Behind The Meme

Who invented the emoji? What is the meaning of "Emoji"?The emoji has become a very popular and often used item in today's world.So I wanted to take a look at the history and origin of the iconic faces we use to express ourselves. I always thought The Emoji became popular in recent years. Little did I know they have been around for almost 20 and popular throughout that whole time! Back in the late 90's a man named shigetaka kurita created what would be the first set of emojis.They became very popular in Japan and didn't spread beyond the region until over a decade later! Now they are used by millions of people on a daily basis and can be found on thousands of items. They have conventions and even a national emoji day! Soon there will even be an emoji movie! I'm not sure why... Regardless the history of the emoji is rather interesting and something I didn't expect from these silly faces. Love it or hate it the emoji is here to stay. It will forever be associated with this era in time, for better or worse.

What is the meaning and origin of the italian hand gesture memes? "How italians..." has recently become a very popular meme all across social media. For years I have been accustomed to associating this specific hand gesture with italian people, primarily due to their portrayal through TV and Film. I never thought much about it until this past week when the "How italians..." memes became very popular on the internet due to their mass exposure and creation through social media. With the popularity came the requests to make a video on the topic. I ended up learning more about the sterotype while doing my research, making me understand the origin and meaning of the hand gestures myself. I also ended up having a strange craving for pizza throughout the video process for some strange reason... Love And Appreciation! :)

Is cory in the house an anime? Not only is it an anime but it is the best anime EVER! How in the hell did a Disney live action TV show become an anime and meme? Some of you may remember Cory In The House as being a classic children's television show that aired on the Disney Channel in the mid 00's. It was a live action spin off series from the popular show "That's So Raven". Sadly Cory in the house only lasted a couple seasons before being cancelled. Years later it became part of an ironic fandom that referred to the show as an anime, not just any anime, but the best anime EVER!!! It was accompanied with the best video game ever as well!!! It all seems strange but surprisingly there is a reason to the madness. The history and origin of the greatest anime of all time!

Dear America, Why would you let cash me ousside girl get a potential TV show deal? Why would you do this to us? What have we done to deserve this?

Dear Pepsi, recently you decided to boycott Youtube by pulling your ads off the platform....then you decide to do THIS?!? SERIOUSLY?! Pepsi is one of the most iconic companies in the world. Nearly everybody has had a Pepsi or a Pepsi product. So it's understandable that they would want to protect their brand and insure it isnt associated with content that may send the wrong message. This is what led to their boycott of advertising on Youtube along with numerous other big companies such as Walmart, Johnson and Johnson, Starbucks, Verizon, At&t just to name a few.

What is the Mcdonald's Mulan szechaun dipping sauce? Rick and Morty season 3 premiered earlier this month and along with it they resurrected a classic dipping sauce from 1998 with one of its jokes.
