The Yee meme comes from the Italian dub of the animated dinosaur film Dinosaur Adventure, in a scene where one small dinosaur babbles at another and gets only yee in reply. Clips of the exchange spread on YouTube around 2014 and were remixed into countless edits, songs and reaction videos. The original, unedited version is still shared as yee OG because later versions changed the pitch, speed or timing. Its simple setup and payoff kept it alive long after the first remixes faded.
