First impression watching this video..
1. Wow, so this is the guy behind the Nyan Cat Meme..
2. What a cute cat Meme..
3. Nooooo.. Marty.... Rest in Peace, Buddy!
I don't expecting that's gonna be so sad..
Ah i see your a man of culture as well, Zura.
After all these years...we finally have the story of the meme that changed the world...
*Nyan cat*
Yeah
The first internet meme
Whos world's? Pathetic
@@wileecoyote5749 not a normie's world like you. pathetic.
@@UCgx7OseCrundqkE8oEVeobg Why you got to be like that? It's just a meme.
This is like
“When your pet thanking to you before they died”
Yep marty thanked him by making him a celebrity
69 likes bout to ruin that
@@ovumregia8554 Thanks, Brenda!
@@dragulia_venaro you're welcome
@@ovumregia8554 no like ACTUALLY THANKS
Why can't I have a sudden Eureka moment like this? Neither blessed in art nor in science 😭
because you have a better chance buying a bunch of lottery tickets each week.
Because you don't put effort and expect things to fall on your lap without deserving
@@shinji5217 damn why you guys gotta be fucked up lol. Maybe encouraging words could be better. Idk just a thought lmao
@@TheCrispyTwinkies nope, he's clearly spoiled. If I go sweetie sweetie on him he'll keep being this weak bastard. It's best for him to swallow the truth up.

Truly a childhood legend. Rest well Marty 🥺🌈
This might be the only NFT I respect. It's got a good reason to, as well as actually being good art unlike those monkeys or lions
Yeah..
still not worth half a mil dollars
@@youcefraven most nfts arent even worth a single dollar, honestly this nft stuff just seems to be a scam. and this, yeah this is worth more than most nfts, it is actual art, but its still not really on the level of bob ross for example, and even he sold his paintings for a couple thousand dollars, not even close to half a million.
@@yoro__33 the value of Bob Ross's art didn't come until after his death.. now they're priceless because the estate has made it next to impossible to buy one. if they did come up for sale I'm sure some of them could easily fetch half a million.
@@yoro__33 Yeah NFT's are scam, but it's not like they are the only trash sold for millions. Have you seen modern "art" lmao that garbage sells for 10 times as much.
It’s inspired me so much, I even made a PowerPoint game at school based on Nyan Cat!
Damn!

As an artist myself I confirm that you should never resist the urge to create something if you wake up with an enlightenment when it's midnight. It is 100% going to be something you will be proud of
it's hilarious that he was able to cash in on the NFT trend so big.
I find it fascinating how all of the memes we know, love and used have these stories behind them like I never took the time to try and find more about them, good job!
It’s more the old memes that were like that. You don’t see many memes with inspiring stories behind them anymore.
R.I.P Marty.
In 2010 a legend sure was born. Now it comes to an end. I'll miss you Marty.
Wow I had no idea Nyan cat was still a thing today. Haven't heard or thought about it in probably 5 years or so
Same tbh
What do you mean you didn’t thing it was a thing today? Do you think things on the internet just suddenly disappear
@@stopholdingnuts Obviously I was saying I had no idea Nyan cat was relevant today. I'm pretty sure it's not, so seeing a video about it now is just strange. Welcome to the internet btw! Hopefully you pick up on internet slang more easily moving forward.
@@Flareboxx Well I guess that’s what happens when you have a life outside of the internet..
@@stopholdingnuts I'd beg to differ that means you don't have a life, otherwise you would have heard this slang from other human beings... But either way, glad this was a teachable moment.
its impressive a fundraiser became a meme though
Marty, you're immortal now! You'll always have a place in our hearts! ❤️🌈🐱
Fun Fact: The Nyan Cat theme was created by a VOCALOID Producer named *daniwell-P*
The Original Nyan Cat song was first sung by *Hatsune Miku* and then the most known Nyan Cat song was sung by an UTAU called *Momone Momo*
That's all! Thank you for reading!
crazy to see momone momo of all things make it to the "internet mainstream", people outside of the vocaloid/utau community really only know miku but to have an utau that's not even teto make its way outside to other people is pretty crazy
you should also add that Momo's version was made by ももももP, and that saraj00n combined the music and the gif.
@@leave-a-comment-at-the-door yeah i forgot about that one thanks btw
you could also mention that prguitarman(Chris in the video) has used his power of copyright to forcibly take down the original source of the meme, instead of letting it be like slackcircus did for HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA even though slackcircus put signifigantly more effort into the original work that HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA came from and and prguitarman only made the animation for Nyan Cat
@@leave-a-comment-at-the-door Oooh i didn't know abt that thanks btw
Why did it have to become an NFT but also of course it did
RIP Marty. Never knew nyan cat was based off of an actual cat.
Can you imagine if he never woke up to create it ? He’s rich now because of it
well thats's life
That’s so crazy he dreamed that and that’s how he got the idea. I loved that rainbow powered, pixel poptart cat the first time I saw it. Not just cause it’s funny but I actually really aesthetically loved it too.
Dreams literally change your life. Lots of artists, authors and musicians and so on dream up their eureka moment that change their lives, sometimes the worlf
im acually in tears now knowing nyan cat is base on a real life cat and that cat is my part of childhood R.I.P Marty
This made me cry its very hard to lose your pet or should i say a man’s best friend but they will always be in our hearts forever, they’ll be flying in rainbows thats were all of our animal friends go when they already passed away the’yll be all watching us up there
R.I.P Marty, will always be the best meme cat
He deserves the revenue for the art that he created and so does all the other memers out there. It's not a bad thing for them to make a little on the side from something that we genuinely enjoy.
but he's not the one who made the meme. in fact, he used his power of copyright on the art to get the meme taken down; Nyan Cat really came from saraj00n combining ももももP's cover of daniwell-P's song with the art prguitarman made.
Bro the last minute broke me...
imagine if he just sued everyone.
Ayyeee that's may pfp. I love this meme tho. Sad to hear that Marty passed away long ago. RIP
this went from exciting to sad in a minute :((
Rest in piece marty
All jokes aside, this is actually quite sad. RIP Marty you will always be remembered.
I remember listening/watching Nyan cat when I was 6 years old, when my mom's brother told me about it.
So NFTs used to be way better than what they are now? Damn
Yeah lol that’s when artists had their own market, now it’s overfilled with fake NFTs and pump-n-dumps that over shadow the real work
@@Nick_Tank yeah like the 69 millon dolar NFT. Now it was cheap garbage computer generated scam
yes
It’s still a great market if you know where to look
They used to appear better.
Marty passed away but his legacy lives on ❤️
This is so ironic considering. this guy talks about how worried he was about the environment and then now works for NFTs which hurt the environment.
OMEGALUL
PoS. Ever heard of it?
It depends on the technology used. There are climate neutral blockchains.
@@OfficialCANVAS Piece of S--t? Sure I heard of it.
Not all but most yeah.
R.I.P Marty
R.I.P grumpy cat
The 2 best cats in history
I really like the nyan cat gif but like it's pointless to make it a nft because you can literally download the video easily
The Sad part Is that he turned It in to a nft
Yes
If you could become rich from 6 hours of pixel animation, wouldn’t you do it?
I was only 4 when this came out, I had still vibed for years and I always will
*i hope you rest well marty* this made my tear up
“I hope that nyan cat still have a place 10 years from now” man doesn’t even know that nyan cat is and always has been like glitter, impossible to get rid of
So... the cat I've been obsessed with for the last few days was based on real cat. Fascinating. Thank you for doing so much good
Aw man I’m crying from that ending fudge man
When I was 13 in 2015 I found out about many other countries because of nyan cat videos people made.
Omg how precious Marty was, RIP! This video should have more views honestly.
There’s an estimated 1 million dogs in the U.S. have been named primary beneficiary in their owners' wills, and I can’t even get a date smh
More people in the u.s. have tape worms than people own dogs
Kudos to helping the other meme people too❤️
I watch Nyan cat every day and I absolutely love it it looks like nyan is not even a word
🏳️🌈🌈🦄
When i see him trying so hard to hold his sadness at the end. Im the one who's now crying, RIP marty
I love that he helped others to sell their NFTs
rest in peace marty🙏
thank you for creating my favourite meme♥️
Nyan cat deserves to have games a series and a full movie due to how amazing it is that it's came this far and is still loved
Always been my fav meme, I love it more now and show respect for Marty, R.I.P and enjoy zooming around in space 🥺
I love the meme and the cat is gorgeous
I've had two cats pass from FIP -- one at age two, and one when she was just a kitten. It's a horrifying disease that has no cure... here's hoping one can be found someday. Love you, Marty.
I didn't expect this to be so heartwarming
Rip Marty 😥 he will always be remembered
"breakfast pastry" i bet they told him he can't say poptart. Nobody calls poptarts "breakfast pastry"
this MEME changed the internet for me ill never forget it. RIP MARTY 🐱🌈
"Your dreams become reality" has taken on a whole new meaning with this one. It's crazy seeing the OG drawing of the Nyan cat, like it's actually kind of surreal to see how this guy just dreamt about it and then it came to life how it did.
This one is amazing. RIP Marty 😢
It's so cool to see all the old meme makers unite. Even if it's just NFTs
I love that he says they can see him in space flying around
R.I.P marty. You were the best pastry cat in space who ever lived, your legacy and history will be remembered💜💜💜
Favorite one by far. RIP Marty ❤💜
There’s gotta be a group chat of the people who were in famous memes
Marty will live on in space and in our hearts 🌈
Marty was a amazing cat, i will never forget him. And nyan cat still lives in my heart to this day too!
bro sold nyan cat nft? yikes, ruined it ngl.
When i starting use this as my profile pic, my friend ask me if i am gay, because of that rainbow
Lol
Me: I just like rainbows
🏳️🌈🟪🐱
he missed the chance to call his nft's nyan fungible tokens
this story motivated me to actually get up when I get those creative pops at midnight. no matter how silly it seems.
R.I.P marty. u will always have a place in our hearts.
Cheers also to daniwellP for composing "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!"
mhm i sadly don't see most people remembering DaniwellP even though he was the one who made the song!
Its lowkey been awhile hearing about nyan cat, rewatched it weeks ago. Never know id be happy by the start and be sad by the end. R.I.P Marty, Your Legacy will be remembered forever
and for those who don't know , this cover of Nyan Cat theme is sung by UTAU Momone Momo
Making over 700 NFT's....
He's really trying to milk the nyan cat meme by the use of NFT's
good for him
Well I mean 99% of NFT are Fcking trash but I would say the Nyan cat have my approval.
@@stinkybear2293 all crypto and NFT are worse than cars for the environment.

Wow. Just wow, unexpectedly touching story. Hat's off to you my friend 🌈 😺
I never knew it had this big of a meaning behind it... Rip marty, i can see the rainbows already and hear Nyan nyan nyan nyan
And now im crying, thanks buzzfeed
Nyan cat has always been my favourite meme. I actually listened to it for 10 hours straight once. And now that Ik the backstory it means a lot more
Tay Zonday, I swear to god, please don’t sell Chocolate Rain.
Racist
This guy still owns Nyan cat. He sold an NFT not the rights.
He already made a tweet about NFT but deleted it smh
NFTS are really bad for the environment and are essentially a money laundering scheme.
@@rpghorrorfan879 what?? How?
We miss you marty
Amazing a video about a cat from 13 yrs ago will bring you tears !! :(
I had this idea - it was midnight - and I went down and drew it! Bless your artist ❤️.
Came to laugh at a meme, ended up bawling
A TV SHOW?!?!? I would LOVE to watch a TV show about the meme that changed the world.
This made me cry 😿
Such a wonderful story, while I’m writing this I’m crying it’s so sad… but he will be in our hearts ♥️
Bro when the game first came out I swear that it made me love pop tarts a lot more for some reason it stuck with me all throughout my middle school yrs I love the legacy of Marty😭
It's nice to know the original creator was actually able to profit from it.
calling this one guy the original creator is leaving way too much out; rather than prguitarman I'd say saraj00n should get more credit as 'original creator' as they are the one who really made the video. this guy just made the art, and the music came from ももももP's UTAU cover of daniwell-P's song.
Isn’t it crazy how much money you can make with digital content? Gotta love how far the internet has come 😀
Yeah about that👉👈
NFTS are a money laundering scheme, and really bad for the environment.
Gotta thanks to the Cat too
