Tourettes

I request Tourettes Guy removed. The "official" link is broken or never existed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.228.12.249 (talk) 13:01, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Requested addition of "The dress (viral phenomenon)"

Please add in "The Dress" to the list of Internet phenomena in the images section. Sorry if I cannot add this in because of the lack of time I do have. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 08:05, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

It's already present, added shortly after it went viral. --MASEM (t) 14:21, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 16 August 2015

Add the meme "Mmm Whatcha Say" (like the Jason Derulo song) to the list of music memes.

108.50.230.136 (talk) 18:55, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

It actually originally came from an Imogen Heap song. Datbubblegumdoetalkcontribs 19:06, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Cannolis (talk) 20:02, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
And to add, we have the actual meme, "Dear Sister", which is the SNL skit that used the song that became the meme, listed already. --MASEM (t) 20:04, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Shia Labeouf

I request that the Shia Labeouf "Just do it!" meme (src) and the "Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf" song by Rob Cantor (original video) be included on this page. They've become quite popular. --104.235.102.206 (talk) 22:29, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure on the song, but the original video stuff is definitely sourcable as a meme. I have a BBC source to help even, and adding shortly. --MASEM (t) 22:37, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

The archive box above needs fixing - it only shows up to November 2012. Does anyone know how to fix this? Oncenawhile (talk) 16:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm working on re-archiving. The system that is currently being used is terribly inefficient. I'll let you know when I finish with it. -- Tavix (talk) 22:49, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 Done. -- Tavix (talk) 19:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

This article is difficult to navigate because the sections are organised alphabetically, instead of by date.

I will be bold and reorder the first section.

Comments on whether this is a good idea would be appreciated.

Oncenawhile (talk) 16:46, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Because it's nearly impossible to necessarily track these phenomena by date, and I can see edit wars breaking out to claim a meme came out before another based on ancidotial evidence. Alphabetic is a neutral way to do this. --MASEM (t) 17:00, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
We shouldn't let possible edit wars dictate what is right for the reader. That problem can be dealt with multiple ways. One good example is Talk:List of events named massacres - see the big red criteria box at the top? That could be used here, not just to specify the criteria for inclusion, but also to specific the criteria for dating (the criteria I would favour would be using the date it was first picked up by a major news outlet)
Do you not think that the average reader would benefit from having this list in date order? Particularly for those readers who come here to see to check for new notable memes.
Oncenawhile (talk) 19:27, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
I can see the value in it being sorted by date and I'm not sure the claim that it would lead to edit wars is valid. As long as the year is sourced, I don't really see the problem. Are there any entries where the year is ambiguous or hard to track down? -- Tavix (talk) 20:00, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
The other thing is - what does dates matter here? These aren't events where the dates when they occur matter. These are collective knowledge of the internet. And "date it was picked up by a major news outlet" again is vague and would lead to edit warring on what a major news outlet is, as well as the fact that some news outlets don't pick up on these until months/years later. --MASEM (t) 20:04, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Others should comment on whether dates matter, but I think it matters because (a) some memes influence others (e.g. this apparently includes references to other memes), (b) and the evolution of notable memes is of reader interest, evidenced by the existence of e.g. the Webby meme of the year (which may be worth mentioning in this article (e.g. 2012, 2013, 2014))
As to the date, i'll start another thread below. Oncenawhile (talk) 20:58, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

The first section of this version is an example of what is being proposed. Oncenawhile (talk) 20:18, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

RFC: How to define the date of a meme

Per Masem's comments above, dating of a meme can be unclear and subject to disagreement. I propose that just the year is shown (to avoid spurious accuracy), and that the years used in this article should be:

The two criteria (third party and WP:RS) are both easy to establish (with WP:RSN being used if there is a dispute on the latter). Oncenawhile (talk) 20:20, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Comment. I don't think this is a good idea. It will likely depend on original research. People will cite news articles and guess which ones are the first report. This is pure speculation, and it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:47, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
    • This is my primary concern - its going to be a game of favorites if we have to sort on date. Alphabetic avoids any major OR issues. --MASEM (t) 04:51, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Hmm. Thinking about this more, perhaps the one date that is factual is the date that a third party source states that the meme was first published. If a meme is truly notable, surely a press article would have mentioned such a date. Oncenawhile (talk) 11:53, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Burger King Burger Causes Green Poop

"Green Poop" - Burger King's Halloween Burger(Whopper) causes Green poop. Not just dark green, but a bright leprecon green! A few people think the A-1 sauce is the cause to green poop, but another possibility is the food coloring that is used to create the black bun effect. A variety of food coloring is used and among them is Blue num. 1 aka "brilliant blue." The thing about this blue is the intestines cannot absorb this and as a result comes out as green poop. Blue num. 1, when combined with yellow dye can create a green dye. In this case the unabsorbed blue dye was combined with bile and as a result green poop[1 1]Burger King's has reported that all their ingredients are FDA approved and that there is less than 1% of dye used in their food.[1] Rhet295 (talk) 17:15, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Netflix and Chill's Meaning

Neflix and chill now means something different. It's now a popular slang term used for hooking up and has multiple memes associated with it.[1 2][1]Rhet295 (talk) 23:28, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

This seems more apt as a slang term than anything as an "internet phenomena". Yes, it road the Internet but I don't see it comparable to what else we have. --MASEM (t) 00:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge

This challenge went viral with the hashtag #KylieJennerChallenge and received controversial attention due to its harming side effects. In this article, it is even being compared to the ice bucket challenge. [1]Rhet295 (talk) 23:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

I would like to make an add to this section where we show the juxtaposition of Kylie's lip plumpness. Also to add on, I think we should show the results of the challenge, while some had temporary plumpness others had bruised and damaged lips Rhet295 (talk) 21:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

For this being primarily a list article, we need images that are licensed freely to include that, which none of these are, and it should be trivial for someone to recreate a free image themselves. --MASEM (t) 21:41, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Great job with describing the juxtaposition of the contrasting pictures of her lips before and after pictures. Also, since it is very hard getting a picture because of licensing and copyright issues it is great that you linked out to another source Ashleenr (talk) 17:44, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Little Girl's Heartfelt Conversation to her Divorced Parents

Viral video with almost 7 million views of 6 year girl persuading her divorced parents not to fight and to be friends with each other. The little girl, Tiana acts as the grown up and gives a really heartfelt lecture. [1]Rhet295 (talk) 18:02, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

One of the difficulties with viral videos is if the video doesn't have long-term (read: a week out) notability, it's just similar to feel-good or click-bait type stories. For videos or music, besides having the secondary sources to show that, we should also have a blue-linked article as well that goes into more details. Otherwise, it is very easy to flood this page with viral videos that get mentioned but not fully detailed in major news sources. --MASEM (t) 23:44, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

I think this would be a great addition to the page. The hashtag in itself is enough to prove it as an internet phenomena. It remains a relevant phenomena, since some celebrities mocked the famous shot for their halloween costume. [1] Gmferr (talk) 22:14, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

This particular meme/hashtag aspect I would agree, but before adding , keeping in mind BLP issues, are there other internet phenomena related to Kim Kardashian that could be grouped with this? I have a poor memory but something nags me that she's been part of a meme before this. --MASEM (t) 23:20, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment Masem, I'm sure there's many other internet phenomenas related to Kim Kardashian because of her popularity, but this was one that was highly publicized. If the meme is the problem, I'd be willing just to add the particular hashtag (#breaktheinternet) but for future reference when I'd like to add a meme, what would be a good example (using this reference)? Rhet295 (talk) 18:04, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

I think this would be good to add to the page, because this was a huge deal when the magazine picture came out and it was a phenomena, it is still talked about today. Ashleenr (talk) 18:08, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

This would be a great addition, the hashtag on it's own says it all - it did break the internet. The famous memes about this image would be worth adding since so many people replicated the image, including celebrities. Laorduno (talk) 18:13, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and add the #breaktheinternet part at least. That's readily sourcable. --MASEM (t) 23:49, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Bean Boozled Challenge

This Jelly Bean Challenge is an online dare in which the participants try the jelly beans from “Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans” or also known as “BeanBoozled” box.

Besides the countless challenge videos, I think that the Bean Bozzle Challenge is something that is popular because of several reasons. One is that there are hashtags relating to the challenge for example #beanbozzled on twitter.[1] Bean Bozzle is a famous game that is "circulated online" and also because of it's popularity, the game is usually sold out.[2] The producers of the Bean Bozzle Challenge had to make the game more readily available due to the high demand.[3] Also, the Challenge is referred as a "huge game this year."[4] RTung (talk) 19:11, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

We need much stronger sourcing; we can't rely on solely viewer counts or hash tag uses ourselves and a product being popular does not equate it to being a internet phenomena. --MASEM (t) 19:30, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

May I ask what counts as a stronger sourcing? A source from a news company or are we looking for a specific something? I'm a little unclear in what could be used as a strong enough source for this. I may be wrong, but it seems like the only problem with this is that we need stronger sourcing and that this could count as an internet phenomena. RTung (talk) 02:50, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

We ideally want a national or international newspaper or current events magazine like the New York Times, the BBC, the Los Angeles Times, etc. A statement from the copyright is a primary source and not sufficient to demonstrate something being a phenomena since that can be taken as self-promotional. --MASEM (t) 02:56, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm having trouble seeing the difference between some of the suggested topics (like this topic) and the one's already added to the Wikipedia page. For instance, under "Videos" there's one called Charlie Bit My Finger that got a number of views and was still added. What is the different between that and something that gets over 64 million views like Three-Year-Old Beyonce Dancer Is Heaven!? I understand that it's difficult because viral videos often don't have long-term notability and it can be challenging to find blue-linked articles as secondary sources. But, how are they being evaluated because it seems to be defeating the purpose/definition of this page, "This is a partial list of social and cultural phenomena specific to the Internet, such as popular themes, catchphrases, images, viral videos, and jokes. When such fads and sensations occur online, they tend to grow rapidly and become more widespread because the instant communication facilitates word of mouth." Rhet295 (talk) 08:25, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

A popular video is not the same as a viral one. It has to do with its growth and spread, hence why pure popularity doesn't cut it. --MASEM (t) 10:15, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

There are many examples of the growth and spread of the Whip and Nae Nae dance. This Time magazine article shows elementary school students partaking in the viral dance moves. [1] Celebrities are in involved, too. Jimmy Fallon did the Whip and Nae Nae dance in his extremely popular Lip Sync' Battles. I think these links, and many more, show that this dance went viral this summer. [2] Rhet295 (talk) 03:05, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Please add Darude Sandstorm to the list of music. When people ask what song was used in a video, people will direct the person to the song Sandstorm by the producer Darude. [1]

Not done: Being a popular song isn't the same as an internet phenomena. It's not a meme. -- ferret (talk) 19:25, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
It is certainly a meme. (Per our Wikipedia definition a meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". This time it is a behavior to reply in a certain way when asked what the title of a song is.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Can you find any reliable sources (follow the link to see what reliable sources by Wikipedia standards are) talking about the meme? I would gladly add it, but I don't have any reliable sources I can use. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
This list will never be complete because the bulk of memes that are out there are not well documented outside of sites like Know Your Meme and such. Nor do we expect this list ever be complete because of that lack of documentation. So while this certainly may be a meme, if there are no sources we can't add it. --MASEM (t) 00:40, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Illegal Flower Tribute

Illegal Flower Tribute still redirects to this article and is still an "internet phenomena" in the Chinese Web. Why was it removed and by what process?

172.56.41.46 (talk) 08:14, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

You can look at the history of Illegal flower tribute (follow the link under the title after you are redirected), and you can see that the state of the article before the merge [1] had all of two sources, and only one being about the meme specifically. That fails our notability guidelines. --MASEM (t) 15:24, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Ocean Man

The Ocean Man meme should be listed under the music section as the first popularized meme of 2016. Khalil Kittredge (talk) 02:54, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

I see no sources confirming this as a meme. --MASEM (t) 03:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
That is because it is a very new meme, and because of that it is quite difficult to find sources. I would argue that it should be added, but not until proper sourcing can be done; my fear is that it will be forgotten before such sourcing can take place. Khalil Kittredge (talk) 08:59, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
If no sourcing can be found, then that indicates its not a meme to include on this list. Not every meme that does appear on the Internet will appear here, only those that get covered in mainstream sources. --MASEM (t) 05:03, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Rap King under Music - no evidence

With no given citation, and a Youtube video with around 120 views, more evidence will need to be given to justify 'The Rap King of Noblesville' being an Internet phenomena. Considering the editor of the subject has a username similar to that of the video's channel, deletion may be necessary if deemed appropriate.

John Cena Meme

Bold split off of viral videos

I have boldly split off the video sections to List of viral videos as it was becoming impossible to edit this whole page. I do want to add a separate section there for official music videos (not things like Numa Numa Dance), which may affect some of the "Music" videos on this list. I have redirected that page's talk page to here, so these articles can still stay in sync. --MASEM (t) 19:55, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

I agree with the split too. There are so many viral videos from Youtube and other sides. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 03:01, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Just keep in mind that there are a lot of "viral" videos that are brief notices by mainstream papers, and while they are viral, there's little detail of the origin of the video and as such should not be on this list. (All that are on this are fine so far). --MASEM (t) 03:51, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Donald Trump's hair

@Masem: come on, your revert[2] is really inappropriate, especially with the argumentations:

  1. "potential BLP violation": then we have to delete all of Islamic Rage Boy, Qian Zhijun, Kylie Jenner, Bill Gates, Craig Shergold, Jeff Gordon, Downfall, Kevin Bacon, Leeroy Jenkins, Vancouver Riot Kiss, McKayla Maroney, Chuck Norris, Success Kid, and especially the whole politics section, too. You can't be serious on that.
  2. "less of an internet-driven phenomena": look at the sources, they're all on the internet.
  3. "the bulk of sources used are not appropriate (particularly youtube)": first you want something particularly "internet-driven" and then won't accept YouTube? Sorry, no offense intended, but that's purely ridiculous.

I certainly support re-wording and improvement, the sources are too many, so constructive-minded collaboration means to help picking the best and findig better, if you prefer. There's much more out there: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. --SI 23:16, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

The BLP issue is less a concern than the sourcing, but it is potentially a problem if the sourcing is not up to par. But the sourcing is the key. Just because you found sources on the Internet doesn't mean it is necessary an internet-driven phenomena. We want sources not that demonstrate the meme, but discuss the meme to some depth (in other words, youtube videos showcasing the meme are not appropriate). I do think there may be a way to include it looking at some more recent sources. But the other factor is that his hair has long been a running joke since as far back as The Apprentice if not earlier, and it didn't need the Internet then to propagate it - it was par for the course in celebrity/comedian circles to make fun of it then. (Even searching, I see pre-2000 hits for it). That it become more a meme when he announced his potential run for candidacy really is just regurgitating what's happened in the past. --MASEM (t) 00:37, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

New section proposed - Catchphrases

I have brought up the idea of adding a section regarding Catchphrases and meme-like sayings, and whether or not they would be appropriate on this article. Please refer to the conversation here, link. I'm also interested in the interplay of how the meaning of a phrase can change depending on the context, and what cultural references are most popularly associated with it. Examples would include something like:

  • A poem being quoted in a time of war by a powerful leader, changing the context from one of poetic intellectualism to more of a patriotic idealism
  • A phrase previously used as a rallying cry morphing into an embarrassing turn of phrase, due to a change in slang, or association with comical caricatures in the mainstream.

A real world example of this might include something like Borat changing the association of Kazakhstan from one of post-Soviet poverty, to what amounts to the butt of a joke.

If you have constructive input or if you happen to know of an article that already better fits this niche, please respond. Like I stated in the original discussion, I'm planning on waiting several days before adding anything major. I suspect that something like this already exists, I'm just not imaginative enough to think of what it might be called. In the event that it doesn't already exist, I suspect that a lot of examples could be made available very quickly, which would necessitate the need for a clear-cut definition of what would, and what would not, be applicable to that section. Input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sawta (talk) 21:55, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Per a lot of other meme articles. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 01:26, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

I honestly don't thing a single unknown meme warrants having its own article. If anything we should delete the article entirely and complete this merge. UN$¢_Łuke_1Ø21Repørts 16:24, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
I think the caption is so memorable it does deserve a stand-alone article rather than a paragraph in List of Internet phenomena werldwayd (talk) 20:39, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
@UNSC Luke 1021:, I would argue that this meme is fairly well known. I've seen it reposted many times throughout the years. I can attempt to find sources, if you do not believe me. I should note that I have very little experience citing sources and would need to brush up on WP on sourcing, but I can make the attempt if you wish.
@Werldwayd:, An alternative to keeping it as a separate article, but still giving it "room to breath" might be adding a section devoted to "Catchphrase memes". It doesn't have to be a catch-all dumping ground for terms and phrases that don't fit in other categories either; I think a catchphrases section would have significant room to grow, and very well might end up requiring its own page after some time, depending on the specifics I outline below:
Think something similar to the act of people repeatedly quoting memorable lines from Movies or Television shows, which eventually make there way onto the Internet, and are then adopted and often remodeled in similar but unique ways. E.g. "I Love Lamp." being transformed into "I love (blank)", "Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong." being transformed into "Am I (blank)? No, it's the (blank) who are wrong." "Join the Military, they said. It'll be FUN, they said!" being transformed into "(Blank) the (blank), they said. (Blank) will (BLANK), they said!" etc. The quote itself can move beyond the realm of the original context, maintain cultural relevance or meaning, and be able to stand on its own without it's users needing to know the original context in order to understand what's being communicated. A pre-Net Culture equivalent of this might be: "Here's Johnny!" is a phrase that people typically associate with the quote from the movie The Shinning, which in turn was a quote from the TV Show, The Johnny Carson Show. The original meaning would imply a welcoming feeling, but the new meaning takes on a menacing feeling, which in turn is then made outlandish or sarcastically by the person uttering the phrase.
I don't know if the "God Kills a Kitten..." phrase would be a good example of what kind of dynamics I have in mind, but I do think that this phrase is appropriate for this article, and should be acknowledged by Wikipedia. I recall seeing this meme in usage since at least 2004-ish, if not earlier.
If anyone can think of another article that already covers this kind of information I've highlighted, but in better detail/more appropriately (preferably with a Net Culture aspect to it), please let me know. I'll wait a few days, prior to adding a section to allow for response, discussion, etc. Thanks. Sawta (talk) 21:34, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
I've never heard of this meme, so I'm not sure. UNSC Luke 1021 (talk) 21:45, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
I agree with UNSC Luke 1021 that I don't thing this meme warrants having its own article. I would support it being merged. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 03:08, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure where my head was at the time of my first response. I have to agree with Kind Tennis Fan and UNSC Luke 1021; I don't think that this particular meme is well known, or complex enough to require its own article, however, I do I think that it does deserve some sort of mention on Wikipedia and should have a place within this article. Whether that be through some kind of a phrase section, or perhaps on the Images section(?), it should still have a spot both because of its impact on Net Culture and historical relevance and influence on modern memes.Sawta (talk) 15:09, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
