched.

On the first days of knuckles the true sanc gave to me


This definitely seems like a series you could keep around. I certainly enjoy it, but feel free to stop when you don't.


I don't know where this channel is heading at this point, but I've been maybe a sub since 2014 and love the content you make. I know the downward spiral might still happen for you, but keep up the quality content.


Hmmm. I thought he would've teared this thing to pieces, but instead he had a very cool head while talking about this. Good job Emplemon, looks like this lil' meme review series might become my favorite thing to come from you in recent years, keep it up buddy, you're doing great!


I am honestly happy to see you doing content that suits you so well


As for the meme's origins, it began with a video by Gregzilla reviewing Sonic Lost World, where he made a second long clip of a XD WACKY drawing of Knuckles that was pretty decent. Then, it came back, in the form of a short video called "knuckles sings" in which case the drawing is animated to sing a short bit of I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire by The Ink Spots. It was then increased in length into the full song. Then, it started to blow up a little more a small contained grenade where Knuckles would sing some more songs. Than, it faded.

Boom, enter VR Chat. Someone made a playable model of this drawing. Why? No clue. It was funny though. Than, someone made a video about a swarm of Knuckles started quoting Who Killed Captain Alex. Why? No clue. It was kind of funny.
Then it exploded. A bomb.
Then more. A nuclear bomb.
Then, finally, the nail in the coffin, some sort of world ending bomb blew up on the meme and the poor little chubby knuckles became more dead than your average vietnam soldier.
I'm guessing you didn't cover most of this as to keep that short minute time frame, but man, the journey of a fat little echidna to a skeleton in the grave is one I'll never forget. Rest in piece, Gregzilla Knuckles.

Its somewhat upsetting that I have to specifically search this channel out even after subscribing and looking at similar content, but maybe its a testament to its creativeness and appeal that I keep remembering it and coming back.


These minute memes videos are really nice, keep them up Emp!


I'm loving the series so far EmpLemon. Finally something to watch, my god.


I must say, even just 2 episodes in. This is a hit. Awesome nostalgic windows xp and 10/10 choice of overlying music. I must say I'm very impressed!


Dude these videos are really solid. Keep up man, this is the kind of content I want to see.


C-?? Are you kidding me!?<br>It deserves a D if not lower.

C-?? Are you kidding me!?
It deserves a D if not lower.

Well, I mean, as normie as the meme is now, it was kind of funny the first few days it was introduced. It was actually funny for about two days, became generic for about a week, and then died horrifically.

People always forget to rate memes based on their peak.


This was my favorite meme of all time but it's tragic to see how hard it hit the ground after the normies got to it

That meme died faster than my dad did on 9/11


It's a good thing you started this series, since I think you're probably better off taking a break from ytps


I'm glad you covered this meme I was there on vr chat to see this meme in its natural habitat, and it was nice but then the finebros and all the other norme outlets picked it up and killed it.


I liked the meme when it was just dudes trolling each other on VR chat. And the idea of having Who Killed Captain Alex be the driving force behind this meme was great, the movie needs more people seeing it imo.


Do I get brownie points for watching this on windows xp?


I love the lighting fast editing, it keep my eyes moving can't decide what to look at. So even though it's a one minute video it has some<br>re-watchability. Keep up the good work!

I liked this take on explaining the meme. I only wish there was a quick summary of it's origin or how it actually worked. Other than that, this is pretty accurate to what I've seen over the past month. U K is finally starting to go away. It was fun while it lasted.

The only problem with making a minute-long meme review series is that there’s not enough time to talk about the origins of the meme. I wish Gregzilla was mentioned in this video; he doesn’t get enough credit for being the original artist who drew that goofy looking image.


Ive been a fan and subscribed for a long time its cool you're doing things like this now keep it up its awesome seeing your channel grow


I actually put up signs at my school saying that the meme was dead. that's how cancerous it was there. This was the most excellently put together review of a dead meme. Good job Emplemon.


This was pretty good! I thought you were talk about the past of this meme, when it was used for n awful and still unfunny series of lip syncing videos, but I guess it wouldn't fit into a 60s review. Keep it up!

PD: NORMIES are evolving... fear...

Still loving this series. Here's hoping it sticks around.


The first few online videos of this were some of the craziest funniest shit I've seen for a while. What series of events led up to a whole bunch of dudes online walking around as this shitty model of knuckles, speaking in ugandan accents, wanting to find their way to the queen or the commander and making clicking noises and spitting on anyone who doesn't help them? It truly was beautiful, but I have no idea why it turned into such a meme outside of those videos. It's not funny unless you know the original context.


"It's not a mistake", ✨ IT'S A MASTERPIECE ✨

Oh god damn it didnt jellybean say to say that only on her videos


Emp really couldn't have said it better. I hate how normies ruined this could've-been spicy meme

it was and always will be as spicy as cold water

Pepe The Trump
Good rule of thumb: If it gets featured on iFunny,it's probably already dead.
Anywho,as I said before I have zero doubt that there are people talented enough to eventually make it adapt...which makes it all the more sad that it died so tragically.

Godzilla 123 im not trying to bash you but I'm just ashamed cuz this could've been the dat boi of this year, in my eyes at least.

Godzilla 123 my point is its original to where someone actually thought about it from the African movies like "who killed captain alex" and thought that a tribe of knuckles from uganda on the search for the way and a queen. Like what's not to like. I started getting pissed when i noticed it getting featured like 3 times in a row on Ifunny. I knew it was gonna get fucking ruined and wished it didn't cuz i actually liked the meme and vr chat.

And its not even a top 10 quote from its movie, "Who Killed Captain Alex"

We had "Everybody in Uganda Knows Kung Fu" and "Im cooking German food: we found German Tourists and we're cooking them" yet we got a quote that wasn't even a punchline

Pepe The Trump
I don't think this meme would have survived very long even without the normie spam-style execution. It's origins and the way it's many segments came together to form such a peculiar amalgamation is fascinating, however the meme itself does not have much substance or really that much adaptability. Like seriously,it's just a deformed Knuckles yelling:"DO YOU KNEW DE WEY?"
Now,I'm not saying there aren't people talented enough to make it work,but even then... Eh?

This is something ive been trying to communicate for a while, and i dont think i did as good a job as Emp did here.


Couldn't agree with you more. This meme got stale pretty fast, so it really more mediocre than anything. I might give it a C + on a good day, but if I'm being honest, yes it's not that good.


Better than Behind The Meme's explanation. Well done, EmpLemon.


"This meme lived a short life and died a horrific, malnourished death, just like a true Ugandan."

Fuckin brutal


This Is good filler to soften wait time between longer videos. keep it up.


I'm l8 once again to the party, but I think it's worth mentioning that (at my school at least) it was extremely appearant that this meme was going to go normie. It's all thanks to the fact that it is indeed the truest form of a meme: something that can be spread from person to person with viral intensity. And it's all due to the memes catch phrase: "do you know de wae" which once spoken immediately exposes others to the joke. (Which, like you said, was the very de-evolution of the meme itself)


I really enjoy these videos. Keep it up!


I myself witnessed one of the Ugandan Knuckles encounters before it blew up, I was having the time of my life and thought it was just a silly little one off, then it turns out I was completely wrong, and after that, everything just got worse and worse.


I loved the original knuckles meme. "and knuckles" is a classic


i fucking loving this series Emp, keep 'er going!


The meme didn't die. It got more popular and actually flourished with its phrases and got pretty creative. Getting popular on the internet is what defines a meme. I don't think it's necessarily "Ruined by normies" until it's genuinely over populated by cringe. I mean it's still the best meme in 2018 so far and it was bound to get popular because of how funny it was. It was a classic meme and technically all memes are bound to get popular like this if they're good enough. Jameskii was essentially exposing it to the so called "Normies" in the first place. It's popular because the meme is stupid and hilarious of course and there's nothing wrong with that. It wasn't ruined by normies until it got on headlines and went out of style. All in all, it lived a very long life in comparison to some other famous memes. At least it's better than the steamed hams one


I never understood why anyone liked this meme. Great job Empy 4


I fucking love this format.<br>Please keep doing this.

I fucking love this format.
Please keep doing this.


I'm actually really liking these minute memes Mr.Lemon


I still love the Windows XP aesthetic. Windows XP was my first OS so it obviously gives me nostalgia.


Wow Emplemon is doing meme reviews? The downward spiral never ends.


I remember seeing one of those "hit pieces" on Twitter, and someone was like "hmmph of course you have to write a whole article to explain why it's racist." The author responded with "I could do it in four words if you like." the other guy said "go ahead" and the author said "black man voice funny." I can see why people would think that

And yeah, there have been actual Ugandans who are perfectly fine with it, as well as actual Ugandans who have said stuff to the effect of "dude this isn't cool. These people are making fun of our accents and reducing real-world horrors like ebola into a punchline." But yeah, the meme is garbage and people are sick of it so good riddance


Maybe next episode could be a multi minute meme review, individually going over the lives, deaths, and rebirths of Shrek & All-Star Memes

-The Original Films
-Smash Mouth's All-Star being declared a general "this song is amazingly dumb" meme song
-Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life
-Shrek being revived as a major meme icon
-All Star being revived as a proper "but edit" meme


For the longest time, I didn’t want to watch this video cuz I couldn’t believe he would make a video about this meme. After watching it, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this way.


Memes don't die, they just go out of style, and the whole "normies kill memes" thing is stupid, in my opinion. Everyone instantly blames them whenever a meme "dies." However, I understand your point of view and still love your content. Keep it up! :D Look on the bright side, at least VRChat players can finally play the game instead of being harassed about de wae every 10 seconds.

CHD ISFUN It's not stupid when its happening right before your own eyes.

+xmish16 Just enjoy memes within a niche community

In my opinion the meme didn't die quickly. It seems that anything getting wildly popular is considered killed by normies when in fact that's what makes them memes in the first place.

MaxRideWizardLord   For simply stating my opinion?

That is how most memes die though. A meme goes out of style when it is used enough and eventually peacefully fades out. A meme dies when it is still used long after the point of being humorous. Who does this? "Normies," or people who just don't get what makes the joke funny.


I agree wholeheartedly with what you said about the abuse of the meme. Such a shame that VRchat will now and forever be remembered, (which I did want) but because of this meme, and not because of the better things that influenced me to play a bit of VRchat.


Yeah, I can't stand Ugandan Knuckles anymore, either. All of my family members think it's the funniest shit ever, and this is coming from the same people who unironically repost minion memes on Facebook.

+PooDoo DrillDick I'm gonna pretend I understood that. Anyways, yes, my entire family is filled with the textbook example of normies.


Minute memes is the best meme review show of 2018


Hey Emp, could I interest you in a good youtube channel that posts ytp - like content weekly? I think this guy deserves alot more attention and respect for the pure amount of effort this guy puts into his content. The channel's name is 'Stinger', why don't ya check him out?


When this meme first came out I knew right away that it would die within the first two weeks after it was introduced...


“This meme lived a short life and died a horrific, malnourished death... just like a true Ugandan.”<br>MY SIDES

“This meme lived a short life and died a horrific, malnourished death... just like a true Ugandan.”
MY SIDES


how you manage to make these so good is beyond me
keep it up and also please more youtube geographic
potato knishes or ratboywonder please?


Your new meme show lacks the common edits that your ytp vids have. There’s no random earrape which is what I enjoy. I personally find this show’s quality to be equivalent to behind the meme’s videos without the filler, but still keeps the generic, bland execution as well as the same background and stock music.

This is not hate, just some constructive criticism.


I've never seen an example of this one that was even slightly amusing.


This meme is even more painful as an actual Sonic fan, as normies never seem to know anything about it.


I think that the fact it reflects the death of actual Ugandans should give it at least a B for poetry


COMPLETELY AGREE. and that closing statement was straight offensive. i love it.


I remember when I saw that tweet that one guy said about Black Panther. It was funny yet sad.


This meme had promise when it was a thing back in late 17 but like most of the other memes these days it was run into the ground which again is disappointing because it had a lot of potential


The Windows XP style of the show is great. Keep up the good work 👍


"This meme isn't very funny or clever. It requires little effory to be used and is just shoving in unfunny racist stereotypes like we're edgy 12 year olds."
BRUDDA U JUS DUN KNO DHE WAE XD
-Supporters of Ugandan Knuckles

Implying I myself am offended. I never said I was, I'm just pointing out unfunny stereotyping. I can give less of a shit if you make fun of other cultures, but be more original than just saying Mexicans eat tacos, or Africans do clicking noises. I just called it unfunny stereotyping, which it is. You don't have to be a snowflake to find unfunny humor about stereotyping a culture. It's the same reason why Family Guy tends to be shit. It looks like a 12 year old trying to be racist by doing nothing new or original with the "racism."

Spaghett is just bad but has some YTP potential in it. I've seen a Spaghett meme work at least once because it required slightly more effort than just plastering a cringy meme everywhere. The racism isn't what bothers me, it's just how creatively sterile it is.

I know Steamed Hams was around since 2017, but I brought it up since it was decently relevant. It's more of one of those memes that'll last longer than others.

Tl;dr I'm not offended at the racism of Ugandan Knuckles, it's just cringy as fuck and comes off with as much creative wit as Seth MacFarlane doing racial humor in most of his work. Plaster a generic unfunny stereotype on screen that's been done to death. Hope people find it funny. I'm not offended at all, but humor about a race of people requires more effort than stereotyping. Just make it funny. Put effort into it.

It was a very funny meme at the 1st week of it then it became more and more stale. But the 1st video I saw of it made me cry of laughter but then 3 days later it was about dead to me.


I showed my friend this video and was like, "ISN'T THIS THE OPPOSITE OF BEHIND THE MEME?" and now they're subbed


We're kicking it off on a high note, I see.


Ever since 2018 came around, the word MEME has lost its meaning.


I used this meme just once to weird the fuck out of a group chat of fellow gamers, then the joke died less than two days after, when other guys tried to force the joke back in too hard... one dude did get the joke since the beggining tho...


I like this new format, you're really fighting back against the D O W N W A R D S P I R A L


How to find the way for good meme review in a minute by emplemon


Like all sonic memes, they gotta die fast.


this series is like behind the meme but actually good


It really blew up because pewdiepie made a video praising it, and you know when he calls something great it MUST be great


"ugandan knuckles was a mistake"<br>~Gregzilla

"ugandan knuckles was a mistake"
~Gregzilla


It was almost dream-like seeing a bunch of people all come together with almost no planning and become apart of this weird culture. Too bad it died within a week.


so this is like an improved and more through out version of behind the meme? nice.


The ironic thing is that the Ugandan filmmaker, whose movie had the line, "He knows the way of the gun," thinks the meme is hilarious.


This series is gonna be supper bingable in a year or two


It had a lot of potential but it grew to big to fast


The first moment i heard my little brother say it, i was already convinced that the meme was dead.


Such an awesome parody of Behind the Meme. You even use his voice!


I'm sad that this meme didn't last longer


Ugandan knuckles probably fits this format the best since it was funny for about a minute.


i dont think its fair to judge a meme like that for the sins of the normies


We'll be right back with more 60 second memes!


I really hope I don't get Uganda knuckles videos getting recommended to me just because I watched this<br>Besides that, I totally agree with what you've said here. I wish it didn't explode as it did.

Besides that, I totally agree with what you've said here. I wish it didn't explode as it did.


The meme is still alive this meme is good and it's an A on my scale


The meme was actually pretty funny when it first came out, I quite enjoyed it. Now it’s just been so beaten down and stripped that it’s just dumb now. At my school there’s a volleyball tournament, and there were posters on the school hallways saying stuff like “do you kno da wae to the volleyball tournament?” and it just had pictures of knuckles all over it. It’s just sad nowadays.


What I'm really salty about is that it ruins my experience when looking at & Knuckles memes.

I do it more often than you'd think.

Hector⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻


just like a true ugandan<br>goodbye my sides, you have served me well

just like a true ugandan
goodbye my sides, you have served me well


I think downward spiral has been on an emplemon completely and he has downscended finally.


I think uganda knuckles set the record for the fastest time until a meme goes stale


Most Normies will take any meme that's easy to manipulate and turn it trash. Steamed Hams hasn't been affected by Normies because you have to put some effort into those videos, while this meme is just saying "do you know de weY XD"

Nah, they just found a way (GET IT) to simplify it

+xmish16 You don't admire the creativity in it!

OzzyNToby actually it's because steamed ham is an awful and uncreative meme that can't be quoted. There's no phrase in it and it has no reason to be a meme. It's just a downgraded ytp that was forced

<b>Simpleflips, great entertainer he is. You're not allowed to speak of his name in any negative format or else I will make an honestly pointless comment in the bolded format. And that is something you should fear. I guess.</b>

*Simpleflips, great entertainer he is. You're not allowed to speak of his name in any negative format or else I will make an honestly pointless comment in the bolded format. And that is something you should fear. I guess.*

It was fun for like 2/3 times

werknemerful you sir desperately need to see more steamed hams videos.

There are so much many good videos that you are missing out on.

Fuck that meme as well, using washers as a replacement for nipple clamps seems more fun than <b>Steamed hams but it's a speedrun</b>

Fuck that meme as well, using washers as a replacement for nipple clamps seems more fun than *Steamed hams but it's a speedrun*

I swear the only memes ive never seen normies even know about are mario 64 memes like pannkoeck and simpleflips


Thank god im relaxed with this video because BEHIND THE FREAAKKING MEME.God Bless EmpLemon


Couldn't have said it better myself.<br>I got sick of this meme literally the fourth time I saw it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
I got sick of this meme literally the fourth time I saw it.


When this meme got taken down into oblivion by normies they took knuckles as an overall meme down with it.


Thank you for saying what needed to be said.


There's still the occasional Ugandan Knuckle that manages to amuse me... But the meme was definitely killed swiftly by those whom we call normies. I guess you could say...

The normies didn't know the way...


As knuckles himself would say:<br>"Oh no"


Yeah it had so much nuance when people were clucking and clicking in little packs in VR chat.

But it was seriously beat to death. But memes as a concept are flawed. Being repeated makes them less funny, not more, but it needs to be repeated in order to be a meme. Least the rest of vr chat is a weird hilarious shitpost.


Ugandan Knuckles was pretty fun in the VR chat videos but when people make videos regarding Ugandan Knuckles that talk about lore(not this video) and when normies at school mention it 24/7 the memes becomes bad


Don't worry, apandah is sorry about what he did.


I actually think this is way better than Behind The Meme.


Since this meme was born around the same time as the spaget meme, I like to think they're brothers who died from cancer.


This was the fastest I've seen a meme die


I was scared he'd say it wasn't a bad meme, phew


I knew this meme was cancer ever since I laid eyes on it, yet everyone keeps pushing it


This meme had a lifespan of a week in my eyes....A fucking week.


When I saw this meme for the first time I thought it had so much potential...<br>One week later and i was ready to bash my head with my keyboard if I heard do u know the wae one more time truly sad how this meme blew up so soon but I guess that's just memes in the end there are memes that stay relevant and funny for months and others that don't last even a week

Love the ending music sounds like PBS from early 90s


Welp. That was extremely short and straight to the point.


hey emp lemon, hope you're staying on that DOWNWARD 🌀


My friend wore a ‘do you know da wae’ sweatshirt to school.

At that point I knew the meme was dead beyond revival (Also I need to stop associating myself with normies).

Czar Никола́й II

Liam Neeson my not so friend has a Ugandan knuckles iPad background


This meme makes me wanna say "hasa diga eebowai"

To anyone who knows the reference gets a cucumber


Man this meme had a lot of potential, it may be ruined, I still like it, is funny


I never found the meme that funny to begin with, so I was kind of glad to see it die


This isnt what we want to be said, its what <b>needs</b> to be said.

This isnt what we want to be said, its what *needs* to be said.


When I went on the March for Life in January, I made a poster with Ugandan Knuckles on it.
Was I aware of how fucking cringey I was being? Yep.
Did I look like purebred normie shit? You betcha.
Why'd I do it in the first place? Well it's like you said Emp: "A meme is the fastest way to put an idea into someone's head." I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

That and seeing all the Lefties get triggered by my "racist" poster.


If the media didn’t talk about Uganda knuckles so much, it could still be a relevant meme until February or early March. I don’t think it’s the worst meme, but the way the media complains about it being racist completely ruined the meme forever.


"Notmies stripped this meme down to the bone and removed any nuance that it once had"? I was unaware there was ever nuance to memes to begin with?


I loved this meme😂. But ppl blew it out of proportion calling it racist. I never thought it was racist, we weren’t even really making fun of Africans, it was more of how goofy Knuckles looked, and he just so happened to be from Uganda😂😂😂😂. And the last joke was fucked😭😭


I'm a meme person at heart, I know most memes. I have a classmate who keeps on saying 'Do u kno de wae" even though the meme has been beaten shitless. Some of my friends tell him the meme is dead but he keeps on insisting, I tell him off that the meme is dead he then call me a meme-hater for saying that. I would rather travel to find more memes then stay at the same place since thats fucking boring.


Do one for tide pods

They’ve had it too good for too long

Do one for tide pods

*They’ve had it too good for too long*

That’s why I said they had it too good. It’s stupid and like any other meme it will die


well, at least im glad to have been present at the birth of this meme


love it. I always left vr chat as a true ugandan.

kill me


0:24 yeah, I have this one friend that's about as normie as they come... And he found out about this like a week after it died... And he's still spamming it in his personal discord server.


I agree, memes shouldn't just be plastered everywhere on everything just because "it's popular, lol RAWR XD". that's how memes die, and somehow nobody seems to understand that.

memes should never be taken out of context, you can mix and match them all you want, but removing any context whatsoever will at best yield no amusement, and at worst will cause controversy.

Behind The Meme's entire channel actually encourages this, like it or not.

actually, come to think of it, it reminds me of how fandoms will get corrupted. as more people know about it, all parts of the following grow, the normal parts and of course the "HAHA RAWR XD (insert fandom inside joke taken out of context)" parts.

my conclusion, if we can stop the normies from destroying out favorite memes, we can also stop them from ruining our favorite fandoms. if you want to help, you can go off of this:

meme creation = popularity = more people like normies = meme spammed out of context = meme dies

fandom = popularity = more people like obsessive fangirls and fanboys = inside jokes spammed out of context/obnoxious behavior = fandom receiving bad rep = fandom ruined

donate to our cause, please


Even 1 nanosecond of this is more explanative than btm


It should've stayed as an inside joke for VR Chat players


"Ugandan Knuckles is a really funny meme based on the African version of Knuckles from the Sonic the Hedgehog series."


Literally a road block in the shit post that is VR chat


Well that the two major memes covered and so far i see no note worthy meme on par with steamed hams or Ugandan knuckles but I’m still looking forward to the next episode.


I miss this meme even when it went <b>MAIN STREAM</b>

I miss this meme even when it went *MAIN STREAM*


we need to protect the next one from ourselves.


I knew it was bound to be consumed by normies.

A meme that involves regurgitating obnoxious catchphrases while sporting avatars of Sonic characters is one that will die fast


I understand that it's an intentional editing/design choice for this series, I don't like how you add new images to the screen, whilst keeping the old ones up in the background - it just becomes a visual clusterfuck over a short period of time, especially considering the pace in which you throw in more images.

I'd suggest either slowing down the machinegun-pace of images on the MS Paint window, making one image appear at a time, or both.

I get that it would slightly hurt the windows xp aesthetic, but the background music, rolling hills wallpaper, and color pallete make the aesthetic strong enough as it is.


Now do everyone's hilarious and not over used meme "Downward spiral!" X Dee


Exactly what I thought. It should of stayed on VRchat


i always hated that annoying, pos, over spammed meme from the start. i'm glad it died so quick.


Steamed hams: Grade A<br>Ugandan knuckles: Grade C-

Steamed hams: Grade A
Ugandan knuckles: Grade C-


Legit love Apandah's videos, but hos Uganda Knuckles video was a mistake, and even he knows that.


The female knuckles brought some...funny thoughts to my head


It seems today
that all you see
is servers full of knuckles and kanna  kamui
Some kid at my school asked if I knew da way
I didn’t want to respond
Now the meme has been normified
Keep it in vr chat
Far away from snapchat
All these normies make me
Want to die
Da, queen’s, third, bomb, bites the dust

at least they haven't touched steamed hams... and we kept them the fuck away from protogent because that meme lived for a while about 3 months tbh


I missed it when the wai was still funny. Dang normies always strip away the funniness of memes.


Oh wow! For a moment there I was just expecting you to just say its just a stupid meme, but you actually brought up its potential for being a good meme that could have some story behind it, before it just became another copy pasta meme. R.I.P. Deh Wae


One of my friends handed me a Valentine card with Knuckles' face taped on to it, and under it read "You are de wey." I'm still not upset I laughed


There's a kid in my class who still says "do you know de wey"


Fat Ugandan Knuckles = Poor example of a meme
Fat Singing Knuckles = Great example of a classic

I'll just remember that little guy for the good times.


You haven't seen true sadness and despair until you log into VRchat and see a lonely knuckles trying to be funny in some corner while everyone else ignores him


Thank you finally someone said what I have been thinking.


Nicholas Hart when normies got it then I hated it


You know, I've tried not to subscribe considering I've always thought I don't want your content, but the thing is I watch like all of your content, so I think I'm just going to subscribe


This is so fucking on point though. On games revolving around community servers such as gmod and css, there was a month period of nothing but dolts running around a clicking. Eugh.


This meme was on Snap-chat, that's a nail in the coffin.


Spoiler alert: this meme was NEVER Funny.

It was funny on Day 1 I found it but I got sick of it the next day.

PzGSephy To me, it was funny, but after a while, the meme got stale. I respect your opinion though


Thats a nice meme you have on your shoulders.


Amazing video as always, EmpLemon. Nice choice using Apandah's video.


It kind of feels like a current, well as current as they can be anyways, 9/11 meme really. Originally from what I understand both this and 9/11 memes were satiring various things, with knuckles being tribal stereotypes and 9/11 memes making fun of the stupid conspiracy theorists saying it never happened by showing both to their most ridiculous extremes. They had some depth and were poking fun of really stupid ideas. Then people who didnt GET the joke and just liked the edge and punchline found the joke. This led to people recreating both jokes without their original intent, leading to shitty watered down videos and memes that were only meant to be funny because they were edgy, not because they were actually cleaver jokes, and just turned them into the fucking mess they both are now. At least that's what I understand about both meme anyways.


Emperor Lemon is the one whom will be the Great Meme Preist for Kek.


I remember when it was just some YouTuber's animation.

@Mattok101 DigitalTamer oooh<br>yeah no thats too sinful

@Mattok101 DigitalTamer oooh
yeah no thats too sinful

@PooDoo DrillDick I am talking about the music video "Find da wae".

@Mattok101 DigitalTamer no singing knuckles. it was a wholesome meme then turned into a model, then people made the shitty meme with it

@PooDoo DrillDick "Little Wholesome singing meme" you mean that cute music video which is just variations of "Do you kno da wae?".

and it became a little wholesome singing meme, then we made it an ironic mess and made the maker of the model and maker of the animation feel awful?


Fuck it. I'm gong to keep liking memes even if normies copt them. It's clear at this point that any good meme is going to bring the normies out in droves since 2016 caused memes to become mainstream.


You forgot the fact that this version of Knuks was drawn by Gregzilla!


I liked the meme when it was just knuckles singing with funny edits. But they just had to taint it in vr.


i don't have a Valentine's, but i have this.

even better

i don't have a Valentine's, but i have this.

*even better*


I only have used that meme once the day after it blew up. It died but a few people still use the damn meme at school. Just glad I’m not a normie.


Is One Two Oatmeal well known enough to have it's own video?


This could've been prevented if that one maniac didn't decide to leech off the Knuckles Sings meme


I found the meme really funny because of how it came to be but as soon as i walking in the halls and heard someone say do you know da wae i knew it had already died


It's the best meme of all time and no one can prove me otherwise.

Xx_CykaBlyat24_xX I thought it was steamed clams...


It didn’t get time to live, I loved it when it was an underground Piece of work now it’s forever gone


do you know..

Theoretical physics, cause i need another dimension to escape the memes


1 view = 10 likes at least I caught while it's monetized


Can you make more of these?<br>These are gr8!

Can you make more of these?
These are gr8!


Kinda thought he would mention how it started with knuckles sings which came from some kinda review (Gregzilla's Kinda Review on Sonic Lost World) before then having the 3d VRChat character model made and then the meme started.


Finally! A explanation that isnt shit. By the way, some other meme "reviewer" reviewed this meme... HEEEELLLOOOOO INTERNEEEEET


The Ice Age Song is the biggest spinoff of it.


So I'm assuming A+ is top of the scale and C- is bottom?

No, F is the bottom, like in school.<br>This could've been good, but was spoiled by overexposure to normies

No, F is the bottom, like in school.

This was a good meme, until the normies murdered this in 1 week.


One time at school, someone told me "I played as Ugandan Knuckles in Battle Royale"<br>it was this month

what about savage patrick? a meme with such little substance that it straddles the line between meme and simple reaction pic


Is there any comment section where you aren't at the top!?

+Thunder Eagle you comment deserves every like on YouTube XD

This guy is on more than just memes and TF2, guys.

Just forget about ever seeing a comment section without him unless you go REALLY deep into the inter-woods

Chuck Norris I see him in all the Steamed Hams videos

StickMaster500 Why are you following me?

You're on every TF2 video and now here too? I like your taste


I like how you said C- because it was a normie meme, just like how normies "do enough to get a C-."


jesus christ, that ending, fucking savage


Do one on like burger king foot lettuce. Something that's not super popular and not a rotting corpse. I'm loving the series immensely so far.


The meme was all ready bad in the first place


Behind the meme but his videos are actually good and don’t have filler


didn't even take weeks, only like ~5 days for this meme to die


But hey, on the internet, memes are king


Normie-Do u know da wae-me:yes i know the way to hell ive seen the undertale fandom

ᴄʟʏᴅᴇ[sᴏᴜᴛʜ ᴘᴀʀᴋ]

yea its pretty funny to see especially when the person then says "your gonna have a bad time"

ᴄʟʏᴅᴇ[sᴏᴜᴛʜ ᴘᴀʀᴋ]

like seriously if someone says sans is ness on a starman.net page the first hour is a PK Starstorm of angry mother fans

ᴄʟʏᴅᴇ[sᴏᴜᴛʜ ᴘᴀʀᴋ]


I never truly never found this meme funny


I thought that there should be a special mention to the original "Knuckles Sings" videos where the model of "Ugandan Knuckles" came from in the first place.


Do the meme "Kirb" next.

EmpLemon, please!


top 10 Best Dank Memes of 2017, you promised us.


this meme has a lot of potential, it can be like a new "Dat boi Ho shit waddup" But in this case was some autistic noises, and they start to cloth knuckles with some uganda boring clothes, i give this uganda crap a D But the knuckles model a C+


Poor Ugandan Knuckles.  You were too good for this world, and WAY to good for the normies that rung you like an old bar cloth.


I really don't like this meme, it's pretty lame.

AnimalTruk Spaghet isn't even that funny but it's Picasso compared to Ugandan Knuckles. At least it requires SOME semblance of effort

Ded Snek I should say that I tolerated it for a couple of weeks. I never really got this meme like the dat boi meme. They just got really popular, stayed for a while, and weren’t really that funny. I rate a D class meme.

I mean, I sorta like the Spaghet Bear meme, and Steamed Hams is one of the best modern memes I've seen in a long time, but this meme is just annoying, idiotic, and just needs to die already.

Ugandan Knuckles are pretty much the minions of the meme culture.

The CrisGamer  now the internet is full of normies, so if you do they will probably laugh, thats when you call THEM a normie and tell them it was a serious question

Here's something sadder : here in Brazil, the meme was dominated by normies. For some unknown reason, this is the first american meme that got famous here.

The CrisGamer Because it's a killed meme, a meme killed by normies.

AnimalTruk Yeah, this meme was ok for a couple of weeks, but I don’t get why it’s lasted as long as it has


We should make "Remember Uganda" the dank memer battlecry like "Remember the Alamo"


Don't you think this is the 2018 equivalent of dat boi? Dat boi also started as a case study of the bizarre autism of the internet but it eventually became a catchphrase normies contaminated. Though dat boi remained relatively dank for longer than Ugandan Knuckles


Should you really give a meme a lower grade because normies got a hold of it? How is that fair for the meme?


That's another good meme that was took away by

2017 culture aka tide pods


I’m gonna be completely honest right now, but I’m glad Behind the Meme made a video on this now utter shit meme


that's not how you spell "ugandan", memelemon


More like "Minute and Eighteen Seconds Meme"

All that additional ad revenue y'now getting to that 10 min mark

Flack Jacket yeah lol have you seen his Nintendo labo meme video (btw I know labo was fucking weird but I don’t know any memes that came from it so wtf), he literally talks about his memories of playing Nintendo games at the first part of the video lmfao

Callinater I wasn't being sarcastic, those are good numbers, there. Definitely better than Behind the meme, who probably spends 25% on the intro, 30% on the outro, 35% on useless filler, and 10% actually talking about the meme itself.

Flack Jacket I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, but yes, those ARE good numbers seeing as how short this video is to begin with. And it gets straight to the point.

So, basically, of the 78 seconds he gives himself, roughly 10% is the intro, 12% is the outro, while the other 78% is talking about the meme itself. I like those numbers.

*60 seconds of meme, 8 seconds of intro and 10 seconds of outro.

A minute was spent actually explaining, keep up with the rules of this review format pls ok thx


Literally everyone at my school references the meme after one of the kids in my class showed a video of the meme for some Friday video thing we did. Even the teachers say it! Also please do the brown bricks/inspector gadget meme it’s a pretty underrated one.


This might be a late(r) present to the Guardian of the Master Emerald.


to be honest i never really liked this meme even after i knew what it was about. it was just so annoying and it was everywhere.


I was expecting a worst grade since it's just a meme patched together from about 3 different other ones


MAKING MEMES ABOUT A MEME BEING DEAD IS WHAT KILLS IT<br>YOU LET THE NORMIES WIN

MAKING MEMES ABOUT A MEME BEING DEAD IS WHAT KILLS IT
YOU LET THE NORMIES WIN


It's a movie quote
Then nobody iterated/improved on it so it couldn't survive a second outside VR chat
The meme was destined for death, the normies weren't the ones that killed it

Identical to the "woah" crash bandicoot meme


To be honest the meme just fascinates me. What cosmic powers had to manifest to make it so someone took a knuckles 3D model based on the knuckles gregzilla drew and go around making references about Who Killed Captain Alex and "da way" in a VR game

Porky Minch yep, the way of using a gun xD<br>Didn't know ihe did a video on WKCA though but still the odds of it all coming together like it did is just too low

Porky Minch yep, the way of using a gun xD
Didn't know ihe did a video on WKCA though but still the odds of it all coming together like it did is just too low

people who watched ihe's search for the worst of WKCA? also do you know the way was a phrase in the movie itself


You know I miss the old EmpLemon he used to make such funny ytps, now all he ever does is complain about the internet and normies.

I mean I still feel like the pro ironic and pro real taste of his content is still here just in a different format. I didn't come for ytps I came for his style and its still here


Just days after it's rising, twelve year olds were already chanting "do you know de wea" through my school corridors.


I am from Uganda. I do not find you offensive. You are doing the lords work.


Even though, this meme has grown very big in the community, but people say it's dead already.


Emp

Yep, the most normie meme of 2018, correction, ALL TIME.


I liked it within the first week I thought it was a nice little meme to start the year off with but noooooooo THEN EVERYONE STARTED SPAMMING VIDEOS OF IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER REMOVING EVERY LITTLE BIT OF ORIGINALITY IT ONCE HAD

thank god normies don't know about Simpleflips memes

Bernard Powers sorry nigga, it Opposite Day 👌😂

Sometimes I wish more people knew what sarcasm is

You know Ugandan Knuckles is a "normie" meme itself, right?<br>And no, I'm not just saying that because of BTM, I generally think that it's a "normie" meme.

we are reaching levels of irony that should not be possible

Ded Snek No need to act like a condescending cynic, though. Also, no u.


I swear if not for the controversy of the meme being “racist” it would’ve died sooner


Remember when Ugandan knuckles was used to sing ocean man?


The Cell vs Ugandan Knuckles videos were hilarious


...why hearing someone's voice over the phone sounds different than their real voice?

Ugandan Knuckles has become Harambe part 2. It was funny for a bit, involving an animal and a catchphrase, but the general public also can enjoy funny animals and catchphrases. Within a few weeks, the meme got raped and pillaged by normies. I started hearing "Do you know de way" being said at my school and then large crowds of people laughed at it. Everyone was getting in on it. After I considered the meme well dead, I played VR chat and I saw a little Ugandan Knuckles being voiced by a girl trying to make her voice high and cute, one of my pet peeves. She spouted the same series of catchphrases we all heard a million times. "Do you kno de wae? Spit on de fake queen pbbt you know de wae" drivel. Sad cringey drivel. It was at that moment where I concluded that Ugandan Knuckles was not only dead but only a pile of splintered skeleton.


What meme do you think will die next, Bench Tails?


I had to drop everything I was doing at work for this


Was a good meme for the first week then it was over ran with Normies


The fact that you use Windows xp makes me love you


next time one of my normie classmates at school says "do you know da wae", I will show them this video


Just like any other meme it goes mainstream once PewDiePie touches it.


This meme was only good when it was just Knuckles Sings.


Hey EmpLemon, what's the music you use for these videos called?


I knew when I saw this meme get popular it was as good as dead


I'd "show dem de wae", all right!

Da wae to a mental asylum, for thinking this meme would catch on for very long!


How the hell did the reaction video of the meme went on trending but none the original videos wert.


It is obvious to me that this human being can not conseptulate "da way"


We all tried to call it dead, but it stayed undead


"the wild and bizarre autism-"

nope, i'm done


When something appears on BTM you KNOW it's gonna be normie trash.


Damn bro just savage. That was a good video tho. Keep it up.


I wonder if it truly was unforseen or if it would have been possible to predict that this was going to die an early and sad death.


Make this rule because you started a war.<br>Behind the Meme will no longer kill memes when he uploads one, and the dead memes shall not be classified as dead anymore.

I still love this meme
But i hate how its fidget spinners level now
R.i.p a promising meme
Nothing is sacred with normies.


Next time you will either

-Choke to death on spaghet

-Be choked to death by Ben Swolo


i remember when it was the singing knuckles meme


My anus turned inside out from laughter when you said it died like a true ugandan<br>(insert overused laughing emoji)

My anus turned inside out from laughter when you said it died like a true ugandan
(insert overused laughing emoji)


They killed the freaking meme before they could even find the so-called "way." The meme was born from just how bizarre the VRChat community was, and yet we have kids saying this crap on the streets now. How sad, the Master Emerald would be disappointed if it saw what has come of it's people.


Gee I wonder why it died... <b>IM LOOKING AT YOU BEHIND THE MEME</b>

Gee I wonder why it died... *IM LOOKING AT YOU BEHIND THE MEME*


I somehow knew the meme grade was going to be a C-. huh


I liked it and it's stupid creativity that it brought along but it did start drag along relatively quick.


Finally someone said it!  All the normies at school were screaming in the hallway "do you know the way" a week after it died. Sad.


My personal grade on this meme would probably be a D, for me it was never really that funny.


EmpLemon just went Leafyishere on this meme. 😂


Will you just cover new memes or will you cover old memes too.


Now all we need is a Tails meme and the Meme Trinity will be complete.


People will never understand Ugandan knuckles unless they watched who killed captain Alex.


Do the man, the myth, the legend!

PapazFrankaz: " Its Time To Stop"


Now it's been done by apandah, EmpLemon, and BehindTheMeme.


Is "the Current Year" still a thing? Seriously, it was big for a long time but I haven't heard anyone say "It's 2018..." in a serious manner yet.


I knew the Meme died when I heard several 6th grade white kids saying "deh way"


It was a good meme when it was just in vrchat but now you cant walk out in public withought a little kid screaming DO YOU KNOW DE WAY at the top of his voice


I like the meme better when it involved singing


A meme that was funny the first day and then died a quick painful death


plot twist: knuckles started as a normie meme


story
so me and my friend did some cultural festival
i was planning on doing japan but it got taken so i agreed with my friend to do uganda he kept on saying he should feature the meme and i said,i dont think they want memes
eventually he did place the meme on it and a whole bunch of people passed by saying oh look a dead meme and all that other crap
i kept on saying to my friend dude the wae isnt advertising we ended up getting more company


And so, the knowledge of de whey was lost time.Spat upon by the very normies who overused it.


Should've just stayed within the realms of knuckles sings or VRChat.


It had sooooo much potentiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal-<b>dies in normie explosion</b>

It had sooooo much potentiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal-*dies in normie explosion*


It went from a pretty funny one time joke to another terrible broken english WUT DEH HEK LOL? meme in a couple of weeks


You didn't touch on it's previous travel to memedom, with singing knuckles and Gregzilla.


I feel like if anyone speaks in a accent that’s Ugandan or sort of sounds like it.then the normies attack that person


well the problem with 60 second memes is you cant get the back story and your feelings on it, and i mostly wanna know the back story of it like pewdiepie and fantano has done, along with what ever u think about of.


“Just like a true Ugandan.” I fucking lost it there... I’m a terrible person...


Oh shit Emplemon posting a video I think hell just froze over


Sad how BTM has more subs than you. You deserve 3x more subs


I remember when it was called Knuckles sings.


I wanted the hank hill police department to win.


I recently saw my little brother and sister prancing around the house clicking their tongues saying "do u kno de wae" in their deepest voices. Fucking end my life fam.


I think Ugandan Knuckles could potentially see a revival if the Sonic franchise doesn't die. All it would take is for Sega to do some unintentionally  goofy ass shit with Knuckles, a clever but tangible connection between the two, and blamo Ugandan Knuckles is back on the meme market. The problem though is that Ugandan Knuckles got normified, meaning that normies will remember it. As soon as UK 2.0 is back, all it takes is for one big Youtuber to do some shitty video on it and it'll be normified again, killing it a second time. The only way to avert this tragedy is for all the normies who lived through it to die off first, which at this rate will probably take about a century at the least.

Either that, or the meme needs to evolve and all ties to 'Who Killed Captain Alexander' need to be dropped. Smol Knuckles was its own minor meme before people tacked on the Ugandan bit. It could see another life, but I'm stumped on how, and frankly trying too hard would be forcing the meme, which AFAIK isn't a proven to work strategy.


January needed a meme and Ugandan knuckles was the perfect full guy. Gives me real bad diarrhea when people mention "DO YU KNO DA WAY" and expect a laugh.


That fuckin end note man, that was intense


What makes steam hams better then this 6 words “unexpected jokes in a regular show” Please no Normies take over it its awesome where it is.


To be honest, Knuckles's singing career was so much better.


<b>sigh</b> another meme dead from overuse and flattening. I actually didn't mind the Ugandan Knuckles meme that much. It had potential. Hell, even after it became just normies repeating the same 3 sentences, there were some YouTubers who used the meme, yet still made it fresh and unique because they actually tried doing original shit with it (MiniLadd's video is a good example of it)

Find it weird how Uganda Knuckles had a lot of back lash for "poking fun at black people" when a lot of other memes kind of do the same thing.
Memes like: Triggered
Pools closed
Trihard
And other memes like "There are only 2 genders"
These memes could easily have the same faith as Uganda Knuckles about them being racist or offensive if the journalist normies found out about them.
I'm surprised Triggered didn't get the same effect when the normies found about it.


Yeah, Ugandan Knuckles was super dank in late December and early January, but then it just got batista bombed to death


It <b>RAISES*</b> the question. Begging the question is a fallacy stating that an argument is right "because its right". Its circular logic not a proposition.

It *RAISES** the question. Begging the question is a fallacy stating that an argument is right "because its right". Its circular logic not a proposition.


The first few videos still crack me and it isn’t even the “du yu kno de wey” that makes me laugh it’s shit like when one of them says “separate based on color” that makes me laugh.


But this meme was already dead on arrival.


0:39 is that a motherfucking SCP reference?


will you make a minute meme about the "you got the dud" meme?


emplemon over here with his crusade against all normies


I believe this meme is D- because this is overused by all the 9 year olds out here......and my school......and im in 8th grade

Mine song will always be the best


cs188 - acid
emperorlemon - shrooms
jabbercash - DMT


Well Normies I made it despite your directions...

Ah! Outsiders welcome I hope your prepared for an unforgettable meme!

Uh huh...

OH E GADS! My meme is ruined! But what if... I were to blow another meme out of proportion. And then call it good... Oh ho ho! Delightfully Devilish Normie...

Outsider! I was just... Ruining a meme on the window sill Isometric exercise... Care to join me...

Why is there smoke coming off your computer Normies?

Oh that isn't smoke its good vibes! Good vibes from the great meme were having today!

I see

Sometime later

Outsiders I hope your prepared for Ugandan Knuckles

I thought we were having good memes

Yes! That's what I call Ugandan Knuckles!

You call Ugandan Knuckles a good meme?

Yes.

I see

You know this meme is very similar to Haramb...

Oh ho ho No! Patanted Ugandan Knuckles OOOOLD Family meme!

For Ugandan Knuckles?

Yes!

Yes... And you call it Ugandan Knuckles despite the fact its obviously Steamed Hams

Well... Excuse me for one moment

Of course

Well that was fun good time was had by all im pooped

Yes i must be... GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPINING IN THERE?!

Harambe memes...

Uh... HARAMBE MEMES! AT THIS TIME OF YEAR! AT THIS TIME OF DAY! IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY! LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR HOME?!!

Yes

May I see it?

Hmmmmm... No.

Well Normie you are an odd fellow... Ok bye.


I feel like this was at least an intricate meme, what with the Ugandan knuckles hiegharchy


People who thought this meme was racist need to get over themselves


How do you grade memes? C- is fucking generous


Yeah ok the meme could be better if normies didn’t find out


Apandah still can't escape his Ugandan Knuckles video...


Ugandan Knuckles is old hat<br>It's time for some Nigerian Sonic!

Ugandan Knuckles is old hat
It's time for some Nigerian Sonic!


As soon as I heard people shouting “du yu kno de wei” at my school everywhere they went, I knew the meme would die a tragic death.


Oi Emplemon, use the term "Normeme" to describe any memes ruined by normies. Like this one.

Any chance he's going to read this?


Uh.. No Emplemon... Uganda Knuckles didn't die... and it can't die for one good reason.

It has its own game.


I thought the same way about it but just like spaghett it got beyond normiefied


Do either Burger King Foot Lettuce or Connect 4 next.


Behind the meme 2.0 a bit better then the original


it was great for like a week or less and then was demolished by normies. I really thought it was funny before then. smh


<b>Time of death:</b> As soon a the snapchat filter came out

*Time of death:* As soon a the snapchat filter came out


I liked it for 1 day when my friend showed me then it became stale to me


I still admire the Jesus following Ugandan Echidna tribe.


I give Black Panther a fucking 10/10 and I haven't even seen it yet!


Random idea made by creative internet users + People who recorded/saw it + Spreading it to Social Media + Trendiness and Popularity + Behind the Meme + Normies and Hippies + A week worth of the meme getting spammed all over the place = Dead meme


I think the reason why the normies haven't messed with Steamed Hams is because they're just not capable of it.


is the next one going to be on Jimmy Barnes?


Make an UNcredibles 2 when the movie comes out lol


How could the normies ruin something that was already ruined?


i never though that it'd be so simple but
i found de wae
i found de wae


Ugandan knuckles: racist to africans
Spaghett bear: not racist to italians

???? ?????

*Ugandan knuckles:* racist to africans
*Spaghett bear:* not racist to italians

TFW someone asks you if you know the way at school...


The funny thing is VRChat is a normie game with abnormie tendencies.

This was bound to happen.

You forgot that behind the meme did a video on it making it officially dead


why haven't i gotten a notification about this? thanks youtube.


Knuckles has the advantage of being practically a symbol of vr chat it will never truly die<br>And thanks trump for that

Knuckles has the advantage of being practically a symbol of vr chat it will never truly die
And thanks trump for that


The only reason I watch this is so I can still watch apandahs Ugandan Knuckles video


dude wtf this is just like behind the meme


it had potential. And it was squandered.


This is basically the harambe of this year


It’s sad since I really liked this meme…

I feel like if we went back to this meme in the right way, we could bring it back.


By normies you mean reddit, because for how quickly this died, it's almost similar to how they killed that "meme" that was Arrow to the Knee in a fucking day, years ago.


The mainstream by talking about how "controversial" or "racist" this meme was only helped it become bigger and stay even nowdays because of all the free publicity it got<br>Dear God it is Trump all over again

O gathering the dragon balls and wait about 2, or 5 mouths to resurrect the meme that save me from my depression.


I don't think there's anything I hate more than this meme. Knuckles deserves better. Just try looking him up without seeings hundreds of these things.


My School Put Up Yearbook Posters About Ugandan Knuckles Around The School.

Was it just the normies though? In the end it's everyone spamming it and overusing it constantly


A new meme?

QUICK NORMIES! OVERFLOW THE MEME ECONOMY!!! WEIMAR REPUBLIC FOR THE WIN!!!


So you’re saying that normies shouldn’t like memes.


this meme show is better than behind the meme


I know, I'm going to sound like a normie but....

What are your thoughts about the dead harambee 'memes' it used to be a meme until, you know, normies


I hereby request to you, the meme god, to do Big Nigga next


Oh god my school turned it into “do you know the way to chick-fil-a

..........................

i dont want to eat chick fil anymore....

NORMIES RUINED MY FAVORITE CHICKEN!!!!!!


Idunno man I hated this meme for the first 3 weeks of it's existence but recently I've started seeing a couple of original and pretty funny photoshops in random discord servers, plus I liked  "VR chat main theme" by siivagunner. I can, however, agree that for the most part this meme is shit, or at least from the point I saw it onward.


Yea...The normies literally devoured that up hard.


Yikes brother! Looks like you do not “no dea whey”


The original Creator (gregzilla) regrets creating it


well that was a step backwards out of the YouTube trends.


I’m watching this on a beach. Help it’s hard to see


Wait...they actually- they took the- the-the-MEME HOLLY SHIT THE NORMIES CONTROLLED THAT MEME?!?!? IMPOSSIBLE!!!!


some guys in my class were making normie shit with the meme so i beated them up


I saw a pretty good one that had a map with a big arrow from Germany to France through Belgium and saying do you know da whey?


Some kid came up to me a lunch and said “de you know de way” like 3 weeks ago then last week when I was reading a Greentext he comes up to me and says you know that’s Pepe


I like how in my recommendation tab, there’s two Ugandan knuckles videos, and a video on today’s school shooting.


Finally someone is honest about this shitty meme.


I never liked that meme. It was funny for 2 days in till it blew up and just got plastered on everything. Everything had to be knuckles.


J U S T  L I K E  A  T R U E  U G U A N D A N


This meme died faster than a fetus at an abortion clinic


Do the marge Simpson krumping minute meme, that would indeed be an interesting video, its a mini-meme which normies haven't touched yet. It has LOTS of possibilities as demonstrated by our friend elliobot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97mZcFagi-w&list=PLv3TTBr1W_9tppikBxAE_G6qjWdBljBHJ&index=209    I think it if Normies dont get a hold of it, maybe it will be good for the sake of the climate of the memescape today.


There's more content in this one minute video than the hours of Jake Paul's crap


No one gonna talk about how this was stolen from Forsen's Zulul tribe? Ok

Ugandan Knuckles should not deserve to be a meme it's more of an unoriginal shit post made by the infamous normies that ruin everything. So far Steamed hams has to be the best meme of 2018.


I liked this the first time I saw it, before it got "big".<br>Then every autist grabbed it and crushed it to death.

This was a good aspect but the wrong delivery
Also, I need da wae to the noose

This was a good aspect but the wrong delivery
Also, I need *da wae* to the noose


I view this meme as an abortion. It was dead before it was even god damn born.


Why the FUCK do N O R M I E S ruin the spiky boy meme


Behind the meme is responsible for this.


The reason normies were attracted to this is because they wanted to be unique saying it and be randem and kwirky haha holds up spork


R.i.p ugandan knuckles, you truly new de wae


During the Christmas Exams like our entire year started fucking clicking in the exam hall, Jesus Christ kill me!!!!


True uganda man is a spicy boi with darkend outer casing


I came here from Steamed Hams!  Quite so this is not a good meme I didn't even hear about it until now.


sad boys.. I called it like 5 days in that it would die fast and horrifically when there was kids younger than 12 doing it... RIP my friend.


Holy fuck thank you. I really hate this meme.


Normie: DO YOU NO DA WAE??

Me: Yeah, you see that cliff right there? To find "da wae" you have to jump off it.


That "unknown reason" is the mainstream media. Those "Online journalists".


And now Bowsette is going down the same route...

I don't think it's really normie bait though.


Do the Number 15 Burger King Foot Lettuce


If I hear my brother ask me if I no da wae one more time.....


kay not defending this meme at all its dead but it’s actually based on/ referencing a Ugandan film by the name of who killed captain Alex it’s not a racist meme but the normies would have you believe otherwise

also if you want a video on who killed captain Alex go too the video by Mumkey Jones or Alex from IHE

Also (x2) I love this series please keep up the good work


Lets not forget Behind the meme did a video on it


Now We are Number One? Blast from the past, but I still see it mentioned now and then...


Lol i saw actaully normal people in real life say do you know the way? I stopped enjoying the meme from that point on


A meme community i'm in completely bans them.

Thankfully

im just glad they dont know about the memes in the Mario 64 community


no this meme never had any potential it died the second it was created


Can someone please tell me what's the music in this video, cause iv heard it before


Thankyou for explain I know now not to Uganda.


This reminds me the 60 second simpson review by therealjims


God as soon as I first saw this, I knew it was going to be shit


Sadly it died as soon as it was born.
#StopMemeAbuse


Do you know

how to find out if your crush is rejecting you or just is too shy to talk to you?


It wasn't all that clever in the context of VRChat either.  It's one joke.  Hell, it's not even that; it's just a goofy voice with the word "ebola" thrown in, because haha, Africa.

Any eight-year-old could have come up with this.  Normies can't ruin what was already garbage.


Google are you fucking kidding me why would you let me pick such a retarded username


>Died an horrific malnourished death.<br>That's awful emplemon. Why am I greentexting outside of 4chan? Seriously though. Good review.

That's awful emplemon. Why am I greentexting outside of 4chan? Seriously though. Good review.


do knuckles sings and remind us of a good meme


i swear there are so many normies with ugandan knuckles pfps its rediculous


calling other people normies makes you just as bad as them


Isn't this a reupload? Or am I confusing it with something?


It lived a short beautiful life. And died a horrible death. (Thanks alot Behind the Meme T_T)


Yeah, I think this meme had MUCH potential, but people just ruined it. When the meme was still around, I could see and here from other was "De wey." There's more to it, ya know. It could have... AscEndEd

It's just another tale of a meme not being used to it's full potential


What if all those "Uganda Knuckles is racists" articles were made by people tired of this meme and they tried to kill it as soon as possible?
But hey, that's just a theory
A GAY THEORY
THANKS FOR WATCHING

DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL


I hate Ungandan Knuckles for ruining everything associated with Uganda.<br>Especially Ugandan Rap, that is at least 1000 times danker than Uganda Knuckles had ever been.

In case if you didn't know, there was a french series that is explain meme like the series...I'm just saying it if you didn't knoe


the hell? you're blaming "normies" for killing the meme when it was never funny in the first place. it should have stayed in vrchat, and even there its not funny


Do your explanation of YouTube poop. I can't wait to see the result.


Who thinks tide pods should be next on the chopping block


Do you know the way

To the restroom I need to pee


The 12 year olds got their hand on it and it died. I'm really sad it's dead. It was fun. But it got taken by normies and children.


Was there any nuance in the meme to begin with?


Do The Nutshack Next Also That Meme Was Started By A Channel Called Rebeltaxi


Plz do another <b>Shrek</b> tacular minute meme

Plz do another *Shrek* tacular minute meme


Pretty sure it was quoting Who Killed Captain Alex and other Wakaliwood movies (Ebola Hunter) originally but as the meme spread and the silly image of Knuckles was just posted everywhere in any context it sort of lost this parody aspect and some people found it racist v:


Now we head to Reddit to see what happened.


Funny the first time I saw it on vrchat. The next month was utter torcher especially in my school


The reason why this meme was adopted by the normies and was then called racist by the same group of people is because being an outcast and a normie is not black and white, rather there is a spectrum of normieness. The first ones to adopt it where only psedo-normies, or outcasts who act like normies who want to be a part of normie society, which led to it going through the spectrum of normieness until it became known by the ultra-normies, including things like CNN and 12 year olds who watch the Paul brothers. Once the ultra-normies knew about it, they saw that it had slight racism and autistically screeched REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in unison until it broke wakes through normie culture, eventually leading to them disowning the meme.


It was stupid from the start. It took a meme that already existed and twisted it into something that sucked from the very first moment.<br>Do I know da wae? Yeah, I know da wae. DA WAE TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE BECAUSE OF NORMIES.

This meme blew up wayyy to much and it was shit. "Show me da wae to a better meme" lmao


the original was knuckles sings by Gregzilla


So what your saying is that the screechers killed it when they decided to join.......


Ugandan Knuckles is just Minions for edgy teens


Ugandan Knuckles, it was fun for a day tops. Then it died like Harambe, not with bullets, but from shame.


Normies are going to CrIn GE so hard when they scroll through your videos


0:21 you mean pewdiepie doing a meme review on it?


Next do Number 15 Burger King foot lettuce


Awesome analysis, although I sincerely believe you gave this meme a bit way too high rating. Was it intentional to not get the flow of angry normies?


Otherwise known as: Cancer in 60 seconds


If it doesnt get spammed doesnt that mean its not that funny to begin with?


Actually the animation was based on the sonic lost world review and this became a meme as Ugandan knuckles based on sonic lost world review and the movie who killed captain alex unity made a 3d model for VR chat and try fucking the people around by saying do you know the way plus it was part of a January meme and that is the origin!

Meme grade Sonic the hedgehog 3 & knuckles


We are in a cold war against normies! Soon to be nuclear war.

I liked the Knuckles Sings version of the meme better anyway.

That's a weird way to type meme grade A+


I really hope this video doesn't flood my reccomended with " dO YoU KnOw De WaY" video spam


A bit late.

More like a couple years.
Go ahead normies tell me its only 2 weeks old. Its not


Please don't contradict yourself from the BTM video with this copy-paste format for a meme review series. (same music, same aesthetic etc.) The rating and information is accurate, but I can already tell this can go in a bad direction. But if you think creating this series is fun, and because youtube isn't your job, have fun creating this and disregard this comment to the fullest extent.
