How It Became a Meme

  1. Earliest appearance sources report. That isn't proof it was the first. Source
  2. Know Your Meme dates the shortened YouTube cut; an earlier personal-site release lacks a recovered permalink. Source
  3. Know Your Meme distinguishes the later full-version YouTube upload. Source
  4. Revisited in Firefox's October 2026 comeback campaign. That's a campaign cameo, not a new 2026 meme. Source
