Known widely as Shoop da Whoop, the meme emerged in the mid 2000s on forums and early video sites, built around a crudely edited black face with huge red lips yelling the line before firing a blue beam. The face was inspired by Cell from Dragon Ball Z, and the joke spread through remixes, image macros and Dominic Fear's popular The Lazer Collection videos. Its simple setup and massive payoff made it one of the defining absurd humor memes of that era, and it still appears as a nostalgic reference to early internet culture.
