Maybe you could credit the doubled shock of two mass shootings in one weekend, one in El Paso, Texas and the other in Dayton, Ohio, with the citizens of the Internet immediately grasping at whatever we could to make ourselves feel a little bit normal again - and nothing's more normal than gathering as one to completely and utterly roast some fool on Twitter. Though it may have originated last year, "Hit or Miss" is still very much a 2019 meme as it finds new ways to evolve out of its initial context and into something that every young person knows.
If you were to yell "HIT OR MISS" in an area where teenagers are known to congregate, there is a very, very, very good chance that you'll be answered with, "I BET YOU NEVER MISS, HUH?" (That call and response is known as the "Hit or Miss" Challenge.) How and why this 13-second chunk of whiny rap blew up is several layers deep: The verse comes from the song "Mia Khalifa" by iLOVEFRiDAY, an Atlanta hip hop duo made up of the couple Smoke Hijabi and Xeno Carr, who wrote it as a diss track about the porn star Mia Khalifa after a fake tweet accused Smoke of being a bad Muslim for smoking what looks like a blunt while wearing a hijab in a video for the group's song "Hate Me." "Mia Khalifa" itself came out in early 2018, but it wasn't until November that it first became A Thing on TikTok after popular dubber Nyannyancosplay recorded a video of herself lip syncing to it in November 2018.
Imagine if this was the future of human transportation: instead of cars and subways, we'll insert ourselves into people tubes at the end of the workday to be whooshed straight home. Imagine if you were a fish and suddenly someone was hoisting you into a tube in which you flapped and flumped until you were unceremoniously dumped back into newer, different water. Some wondered if the fish liked the fish tube, others wanted to be put into the fish tube themselves. When environmental scientists unveiled their " salmon cannon," a giant tube just big enough for a large fish to hurtle from one body of water into another, everyone wanted in on the action. Did you know, for example, that they built a little tunnel so that turtles could cross a highway unharmed? How nice! A fish tube, though: that's funny. (Jordan Peele himself pretty much confirmed it.) Everyone wanted to make their own peppy Detective Pikachu dance videos, and set the footage to everything from Bonnie Tyler to Blackpink.Įxpansion of infrastructure into environments that house crucial migratory routes for the planet's species forces scientists to come up with new ideas to lessen human impact on nature.

It looks like it was taken from one of those '80s exercise videos, and the choreography is actually almost identical to one of Key & Peele's funniest sketches, which itself is a parody of an infamous 1988 TV workout marathon.
released a fake "leaked" version, which ended up being a 2-hour-long video of animated Pikachu dancing on a loop. A week before it hit theaters, Warner Bros.
The animation department really outdid themselves with the motion capture, layering Pikachu's wrinkly forehead and big cheeks onto Ryan Reynolds' face. And that's not the only meme that came out of this movie. Detective Pikachu charmed pretty much everyone when it was released in theaters earlier this spring, mostly due to how unbelievably cute the title character is, despite the fact that he's voiced by a grown man.
