[@KawaiiBabyTragon]

Because this video contains several inaccuracies and leaves out anything from the animation communities on websites other than youtube, such as Newgrounds or Nico Nico Douga.

[@misaeldoesanimation4408]

its kind of sad to see how it started as people having fun and uploading funny videos to now where if you don't have 24 frames for second and don't have a high quality animation then people will most likely make a rant video about you and call you cancer. its a shame

[@article580]

So true! Cringe comps usually take much less a long than making an animation meme. All you basically do is watch vids and criticize it. A lot of people say they are “helping” people be better but it just puts pressure on people since you’re still calling it cringe and criticizing. Some things I don’t upload since I’m too scared that it will get in a cringe comp.

[@stormcoronado5892]

Well I mean it's just criticism

[@extrapathos]

Yea, but i think that was caused by the community wanting to prove that they can do better and be less cringy, as well as animators just improving in what they did, which led to better quality memes. That set higher standards for the community as a whole.

[@letmetakeajormungandrattha8591]

Oh yeah I’ve might’ve seen that one before

[@rustyshade2971]

That was not meant to be an animation meme It was just some random guy who thought of this and then it exploded Edd had nothing to do with animation memes at that time (or ever) Edd did normal animation (which makes sense because it has a storyboard) while others did animation memes (which doesn't make that much sense)

[@rustyshade2971]

And I know I'm late af but I am saying the truth

[@Pan_A67]

Why is Eddsworld so popular? seems like a normal series in my view

[@ChocoFloof]

Ah yes the good ol days of animation memes - I remember watching them around 2006 - 2007 ish (I was 6 or 7) caramell dansen, caphirina, numa numa, la bomba etc etc. but my animations started off youtube - but on something that is no longer on miniclip sadly called 'Sketchstar' and I went by Hannahmoza - there I did star does nyanya dance etc but then moved onto using ms paint and windows movie maker in 2009-2010 ! this video was a nice ol throwback and a great explanation on animation memes!!

[@robocami]

Choco-Floof Hi Choco-Floof!! I’m a huge fan!!

[@bigzingus2001]

dude sketchstar was 80% of my whole childhood omg it's the thing that made me love animating

[@Spork-Art]

what a throwback, I started on KZbin in 2009 on a different account so if you don't mind I'd like to add some information? In 2008 many people made the 'Caipirnha Dance' because a frame by frame base appeared on DeviantArt, the first memes, including the Carmelldansen, were actually quite like that. DeviantArt frame bases put into videos. I found a gif version from DA user Red-Arcade but I'm almost positive there was a still image one prior (User Uryx uploaded a 'new and improved' gif in early 2009, implying there was an earlier one) Animation 'memes' arguably started with MMD (Miku Miku Dance) because the program had the ability to export and import movement data, allowing users to recreate the same video with different characters. It was also much easier to create memes as you didn't have to draw the characters. SFM (Source Filmmaker) also played a big part in early animation memes although they weren't formally called animation memes yet. Po Pi Po was sort of the first of the MMD memes, then there was one big one called "Ice Cream Truck" and many TF2 animations. Honestly though, no matter where they came from this is a great video and it's been so cool to see the whole animation meme community evolve and grow

[@adaslothland850]

This video focuses solely on the animation meme history on KZbin, but I think that is a very unsatisfactory searching method. The Leek Spin, the Caramell Dancing and the Paffendorf memes all stem from Japanese memes that were popular in Japanese sites. Look up NicoNico Douga (Japanese KZbin basically) memes, especially those from the 2000’s to early 2010’s (quite a lot of them made it to KZbin), they all bear the same principles with early animation memes. In fact, many of the older animation memes like Get Down and Caipirinha originated from NicoNico. I believe this is the actual origin story of the western animation memes on KZbin.

As a newcomer to the animation and animation meme community, this was super informative! Thank you for taking the time to research all this :)

[@dakcatto]

It is so weird going back. I 'joined' KZbin around 2010, and I remember finding these mostly Ms paint animations. Some I never watched of course, but I did follow about all these animators as a kid! It was thanks to them that I ever got into art and animation, the ones that marked me more being Bluekyokitty, Kay and flightfootwarrior (Corvid Katana), who I still follow to this day, more than the first two. It sounds surreal that, without realizing it, I was in the middle of something that eventually would get big over the years. It would be cool to have a 'history of MAPs' and 'history of PMVs', since those three communities were quite close thanks to their furry connection, although I have the feeling warrior cats started the first (or both, for all I know), but I could be wrong. Thank you for this well researched video! I had been wondering myself for a while about it, along with MAPs and PMVs, both of which I feel influenced the animation/art community greatly as well. This was great to watch, keep up the amazing work! (Including that awesome drawing!)

[@BellaExclamationMark]

This is really complete and well explained! I am a lover of the history behind these cultures too and this video seems to cover almost everything! Almost because I feel like a valid thing to have mentioned was how for a while doing FULL AMV """memes""" were a popular thing people did! They weren't really labeled as "memes" but really had the same pattern in which there is a sequence of things to animate to a song and people would do the same thing but with their characters, it wasn't considered copying as long as you did it with your own style and characters so I think it could be classified as something that contributed to the popularity of animation memes as a Concept (making your own version of something). I also believe it would be very useful to mention the influence of Anime Music Videos and stuff back then, a lot of animation memes "de Gozaimasu" for example would be inspired by edits of anime bits with a song to go along, because not everyone had that many editing skills to remake the edits in a way that was loyal to the original they would resort to drawing Over the edit with the anime/video game/vocaloid characters they wanted! I think this and many other reasons is why the animation community shares many similar roots to the editor one and I think it would have been nice if you had explored where we parted separate ways and where we connect again sometimes (another valid example the "When I'm___" meme or the "Barbara Streisand" one, there are many little "memes" out there not started by the animation community!) but I guess that would be stuff for another video now! This one is still pretty great tho!

[@gengaraproved8435]

I became a lurker in the animation meme community in 2011. I think 2011 is also the time Flipnote Hatena creators started to share animation memes on there and I’m sure that must have gained traction to animation memes on KZbin as well. Especially since for example Shinyeevee has a KZbin account on which he shared his Flipnotes as well. I think you should have also credited Shinyeevee for animation memes becoming more popular. Also I don’t think Splashkittyartist got as much credit as she should, at least more credit than just a 3 second glimpse. As a veteran in the animation meme community I can tell you both contributed to animation memes becoming actually popular. Aside from that, great video!

[@casper3105]

I feel really bad for kids that live in the time of KZbin rants and cringe compilations, they really cannot create anything for fun without being laughed at and feeling scared and discouraged to continue doing animation or in anything creative fields these rant channels act like these kids wont be able to improve in few months or year and feel like they need to tell them how to "up their game" "take criticism" or how "cringy" and "disgusting" their animations are , with the way they present their "criticism" wont help these kids to improve in any way and keep excusing their harsh words with "its just a joke bruh", sure and they are just kids having fun bruh, get a better hobby. Also look at the Old animation meme channels that had terrible quality animations but now have improved dramatically over the years. so just calm down its not the end of the universe.

THIS WAS 6 YEARS AGO?? NO WAY.

Jeez.. that was my preteenhood flashing before my eyes... kay2036, hinauchi, caramelcat123, Bani, spottedfire25, dark kokiri, bluekyokitty, I cant remember all of them but man i would watch their videos over and over... You're right though, the animation memes back then were an entirely different type of humor and style. No one cared how good or bad it was animated. Today's memes are amazing and beautifully done, but it seems like a bit of a competition to see who can produce the most creative/best animated/most popular one. It's fascinating to see how that culture evolved. Thanks for doing this!

Vocaloid and Nico Nico Douga have played a big part in animation memes though

[@Nutellacat]

eu sempre quis saber de onde as animation memes vieram,já fiz algumas pesquisas mas não me aprofundei então acho legal que alguém tenha feito um vídeo disso

[@kirbycutie1]

this is a very interesting video! you have done some really good research into this topic! i have been watching the yt animation community grow since the beginning in 2007 (i was like 10 yrs old then) and a lot has changed. i wanna throw my 2 cents here on a couple of things you missed out in the video: many of the early animation memes on yt are based on nico nico douga memes. nico nico douga is basically japanese yt and many of the users there had made their own reanimations of anime ops and dance stuff, like caramelldasen and such. so when that is ported over to yt, ppl started making their own reanimated versions. i remember doing a couple of those back in the day! another thing that i wanna mention that isn't necessarily an animation meme but was a big fad in the community between 2007-2009ish was ppl making their own magical girl transformation sequences. i remember seeing a lot of these left and right and it was amazing uvu other than that, nice video! 👌

[@lycansprites]

I think the animation meme that first caught my attention (not including Caramell Dansen, of course) was the Pompufillis meme. I dont know why that had such a big impact for me, but I distinctly remember trying to do that meme way back and failing- hard. Man, was your video just a punch to the face of nostalgia :P
