- 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.

FrameRater I know
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!
Wait, you should credit me for at least the thumbnail bruh
shgurr do u no de wae then?
It shgurr
He only credits the shitty music that he uses in every single one of his videos
Then copyright him
True
In the end...he Lost his wae :(
No we didn't

It’s sad to see that it will never come back
We all do
Wrong
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.
The market crash of 1929, the video game crash of 1983, the meme crash of 2018

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!

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
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
Who killed captain Alex? WTF LOL 😂

Behind the meme didn't kill Ugandan Knuckles, you guys did. He did us a favor and put the nail on the coffin.
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

Padoru it’s his fault he just kills people’s favorite memes
@@kayekol thats not true, he's just explainin about the history of it and how it all started
@@goldendocsonic2012 And doing an ignorant, poorly made job for it.
Plus explaining this kind of memes ruins the magic they have
Mattroid but what if u don’t even kno the meme and want to kno about the history but no one is goin to talk about it?
Anyone here in 2021 now that the meme got revived?
It's 2020 and we're still looking for *DA WAE*

Gregzilla's review was uploaded in 2017 dude, not 2013. I clicked on his video and saw that the upload date was February 20, 2017. Sorry buddy.
Did you look it up on knowyourmeme.com
You know 4chan had a bet you wouldn’t go this low. They lost
Better use Uganda Knuckles in UA-cam rewind 2018
Yeah seeing how it's a normie meme now.
Its been a week and I still have that song stuck in my head
Lol this video is about to pay your rent again this month, congrats bro 🤝
People say A meme dies twice.
Once, when people stop using it.
Twice, when behind the meme makes a video on it.

You’re definitely a normie if you think this meme is still alive.
You know when a meme is normiefied when Behind The Meme posts something about it
meme over everybody go home
Hayston 20 meme cremated and ejected into fucking space everybody go home
Correct
U don’t kno de wey
I'm not going home xD
it was never alive tho
Posted January 26.... literally weeks after the Ugandan Knuckles meme died... THATS WHY EVERYONE HATES HIM.
He doesn’t “Destroy” or “Exterminate” memes, he makes Low Quality, Low Effort videos Poorly explaining a meme that is already Weeks dead.
Ugandan Knuckles is one of the first memes of 2018. And memes have a life span of 2 days AT MOST. So when you post a video explaining a meme literal weeks after it became popular.
He doesn’t destroy memes. He beats a dead horse
I agree
mrlabear crouse dunno y u had to write this comment it’s probably just to hate
He makes them accessible to normies
This meme will never die it stays alive inside of vr chat
Xx___Minecraftboy76___xX yup
Correct

Generally Speaking you will explain it to normies and they will use it a lot until it’s dead
It’s a fucking joke
Well, I guess we killed someone because he killed memes.
You’re a bit right
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
bajs stealing memes from juicers haHAA
Can u guys please stop hating on this guy please
Kobe Brown yes! He DOES NOT deserve hate
HelloMyName'sCat :3 True!!

That's why we hate him
He killed MLG and pepe and dat boi
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 is the first time i enjoy a video from this channel.
Ok, this video is actually awesome. Why the dislikes?
he stole the thumbnail
YES THANK YOU, KILL IT, IT WAS TRASH SINCE DAY 1
1. Congratulations, you killed the meme.
2. You forgot to mention that the meme used to be Knuckles Sings, which THEN became Ugandan Knuckles.
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
What a wonderfully informative video. Thank you so very much.
Quite.
This video deserves more likes!

Jokes on you, you can't kill something that's already dead
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
First time we actually thanked you for killing it
Wait. Then how did kinnin from a anime I can pronounce get into this meme?
It's called behind the meme because you know you can leave the meme behind after he makes a video on it.
John Smith it been dead for a few weeks bud
seriously how is he killing memes, what did he do? he is just telling us how it went trending
i hate all of you that hate him he did nothing wrong
Crappy Banana only thing i will understand is the way he talk like his talking to children but other than that his content is good.
do u no the wae
I recommend watching EmpLemon's video on the topic. It's a bit long (32 minutes) but worth every second.
ua-cam.com/video/qFGqhEVr7lk/v-deo.html
i bet u the person who got the "'do u know the way" tattoo is really regreating it right now
This guy walked so lessons in meme culture could run
There was another meme channel called Meme Alert now his channel dead like Behind the meme
Is it possible to make a dead meme more dead???
BasicShook idk
This guy killed the meme
ITS ALIVE FOR UGANDA AND DEAD FOR NON UGANDA PEOPLE
Send it to hell
BasicShook it dies so fast
Now the meme is officialy dead.
This video was a blessing in disguise.
i find nothing wrong with your channel i think you're pretty funny in a sort of ironic way and everyone is missing the point, also very informative i'm learning a lot
do u no de wae
Luckily, the meme was dying before he made the video.
And he over killed it

fuck
You. Killed. The. Best. Meme. Of. 2018.
Mr. happypineapple who cares him making a video didnt kill it
Dank u ma braddah i now no de wae afder 3 long yess
I love your video
All the hate is kids on their dads iPad jumping on a bandwagon because they want to hate on someone much older than them and misuse the terms "normies,cancer, killing memes..." While trying to be edgy
Fire Master says the normie.
Fire Master i know right? So True. Those annoying haters should shut the fuck up
Fire Master thank you for finally telling the truth about all the normies saying behind the meme ruins memes
Ninja Jo5iah He does.
Watch EmpLemon's video on him. He explains it well.
Ziggmanster I've watched it already. I don't get why everyone hates him just because a famous UA-camr did
well to be fair, the meme already died before he did the video, so...
See that's where you're wrong kiddo
he's right tbh
Dont know why I'm commenting on this that was uploaded two years ago but hear it is.
The term came from the video game, assassin creed origin. Not a Ugandan movie. In the game you very frequently hear npc's say " do you know the way"
most BTM arent accurate
"Not a Uganda Movie" sad lol
The death of my most favorite meme ever ;-;
The meme was dead, but you burned the corpse
Can you do the "somebody tocha my spaghet!" Meme?
Desghidorah The great. Delet this
No.
Desghidorah The great plz no
No dont
No don't fucking give him eny ideas. That meme is still clinging to its last life don't you dare
