Renata Bliss Dancing

About

Renata Bliss Dance refers to a freestyle dance by fitness instructor Renata Bliss that went viral in 2015, inspiring remixes and parodies.

Origin

The clips in the viral remix video come from a program from Club Dance Class, according to a now-defunct website that was active as early as October of 2011.[1] The website is now defunct because, as Bliss would later admit in a YouTube video (shown below), she had created a persona as a “wing-girl, personal stylist, and social stylist” and in order to speak at events, she needed a product to sell to speak, so she invented a fitness routine.



The clip saw viral success after it was posted in the summer of 2015 to YouTube. It went viral after a post by user Stephahahan uploaded a short, nine-second cut of the clip that gained over 2.5 million views (shown below).



Spread

The spread of the video was covered by COACH[2] a week after the video was posted to YouTube. Remixes of the clip spread using different music over Vine in the following months (compilation shown below, left). On October 8th, 2016, the clip was included in a Pewdiepie video in which he talked about some of his favorite videos, which gained over 8.1 million views (shown below, right).



On October 9th, 2016, a GIF of the dance was uploaded to 9GAG on October 9th,[3] where it gained over 20,000 likes. Reddit’s /r/whitepeoplegifs[4] on November 20th, 2017, where it gained over 23,000 upvotes.

Spread

On November 5th, 2015, Redditor Rolfy submitted the video to /r/DeepIntoYouTube.[3] On January 5th, 2016, a page for a copypasta based on the video was submitted to the Trollpasta Wiki.[2]

I have a story to tell you from the old days of the internet. Something that has left me shaken and depressed since it happened to me. It all started when one of my friends on AIM sent me a link to what I thought was free game demos. But when I clicked the link, I got this instead:

Youve been gnomed
Youve been gnomed.wmv

Needless to say, I was shocked. Not only was the creature for me not a gnelf or a gnoblin, he was also not free game demos. I couldn’t believe I had been tricked like this. But I wasn’t creeped out (Or at least, I tried not to be), so I just shook it off and continued searching for free game demos.

Anyway, a while later, I came across the shareware version of Quake. I downloaded it and installed it onto my computer. If you don’t know of it, the shareware version of Quake only has the first of the game’s four episodes accessible, with doors blocking off the path to the other three. I played the first episode and it was really fun; back then Quake was the best game ever. But when I got to the boss of that episode, a guhnome popped out and said “You’ve Been Gnomed!” It was the exact same gnome from the video! I couldn’t believe it. Now I was a little scared, but I decided to keep looking for free game demos.

That night in my dreams, I kept seeing visions of a guhnome who was not a gnelf or a gnoblin telling me that I’d been gnomed. I woke up and there was hyper-realistic blood EVERYWHERE and a note that said “You’ve Been Gnomed!” Needless to say, I was really scared, so I ran out of my house to the nearest hotel. As I was walking through the door, I couldn’t help but think that the garden gnome outside was looking at me strangely. But I shrugged it off.

I walked into my hotel room, and when I closed the door, the lights started flickering and swinging around. I didn’t care though, so I tried to go back to sleep – but the gnome nightmares had followed me. I slept all night like that, waking up terrified, eventually getting back to sleep and waking up after a few seconds of the gnome’s face. When it was finally morning again, there was writing on the ceiling in hyper-realistic blood.

“If You WaNT The NiGHtMaRES tO StOp, ShArE The GNOmE VIdEo WITh YOuR FRIeNDs”

So that’s what I’ve done. I’ve written this pasta to try to get more people to see the You’ve Been Gnomed video. Hopefully now, the nightmares will stop.

On February 1st, the “You’ve Been Gnomed” Facebook[1] page was launched. On September 30th, a “deep fried”: version of the video was uploaded by YouTuber Frootlewpz (shown below).



On January 20th, 2018, the original video was submitted to the /r/youtubehaiku[5] subreddit, where it gathered more than 1,900 points (90% upvoted) and 75 comments within one month.

Flamin' Hot Cheetos

0

About

Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are a type of Cheetos puff snack that are spicier than normal Cheetos. They are frequently referenced in memes for their spicy taste and their creation story has inspired an in-production biopic for their creator.

History

Flamin’ Hot Cheetos were invented by Richard Montanez, a janitor at Frito-Lay, the company that produces Cheetos.[1] After realizing there were no products that catered to Latinos, Montanez had the idea to add homemade chili powder to undusted Cheetos. After doing so, he phoned the CEO of the company Roger Enrico and pitched his idea. Flamin’ Hot Cheetos hit the market in 1991 and Montanez was named Vice President of Frito-Lay. There are currently five different types of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and it is considered one of Frito-Lay’s most popular products.[4]

The product caused controversy in October of 2012 when schools in California, New Mexico, and Illinois banned them, citing how unhealthy they were.[2] Around the same time, CBS[3] reported that the snack was causing kids to go to the emergency room because they saw red in their stool. In January of 2018, a doughnut shop in Michigan sold over 600 “Flamin’ Hot Cheeto” doughnuts in two hours.[5]

Related Memes

Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are generally referenced in memes for their popularity and spicy taste. While there is no specific style of meme for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, they appear in various templates. In December of 2017, Popsugar[6] ran a compilation of memes related to the product (examples shown below).



Creator Biopic

On February 22nd, 2018, Variety reported that Fox Searchlight pictures had bought the rights to a biopic about Richard Montanez’ life.[7]Twitter users joked about the news. For example, Twitter user @cherielovesyou mentioned actor Oscar Isaac was perfect for the part because of his famous photo in which he is seen eating Cheetos with chopsticks (shown below, left). User @MatthewACherry sarcastically congratulated Donald Trump, implying a movie about Cheetos would be about the president (shown below, right).
