Overview

Handegg is a foreign and derogatory slang word for American football due to the shape of the ball and the fact that American football players often hold the ball while running instead of kicking it (with the exception of field goals and punts). The term is most often used by Non-Americans, specifically the British. Non-Americans often call American football “handegg” mainly because they may have been offended when Americans have called European football “soccer.”

History

Although the exact origins of the term is not known, a 2014 CBS Sports article suggests that the name may have originated from a 1909 comment to the New York Times in the following image below.



Online Presence

In 2009, Urban Dictionary user Pat E. Cakes submitted the following definition for handegg as, "American football. As opposed to football/soccer, where players actually kick a ball with their feet, american football involves players carrying an egg-shaped object in their hands. " The definition is currently the #1 entry for handegg with 3032 upvotes.

Throughout sites such as Facebook, 4chan’s /sp/, Reddit, etc., online users have often used the term handegg to mock fans of American football and their interest in the sport especially when the Super Bowl is taking place. During Super Bowl XLIX on February 1, 2015, British users on Twitter spread the hashtag #handegg to make fun of people watching the game. Some online users also make image memes to explain the difference between soccer and American football and why American football should be call handegg and why soccer should be called football.

A common joke in the series is the name on the packages, often using callbacks from previous videos (using names parodying his last name, which has never been stated, edups, or simply using the name Gay Niggerfaggot). Another common joke in the series is the use of money shots before opening each box.

Hey! That’s Pretty Good

About

Monty Oum is a self-taught animator and screenwriter. His crossover fighting videos gained him the attention of several video game and Internet production companies, most notably Rooster Teeth. Along with contributing to Rooster Teeth’s popular machinima series Red vs. Blue, he created the original web animation series RWBY.

Online History

Haloid

Haloid, Monty’s first published work. depicts a Spartan from Halo, Bungie Studio’s FPS video game series, fighting Samus Aran from Metroid, Nintendo’s action-adventure video game series. Using assets from Halo 2 and Super Smash Bros. Melee, Monty shows the two characters pitting their universe’s arsenal of weapons, as well as their own unique abilities and skills, against each other and eventually against the Covenant enemies of the Halo universe. The video’s conclusion also fully reveals the secrets inherent to the two combatants. Haloid would prove to be Rooster Teeth’s introduction to Monty’s work, but their partnership would not be realized until 2010[1].

Dead Fantasy

Monty would follow up Haloid with one of his most famous series where characters from Square Enix’s Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts series fought characters from Tecmo’s Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series. Although the series appears to have been made purely for fanservice, Dead Fantasy 5 shows glimpses into a sinister plot involving DOATEC, the antagonist of the Dead or Alive series, capturing the Final Fantasy characters for research purposes. Besides the five installments in the series, three more episodes were in development, alongside two released music videos featuring the characters dancing.

The FitnessGram Pacer Test

$

The FitnessGram Pacer(Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run) Test is a test used in American schools that tests the cardio abilities of children. The test is usually made fun of due to its Battle Royale like “last-child-standing” nature, the scared reactions of children who learn they have to take it, the goofy music that plays as you run that signifies laps, or the voice of the man who says instructions.

Origin

According to The official Pacer Test handbook, the Pacer test was created in 1982 by Leger and Lambert in 1982, claiming it to be an effective and fun way to measure the cardio abilities of a group of children.

The Test and How it Works

Since its creation, the Pacer test has been used in many schools to measure the abilities of the children, who see it as a race due to the organization of the actual test. Children are told to stand in a line, and run across a 20 meter space when they hear a chime on the tape. If a child fails to make it across before the next chime twice, they are out and have to sit and watch their classmates try to finish after everyone else. This is usually seen as an embarrassment, and leads to ridicule among peers, with insults such as “X is so lazy. He only made it past 10 beeps on the Pacer!” Due to this, the Pacer is generally seen with contention and resentment by children who have grown into adults that had to take it every year.

Immortalization as a Meme

In early 2016, the Pacer Test was turned into a Vine/ifunny trend with comical/shocking videos of people running. Though the origin of the meme is unknown, one of the earliest known uses of the test as a joke is that of ifunny user “TheGoldenDarkness”, who made a Vine that makes fun of the voice of the instructor by placing it over an annoying noise from a tv show (Below)



This sparked a new trend that has been slowly taking the attention of Vine users, and has infected ifunny.

#TonyTigerGate

Overview

#TonyTigerGate is the hashtag name given to an ongoing scandal surrounding the massive block of Twitter users who identify as furries by @RealTonyTiger, the official Twitter account for Tony the Tiger brand of Kellogg’s breakfast cereal, in response to a flood of lewd and lascivious demands tweeted at the corporate account by members of the furry fandom. Although the raid began in November 2015, the blocking began months later in January 2016.

Background

The Twitter account for Tony the Tiger[1] was launched on July 30th, 2013, but didn’t create its first tweet until September 18th of that year which simply read “Hello Twitter.”[2] Since then, the account frequently creates tweets by the character, often featuring themes such as his breakfast cereal Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and sports to match Tony’s sports enthusiast personality; with Tony the Tiger photoshopped into the pictures. The character itself is officially Tony Jr, the second generation Tony the Tiger and son of the first Tony.[3]



Notable Developments

On November 4th, 2015, Gawker first noticed the sudden influx of furries replying to Tony the Tiger with lewd and lascivious demands, featuring several in an article about it titled “Tony the Tiger Can’t Tweet Without Furries Begging Him for Sex.”[4] The official tweet[5] created alongside the article was also posted on the r/justneckbeardthings sub-Reddit,[6] where it managed to get over 300 upvotes in the following few months. The next day, several other news sites also created articles mentioning the tweets, including Bustle,[7] Deathandtaxes[8] and The Daily Dot.[9]



On January 26th, 2016, @realtonytiger started blocking furries who followed the account, making no difference between Twitter accounts who replied to the account and simple blocking furries in general (shown below). Following many furries reacting to the blocks on Twitter, several news sites made articles about the blocks and its reactions, including Gawker,[10] Metro UK[11] and Huffington Post.[12] Furries and supporters of @realtonytiger subsequently shared their reactions on the #TonyTigerGate hashtag.[14]



Following the bans by @realtonytiger, several furries started looking for a new Twitter account to follow. Initially they went to the official Twitter account for Pizza Hut, @pizzahut, after it coincidentally created a tweet featuring the word “knot,”[14] which also refers to a canine’s penis[15] and is used in the furry fandom as a slang term for an erection. Later that day, other furries stumbled accross the official Twitter account of Chester Cheetah, the official mascot for Cheetos brand snacks, and respectively asked him to be their “daddy”.[17] Suprisingly to many, the Twitter account replied positively, after which many furries started following the account and sending tweets to it. Both the blocks by @realtonytiger and the welcoming by @ChesterCheetah were subsequently documented by various news sites, including Paper Magazine,[13] Uproxx[18] and Buzzfeed.[19] On January 27th, Kellog’s provided BuzzFeed[19] with a statement about the blocking of all the furries:

“As a company grounded in the values of integrity and respect, we recognize people’s right to creative expression, but we reserve the right to block individuals who post offensive content.”

About

Nihilism is a branch of philosophy typically associated with existential nihilism, which asserts that the universe lacks cosmic or objective meaning and that life has no intrinsic value.

Online History

On March 21st, 2005, Urban Dictionary[9] user Johnnywang submitted an entry for nihilism with the description “it’s pointless to define it.” On October 6th, 2006, Xkcd[8] published a comic titled “Nihilism,” featuring a dialogue between two stick figure characters about the lack of cosmic meaning in the universe (shown below).



On November 21st, 2007, a page for nihilism was created on the Rational Wiki.[5] On May 22nd, 2009, the /r/nihilism[4] subreddit was launched for discussions about the philosophical position. On August 27th, 2010, a page was created for the “Straw Nihilist” on the website TV Tropes,[7] describing it as a philosophical character often identified as a bleak scientific materialist:

“The basis for the Straw Nihilist is usually extreme scientific empirical materialism; we’re all nothing but matter and energy and eventually the universe is going to die as if we never existed, so what’s the point in trying to hope and fantasize in a world full of suffering and destruction where morality is dictated by force. Your consciousness is merely an electrochemical reaction inside a dying chemical reactor called the brain which, out of animalistic instincts to protect itself from pain, creates the illusion of meaning and significance in a reality that has none.”

On March 30th, 2013, a page for nihilism-related quotes was launched on Wiki Quote.[6] On Juen 19th, 2015, the Life Is Absurd Tumblr[11] blog was created, featuring posts related to nihilist philosophy. On August 18th, YouTuber Veritasium uploaded a video titled “Our Greatest Delusion,” which espoused the intellectual and spiritual benefits of embracing nihlism (shown below). Within five months, the video gained over 1.17 million views and 12,000 comments.



Facebook Pages

On May 26th, 2014, the Nihilist Memes Facebook[1] page was launched, which features image macros, animated GIFs, comics and other web content containing nihilist themes or bleak philosophical messages. Within two years, the page gained over 281,000 likes. On April 17th, 2015, a similar Facebook[3] page titled “Nihilist Memes 3.0” was created, receiving upwards of 22,500 likes in the following nine months. On November 15th, the page “Nihilist Memes II”[2] was launched, which garnered more than 29,600 likes within two months.

The Neistat Brothers created and optioned a television show to HBO and it premiered in 2008, but it only lasted one season.[3] Casey Neistat’s second viral video hit came in 2010, when he attached one of the first GoPro models to his bicycle helmet and rode through the bike lanes of New York City, making observations about how dangerous it is to ride by staying in the bike lane, even when it was blocked by someone double parking, causing him to crash into the many obstructions. The film received acclaim for its humor and received mainstream press in publications like the Guardian[5] and the New York Times.[6]



Neistat has made many other viral videos, including ones that focused on the streaming service ChatRoulette, his grandmother’s history and life, and subway emergency procedures. He has also directed several structured and free-form commercials. On March 25th, 2015, Neistat began recording daily vlogs. In early 2016, during the Winter Stom Jonas, Neistat recorded a video of himself snowboarding through the streets of New York City while being dragged by a car; the video quickly became his third most popular of all time, with over 11 million views in three days.

Beme

In 2015, Neistat announced that he was cofounding Beme,[7] a video sharing social network where the user only shares videos that are captured with the away-facing camera, without the ability to preview or review. Similar to Snapchat, after the user views a shared Beme, the message is gone forever; however, if they would like to respond, they can record a real-time selfie while they view the message, allowing the original creator to see their reactions. Beme has received both praise and criticism, with some finding the method of interaction conducive to authenticity, while some finding the authenticity that results to be “boring,” as one writer wrote in Wired.[8]

Online Presence

Neistat joined YouTube in 2010 and as of January 27th, has over 2 million subscribers to his main channel.[9] He also has two other channels, Casey Neistat Snapchat Stories[10] and Casey Neistat Classics,[11] which have over 81,000 subscribers and 79,000 subscribers respectively. Neistat has over 709,000 followers on Instagram,[12] and 359,000 followers on Twitter,[13] as well as an unknown but substantial following on Snapchat.
