Cloudsong

Cloudsong is a meme based around a sound clip of a player expressing anger (“YOUSTOLE MY F**KING CLOUDSONG”) over a competitor stealing a magic cloak (or “cloudsong”) on him.

Origin

The original, full (and very profane) sound file comes from an MMORPG entitled Dark Age of Camelot. In June of 2005, YTMND user ava11 released a site with the famous quote superimposed over an image from World Of Warcraft.

Spread

Sites slowly started to materialize that summer. Often times, the quote would be remixed into other songs such as What is Love? by Haddaway. Other sites would mix the quote into various TV programs. On eBaumsWorld, a full length version of the recording was uploaded, which was subsequently released to YouTube in 2006.

Several parodies and art based on this have also been done, such as fanart of Jenny Wakeman (of My Life As a Teenage Robot) as the enraged player.

About

Great Day at the White House refers to a popular tweet by United States President Donald Trump, who tweeted “A great day at the White House” on the same day he fired his White House communications director and the Washington Post reported that Trump dictated his son’s misleading statement on meeting with a Russian lawyer.

Origin

On July 31st, 2017, President Donald Trump tweeted[1]“A great day at the White House!” The tweet (shown below) received more than 22,000 retweets and 101,000 likes.



However, despite Trump’s statement, many online were quick to point out that on the day Trump posted that, many he had already fired his controversial director of communication Anthony Scaramucci, after just 10 days of employment. Things continued to get worse that day as news of the Russiagate scandal broke that he had dictated a false statement regarding his son’s meeting with a Russian lawyer on his son’s behalf.[2] The latter could be a potentially legal issue.

Spread

Shortly after Trump tweeted, the his statements became the subject of mockery on Twitter. One user,[3] @EmmyA2, posted a variation of This Is Fine, replacing the titular line with Trump’s tweet. The post (show below) received more than 24,500 retweets and 62,000 likes in less than 24 hours. The image was also posted to Reddit[4] in the /r/funny subreddit, where it received more than 970 points (86% upvoted) and 50 comments.



Throughout the evening, people on Twitter continued to mock the president’s statement with jokes generally revolving around Trump’s supposed ignorance towards the many problems surrounding the White House. Twitter[9] published a Moments page to archive the response to the tweet.



On Reddit, Trump’s tweet became a popular subject of conversation appearing in several subreddits, including /r/politics,[5] /r/The_Donald (where it received more than 5,000 points),[6] /r/EnoughTrumpSpam,[7] /r/PoliticalHumor[8] and more.

The Frog In Tom Holland's Mouth

About

The Frog In Tom Holland’s Mouth refers to a joke theory spread through Tumblr that english actor Tom Holland, best known for playing Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Homecoming, looks like he is hiding a frog in his mouth and he can’t open his mouth or else it will escape.

Origin

On July 27th, Tumblr user opossume[1] wrote a text post that read:

ok tom holland is cute and all but he constantly looks like he’s hiding a frog in his mouth and it’s uncomfortably hopping around in there but he can’t open his mouth or the frogs gonna escape

A few minutes after that post, user fruitmeats[2] added several photos of Holland to opossume’s post to demonstrate what she meant. The post has gained over 106,000 notes (shown below).



Spread

The popularity of the post led to the joke to spread through Tumblr over the course of the following days, as users made text posts and image macros playing off the idea. Several inside jokes have developed as part of this theory. For example, a common thread in the jokes is that the frog is named “Dave” (example shown below, left). Others play off a theory that the frog in Holland’s mouth is actor Tobey Maguire, who played Spider-Man in the original 2002 film (shown below, right). That theory stems from a piece of trivia[3] that James Franco, who played Harry Osborne in the film, compared Maguire’s looks to that of a frog on set for the film.



While many have taken the jokes in good humor, other Tumblr users have criticized the meme for making fun of one’s appearance, especially in light of Holland being bullied for his looks in the past (examples shown below). The meme was documented by memedocumentation[4] on August 1st, 2017.

Fire Emblem Heroes

About

Fire Emblem Heroes is a mobile spin-off of the Fire Emblem series created by Nintendo and released on February 2nd, 2017, on iOS and Android. The series follows the general tactical role-playing style of the Fire Emblem series, but makes use of a Gacha system to summon units through RNG for the player to use in game.

History

[WiP]

Fire Emblem Heroes was first released on February 2, 2017 for iOS, and Android. The game revolves around a conflict between two kingdoms: the Emblian Empire and the Askran Kingdom. The former seeks to conquer the world, while the latter opposes the former’s ambitions. The player takes the role a summoner that can summon heroes from past Fire Emblem titles to aid them in their quest.[1]

Gameplay

Fire Emblem Heroes uses a gameplay style known as Gacha, which makes use of random-number generators to provide a player units to use in the game. In the game, these units can be summoned using orbs; providing discounts when summoning multiple units in a single session. Summoned units can be in a rating varying from 3 to 5 stars, with 5-star units having the best in-game stats but also featuring the lowest summoning rate. Additionally, the game features various elements present in the original Fire Emblem Series, most notably the weapon type system and the (dis)advantages these give against different weapon types.



Reception

[WiP]

Fandom

Wrys

Wrys is a male staff user within the game, and commonly scores amongst the lowest units in online rankings. During the early meta of the game, many players tried to summon for Takumi, a bow user with an unique skill that placed him amongst the best characters to many players – even arguably the best to most. However, Takumi was only available as a 5-star unit, while Wrys already started as a 3-star unit; with both units being colourless, this made the summoning odds of Wrys much higher than Takumi. Additionally, Wrys stood out compared to other colourless units since he was the only bald unit.



After skill inheritence was introduced to the game, Takumi eventually dropped in player rankings. Wrys however stayed an injoke amongst the game’s fans, this time no longer being a dissapointing summon result but instead a sexual predator with a preference for Nowi (a popular example of a Legal Loli in the Fire Emblem series).



Disgusting

“Disgusting” is a phrase uttered by Ephraim, a protagonist from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, during his introduction Paralogue. In the chapters, Ephraim appears as while boasting about his sibling bond with his twin sister, Eirika. It is however revealed that this led to the spreading of rumors, implying a incestuous relationship between the siblings, to which Ephraim replies with “Disgusting.” The oddity of this rant of Ephraim quickly caught up with fans of the game, who quickly depicted Ephraim as an overprotective brother in fanworks; while the phrase also managed to spread to other characters within the Fire Emblem series.

About

Right In Front of My Salad? is a quote said by a character in a gay pornographic film after she discovers that the two leads are having sex behind a kitchen counter upon which she’s eating a bowl of salad. The quote led to parodies and tributes online following its discovery in late July of 2017. It is used in various situations where one is indignant.

Origin

The quote is from the gay pornographic film Private Lessons 3, which was uploaded to Men.com on July 23rd, 2017. In the scene, two men are having sex behind a counter while attempting to converse with a girl on the other side of the counter. The girl slowly realizes what is going on, and indignantly asks “Are you two fucking? Are you serious? Right in front of my salad?!” The scene did not begin circulating online until July 29th, 2017. On that day, Tumblr user boymercuryx[1] uploaded GIFs of the relevant clip to the site in a post that gained over 51,000 notes (quote shown below). The following morning, user baghdadgaybar[2] uploaded the clip.



Spread

The video spread to Twitter shortly thereafter. Late on July 30th, Twitter user @ineedahitta[3] posted the video there, where it gained over 12,900 retweets and 25,000 likes. Meanwhile, the video quickly inspired parodies on Tumblr. On the 31st, user firstknivesclub[4] posted a It’s More Likely Than You Think edit with the phrase, gaining over 19,000 notes (shown below, left). On August 1st, Tumblr user theperksofbeingameme[5] added the quote to a GIF of reality television star Tiffany “New York” Pollard, gaining 600 notes (shown below, right).



On both sites, the quote began seeing use as a reaction to any situation in which one might feel indignant. For example, a post by Tumblr user tbhhhhhhhhh[6] used the quote in response to Professional Wrestler Sami Zayn losing on Smackdown on the night of August 1st (shown below, left). On August 2nd, Twitter user @tedromeda[7] used the quote in response to people disrespecting Rihanna (shown below, right).

Origin

On August 1st, 2017, Netflix launched a campaign about diversity and representation called “First Time I Saw Me” or “#FirstTimeISawMe.” The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness about the representation of people of color in popular entertainment, and to do that, Netflix interviewed to directors, writers, creators, actors and fans of color to tell their story of the first time they related to someone on TV or in the movies.

The first video featured on Netflix’s Facebook[1] page featured Krissy, who points to the Netflix series One Day at a Time as a realistic and positive representation of Latino and Cuban culture (video below).


Spread

Throughout the day, Netflix continued to share videos on various channels. Two of the videos that received the most attention featured directors Ava DuVernay and Spike Lee (videos below). In their respective videos, the two discussed the importance of having control of images on screen and how that opens up larger discussions about race in society, by allowing people of color to be portrayed in different ways and being able to make those decisions.



One of the most popular posts from the campaign came from the Twitter[7] account for Black Girl Nerds. They wrote, “BGN had an amazing chance to collaborate with @netflix for #FirstTimeISawMe, where we chat about the first time we saw ourselves in media.” The tweet (shown below) received more than 920 retweets and 2,100 likes in 24 hours.




Fans of the website also began tweeting. Throughout the day, people on Twitter shared their stories on Twitter, posting pictures of the first characters or actors that made them feel represented in popular culture.

Several news outlets covered the campaign including Entertainment Weekly,[2] Mashable,[3] The Daily Dot,[4] Elite Daily,[5] Indiewire[6] and more.
