updated
Here at Behind the meme we explore interesting and odd internet topics and get to the bottom of the history and origin of your favorite memes and trends through humorous lessons that explain the meaning and origin of the topic.
Lately, air mattress Ashley has been a popular term used on tik tok to describe a women who knowingly sleeps with somebody's boyfriend or husband. She earns her name due to the fact that she sleeps on an air mattress and seemingly doesn't have her life together.
I have seen the stories and the memes for years and was always curious to why floridaman existed, it wasn't until this video that I did some research and discovered Florida is more progressive with its open records. This leads to easy access for reporters and ultimately an abundance of news stories that are often weird, shocking, and just straight crazy.
The lightskin stare has become a slang term used to describe a sexy look that is often used when people film videos or take pictures. It has an alluring presence that is defined by piercing eyes, pouty lips, a furrowed brow and just an overall smoldering look, typically given by a light-skinned black man. Since the look has become a cliche on tik tok, it has begun to be used as a meme online taking the same concept but applying it to movies and characters when a similar look is given. These videos are often accompanied with a song titled "sin city"
Let me know what meme or trend you wanna see down in the comments

The song has it's roots in the Super Mario video game franchise. Koopa troopa is an enemy of mario, often appearing in various games of the franchise. His appearence in "new super mario bros'" on the wii helped create the viral trend. In that game a song called "Overworld theme" was used which had characters dance during the part of the song that sounded like "Bah Bah", despite what situation he may be in. Others picked up on the humor of the dance and began to parody it. Helping create a viral meme/trend in the process.
Ohio Vs Michigan has been a rivalry that has lasted years, starting with the toledo war. Is it possible that what started off as a regional joke later evolved into an internet Joke that slowly began to take on a life of its own? Now it can be found on all corners of the internet.
Doing Behind The Meme has been one of the proudest accomplishments of my life, it's something that I've started to miss. Sure it has its ups and downs, but that is life in general, Right? It has taken some time and distance to observe life from a different perspective and realize the beauty of this short time we have.
I wanna give people an update on my life and what I have been doing as well as let you know about plans for the channel.
I hope you join me for a bit as we take a deeper look into some memes, weird internet occurrences and trends.
Online the film has grown to have a massive fandom where plots and parts of the movie are often debated and compared to other great works of cinema history. If you have yet to see this totally real movie you are missing out.
Ghost has also become the internet's new crush. With many creating art and fan fiction after seeing his dreamy eyes. Regardless of why you may like ghost, one thing is certain, he is a character that has had an impact on many people's lives.
I take a deep dive into the history and origin of the spider-man meme, which starts with everybody's favorite superhero, Spider-Man, or The Amazing Spider-Man, which happens to be the name of the popular animated TV show that the imposter Spider-Man meme originally came from. Since his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15, Stan Lee's creation has come a long way, starting as comic book hero and eventually becoming a famous and classic internet meme!

pooping is fun.

Spongebob Squarepants has seemed to be an endless supply of memes in recent years. Almost all characters have been the subject at some point. Patrick Star hasn't really had his moment to shine, until recently. The image of patrick is the perfect image to accompany text that represents the evil, sinister and malicious things we all think or sometimes do. Resulting in a funny meme that is relatable and easy to use and enjoy.

Originally being released in the late 90's to go along with the Mulan Movie.The dipping sauce once again became popular when it appeared in an episode of rick and morty. After it's appearance it set the internet on fire with hype and memes! Mcdonalds couldn't ignore the demand and finally re-released the sauce again in February of 2018. I had to have some fun with the review and taste test of the infamous sauce.

Black Panther has been a very successful film for numerous reasons. IT joins a long list of super hero movies that make bank at the box office. But black panther was special for those who have been waiting for a superhero to connect with. In the film the nation of Wakanda has become a paradise for many who now want to move there. But a fictional movie nation isnt real. Well, that's true but also kinda wrong.

Usually when you think about M & M's you think of wonderful chocolate candy. When you think of Bambi you think of a childhood story that has been read for ages. The last thing you may think about is a meme that involves those elements in a pretty odd way. Well welcome to the internet where your thoughts should always be questioned. Now listen to me young man is a copy pasta that has its origins in a tumblr post that took an odd turn in a hilarious way. Since then it has spread to twitter and the rest of the internet where it is used in a variety of ways.

The song "Mine" was released in October of 2017 by Bazzi. The song has been listened to millions of times on soundcloud and youtube but has recently become the subject of a meme that uses the song to compliment edits of people, places, or things to express admiration. The main momentum of the memes has been thanks to snapshat and the filters that have been created which allow the ease of use and creation.

The challenge is a bit vain and superficial but if you look around you see that's how most of society is sadly. One good thing about this era in which we live is it allows people to be creative and take elements from various places and use them to create something new, such as this trend and the music used within it.

We take a deeper look into the history and origin of the uganda knuckles meme! I explain the elements that have combined to make the meme and look into the origins of knuckles and the phrase "do u know da wae" or "do u no da wae" or "do u know da wei" or any of the other billion variations which it is spelled. Knuckles began life as a sega character in the 90's before becoming a popular meme in 2018 thanks to the game vrchat and youtube.

Nintendo has been producing video games for decades! In recent years they have chosen to focus on their controllers and consoles functions rather than graphical capabilities. Their next project follows that trend. The nintendo labo uses cardboard to utilize the nintendo switch in new and interesting ways. Upon the unique and creative product announcement it was quickly followed with memes and discussions about the topic.

It seemed only natural to take a moment to reflect and review the memes that have seemed to become a staple of president trumps first year in office. Never have we as a people been so dependent on the internet, and never has a president been so involved with this new landscape. From the news, to twitter, to youtube videos, to reddit discussions, it has been a hot topic. Naturally the meme has become a tool to add a bit of comedic relief in this interesting time in America. Regardless if you support or oppose the man, the memes have become a tool to bring us all together.

Your text messages and time spent on the internet wouldn't be the same without lol. Whether we like it or not lol and laughing out loud has become a part of this generations lexicon and remains a must know of internet lingo. I was personally curious to the history and origin of the term that has become a part of our language.

H3h3productions is my favorite youtube channel. I could go on and on about the reasons why I enjoy their content and videos. The point of this video is to take a deeper look into the history and origins of some of the popular memes and trends that have originated from their channel and community. There are many so I had to limit the video to the primary memes I was always curious about as a fan of their videos.

zootopia started off as a family friendly disney animated movie, becoming one of the highest grossing films of 2016! But in early 2017 it made it's way to the internet where it took on a whole new identity as a fan made zootopia comic with a story line that many began to wonder what it's intentions were. Along with the popularity of the comic came the memes and edits of the original art and dialogue.

Although 2017 is almost over that hasn't stopped a new social media trend to sprout seemingly over night and become popular on the internet! The #invisibleboxchallenge or #boxchallenge is a simple illusion similar to the acting of a mime. The particpants act as if an invisible box is on the ground and step onto and over said box. It sounds dumb, it kinda is dumb, but it has the ability to look pretty cool if done correctly.

We all know of or have been the person who is in a relationship that gets easily distracted by another woman or man that seems to be better than our current love. It is a natural way most humans act, it only becomes a problem when your loved one catches your wondering eyes! Enter a meme that became relatable to a wide audience on the internet in the summer of 2017! The meme started off as a stock photo by photographer Antonion Guillem and quickly made it's way to reddit where it spiraled into a meme highlight of 2017!

Most of us see the hashtag on a daily basis and never think twice about it's history or origin but I always wonder how things work and why they are the way they are so I began to wonder and uncover the story of the hashtags use on the internet and social media and look at the way it has shaped and influence the digital age in which we live.

Extra Extra! Read all about it! Notorious normie channel behind the meme got doxxed!
Except...I didn't.
Seriously though...guys cmon. My grandma is hella old and doesn't need stress. It's all so pointless and idiotic. I know people who would even think in this way aren't ehat you would call logical, but put yourself in my shoes. Hate me, but leave it at that before shit gets bad for you and myself.
Like I state in the video, I have plans that will make all parties happy. So...you know...calm down. We can all have our dank memes and live in our bubbles of thinking we are special snowflakes that truly appreciate them unlike others who "ruin" the joke.
We kinda have bigger things to worry about in this life other than memes...
