Isle of Café Seiren - N4A Chat Thread, July 2018


Recommended Posts

Ugandan Knuckles is just a silly meme that just so happened to become associated with terrible people.

 

What’s not cool is making a joke that Tara Strong was responsible for Mary Kay Bergman’s suicide when the two of them were close friends.

What amazes me is how far Ugandan Knuckles is removed from the original meme. 

 

That version of Knuckles appeared for about a second in Gregzilla's review of Sonic Lost World, in which the Knuckles says all of two words. Two weeks later, that same user uploaded a video called Knuckles Sings. There were a number of other Knuckles Sings videos (including All Star, because of course). The Knuckles Sing meme got so popular, a deviantArt user even created a 3D model of Knuckles based on the animation in September 2017. 

 

People started using that model in VR Chat, and in December 2017, we started seeing Ugandan Knuckles videos, featuring the Knuckles Sings Knuckles. And the rest, as they say, is history. 

 

It's kind of like Pepe the Frog; in that what we see online now is so far from the creator's original intent. If anything, it's an interesting case study in how much the internet can transform a person's creation.
