Ugandan Knuckles comes from a distorted drawing of Knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog that became a VRChat avatar craze in early 2018. Players adopted a fake Ugandan accent, clicked their tongues and repeated phrases about finding da wae and following their queen. Clips spread quickly across YouTube, Twitch and meme pages, turning the line about not knowing da wae into a taunt for anyone lost or confused. The meme faded from VRChat but the voice line survived on soundboards because it is short, distinctive and instantly understood.
