- What is Ugandan Knuckles VRchat meme? This one is the most popular meme of 2018 thus far. Do u know da wae has been everywhere! But What is the origin of the uganda knuckles meme?
We take a deeper look into the history and origin of the uganda knuckles meme! I explain the elements that have combined to make the meme and look into the origins of knuckles and the phrase "do u know da wae" or "do u no da wae" or "do u know da wei" or any of the other billion variations which it is spelled. Knuckles began life as a sega character in the 90's before becoming a popular meme in 2018 thanks to the game vrchat and youtube.

He only credits the shitty music that he uses in every single one of his videos
Then copyright him

I'm not too surprised since he does little research on his "quality" content that people will defend to the grave
I'm calling the police
Someone should tell him to "be original" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
that indeed angers me frame, he didn't even get the date right!

Yeah, it was funny for like a week.
KoopaProductions i totally agree with you.
It was maybe funny for the first time, but now it's not funny and is gay.
No the nail was already on the coffin he was more like pissing on it

He killed a dead meme how ironic

Humor's boring.
Music's repetitive.
Voice is bland.
Not taking criticism.
Painful editing.
Content is getting better, but painfully slow.
Already has a bad reputation from a You Tube Pooper.
And a music critic.
And a terrible response to the critic.
Not much to like his content with, honestly.
We need to support this comment to show BTM this comment.
Unit Robot yes
His videos are pretty fucking inoffensive tbh. This is a far cry from Onision exploiting underage girls, or Logan Paul laughing at a suicide victim.
I'll be representing the criticism for BTM, wish me luck.
This hate was so forced
I genuinely miss that era of UA-cam
Fr fr this brings back so many memories
It’s sad to see that it will never come back
We all do

I'm not going home xD
it was never alive tho
Wow, people back then really hate it when their precious memes get explained like this for people who also would want to join the fun and have a good laugh. I don't think it's killing the meme/s, more like expanding it to a wider area of appreciation. But damn it's sad how Behind the Meme just got bullied so hard back then.
Behind the Meme's "explanation" is always surface level. I could learn all of this (and more) from reading the Know Your Meme page. Like, Know Your Meme is already a tertiary source, making this a quarternary (if that's even a word) source.
* Quaternary (and that is a word)
because it attracts normies

That knuckles animation was a meme long before vrchat
Nicolás Alvarado where was it from
IDK what video but it’s Knuckles Sings
It's originally from Gregzilla's Kinda Review of Sonic: Lost World.
Vr chat just perpetuated it all
Supercjcom finally someone who's not a normie.
Lyrics:
hello internet, and welcome to behind the meme. Today we have a look at Ugandan Knuckles. damn this one has been everywhere lately from pewdiepie to that damn elders react series where a bunch old people were confused as hell with it. Sooo, how did it all happen. It starts in the 1990s like most good things do. (Plays MMMBop) yeah that shit is going to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day I'm sorry. The character knuckles is originally from the sonic the hedgehog series of video games. you know those video games where the main character runs around like he just drank a bunch of soda, coffee, and cocaine. and if you don't know what I'm talking about when I say that I'm talking about the video game where you're a blue guy who collects gold rings. (shows an original photo of knuckles) This is the original knuckles video game character who by the way is supposed to be an animal called an echidna which looks like this(shows a really close up photo of an echidna) Dude, don't ask me how they got this character from this animal. Sega must have been high as hell back in the 90s. SEGA!!!! So how did this become this. well the answer is surprisingly short. Kinda like my Dic tionary reading abilities. yeah that's totally what I was gonna say. It all started on the channel of youtuber Gregzilla. Who all the way back in the distant year of 2013 uploaded a video of himself reviewing one of the newer sonic games "Sonic Lost World". In the review he had the very brief animation of what we now know as Uganda knuckles. "So without further echidna! Oh no! Lets take a look at sonic lost worlds" That brief 1 second clip was the origin of the meme phenomenon that we now know and love today! I know what you're thinking and I agree. Lauren southern is total proof that god is real. Beauty and brains in one package, I mean c'mon. Oh...wait... you weren't thinking that? right you were wondering how a video uploaded all the way back in 2013 was able to create a new meme in 2018.
that's a good question. a very good question. Well along with the image of Ugandan knuckles the meme is closely associated with the term "do you know the way?" and by that I mean "dew u no de wey?" But of course being a meme on the internet in 2018 the phrase is much more complex than a simple question, instead being said in a stereotypical Ugandan accent. You see in the world of video game streaming a common joke has been for people to use sound clips of Ugandan warriors or soldiers or people or whatever it is they have in Uganda. You knw what? I don't know anything about Uganda and I'm not gonna act like I do. So lets see. It's in Africa... okay... (show the Ugandan flag) this is what their flag looks like. kinda cool kinda cool. and one of their biggest exports is coffee... So there we go. We learned something about Uganda! Peggy hill saying "I make learning fun. Incredibly fun." remember how I was talking about the accent and the sound effects of Ugandan soldiers? "Dew u no de way?" well it just so happens that another export of Uganda is action movies! that's right! American has the fast and furious series, mission impossible, john wick, terminator. the list goes on and on. well Uganda has movies that are pretty amazing in their own right. Movies like "who killed captain Alex". Now normally I would try to explain what makes who killed captain Alex so amazing but... words cannot do it justice soooooo..... have a look for yourself. The phrase commonly associated with the meme is believed to have originated from this piece of cinema history which was released in 2010 and made with a budget of only 200 dollars! There are various low budget Ugandan films that may be the origin of the term. But that scene you just saw comes the closest from what I can tell. So we have all the elements of the meme! The origin, The art, the phrase, but we're missing one thing that all memes have. The popularity! how in the hell did it become so popular?
The meme made the jump from simple art to virtual reality avatar in September of 2017, When the DeviantArt artist "Tidiestflyer" created a 3d model! along with his post, he offered a link for individuals to download his work which gave them the capabilities to use it within video games. Plays a clip of Steven from Steven universe saying "do you like video games?" you see certain video games allow you to create a custom avatar that represents you in the virtual world. Tidiestflyer's model began to heavily be used in a video game that does just that. VRchat. In late 2017 the game VRchat started to become very popular on twitch and on UA-cam amongst video game channels. The game is simple. You pop on a virtual reality headset and talk to other people in a virtual world. It wasn't long before videos of players having a ton of fun trolling other players as the character made their way to UA-cam where they have been viewed thousands of times and helped propel the meme to the next level of popularity. Now the meme has become the most popular meme of 2018 and has been used in so many different ways that have expanded beyond it's use as a simple animation and video game avatar. With Ugandan knuckles being used in more traditional meme formulas and within basic photo based memes. 2018 has only begun and it's already off to a pretty interesting start. So there you have it! What started off as a beloved video game character got mixed with some interesting element before eventually catching the internet's attention! But hey! That's the internet for you and on the internet memes are king! Thank you all so very much for watching! Make sure to subscribe so you can catch my next video and stay up to date on all your favorite memes and trends! Much love and appreciation! I'll catch you beautiful people next time!

CipherCommand Then why did I see an 8 year old spamming Ugandan Knuckles quotes yesterday when I was playing Overwatch?
That makes sense.
i agree
Doesn't mention the character was chosen because Forsens viewers streamsniped him in PUBG wearing red t-shirts to show they were stream snipers... disappointing video.
Exactly and the regzilla vid was created in 2017 not 2013, this guy barely does research

This meme died days ago by normies not BTM tbh
Meme - tastic! Stfu you normie
*reads title........soul breaks*
It's 2020 and we're still looking for *DA WAE*
This meme died after a week. However, people still used it to the point where sites like 9gag and iFunny was flooded with them. Plus, I swear to god I saw someone draw a Ugandan Knuckles as Sans from Undertale. This meme has been brutally murdered in the worst ways possible. People still didn’t want to admit that it was dead. But now, thanks to you, there is hope. Thank you, Behind The Meme., you’ve done something right.
The reason why this meme died so fast is because it's not very exploitable like other memes, when you can't get creative with a meme due to the limitations of the idea it ends getting annoying and in THAT point is when the meme dies
I don't know if you're joking but he just killed more
This meme is gonna be in the 2018 youtube rewind
You may be right lol
Probably
Oh god no
Perhaps they'll chicken out of it, because of all the SJW complaining that it's racist
He killed DA way
the meme was dead long before BTM posted a video on it.
Yep, and I am glad.

Did you just get your information on Know your meme? Like you have many things wrong about the meme. It’s a desecrate to Gregzila, the knuckles sings meme and VR chat.
This confirms the meme is dead
This is a meme I wouldn't care behind the meme killing
exactly.
I still remember years ago people on Twitter were going ballistic assuming it's making fun of Ugandan people in general and claiming it's racist. Bruh.
No lie, I love the whole Ugandan thing whether it's the accent or their low budget movies, but the way they present things is extremely entertaining and hilarious to foreigners and I love it so much.
