    You know, I just keep thinking about when you did a video about marselo, and I'd love it if you made a video on ¡Que Picardía!; since it not only has a great story, but also a place in the modern meme landscape, as a surreal meme.

    • @SanMaster17
      @SanMaster17 3 роки тому

      ¡Que picardía! (translated: What a slyness!), had it's origins as a meme in the now rotting forum Taringa, and indicated an emotion of "spicyness". This meme then went on to spark a war between Taringa and 4chan due to it being used politically on the latter (still being used this way to this day). And then it evolved again and can now be seen in surreal memes. Love that meme. Hope someday you cover it in your channel. Greetings from Argentina.

    My cat is called Chungus and he was bigger than his own mom when he was only 4 months so he definitely lives up to his name ( He turns 1yr tmrw)

    1:54 Ah yes, one of the first recruits of the Floppa Army... or have you not realized what Big Floppa is planning? In any case, the Day of Floppening will come, and it will be epic.

    I've been watching a lot of caracal and other exotic cat videos during this fine quarantine. Maybe others are doing the same, and this is the result?

    Please make a meme lesson on the "Tylko jedno w glowie mam" song that plays either with a low quality dancing cow or a dinosaur and frog dancing paired with the demotivational poster format
