MAKE THAT 3500 VIEWS!
Goddamn. It actually kind of baffles me that people are still watching this!! The views keep climbing, the bear phenomenon grows!!
all your meme are belong to us
All Your Meme Are Belong To Us is an exploration of Internet memes and the online communities responsible for their survival and evolution (or quick death). The only way to truly explore the world of Internet memes involves the creation of our own. This project documents the adventures of those memes as they journeyed out into the inter-webs.
So what are Internet memes all about?
Play the clip and find out!
Communities: Part I
Our adventures through the world of Digg, Reddit, and similar sites.
Is meme-related content welcome? How do memes evolve on these sites?
Communities: Part II
Continued adventures through internet communities…time for 4chan!
What an interesting world of anonymity, porn, and website invasions…why is it that so many memes evolve from here?
2818 VIEWS!!
Epic win!
It’s only been a couple of weeks, but our bear video has certainly grown!
Even on a smaller scale than was probably ideal, we’ve seen how a video can evolve just through people we know sending it to people THEY know. I guess that’s how one finds things on youtube, it’s generally pretty unlikely that you’ll simply STUMBLE upon something really cool.
Like I said, a most epic win.
P.S. Apparently, we’re #66 this morning on the list of most watched comedy videos on youtube in Australia. Great success!
“ PLEASE READ FIRST! Yes it’s fake, you dont have to comment that it is anymore! I didn’t make this video, my sister did.

A very amusing turn of events.
We used Reb’s brother Evan’s Youtube account to upload the original bear video - we did this because he’s uploaded quite a few, some of which have had heaps of views. Thought it’d be easier to get an initial reaction that way. Similarly, we used our poster boy Mitch’s account for the keyboard cat remix.
Anyway!
The vast majority of the comments we’ve been getting have been along the lines of either “LOL BEAR” or “THATS SO FAKE!!!!!11!1one!!”
In fact, there’s been so many of these comments that Ev’s taken it upon himself to put a disclaimer in the “description” of the video.
Poor Ev…
Chronicling the adventures of our bear video.
It’s a most epic win.
