Original Scene:

Jack Sparrow’s Jar Of Dirt was a joke in the movie Pirates Of The Carribbean:Dead Man’s Chest. Jack Sparrow gets an obsession with a jar of dirt, dances with it, and shows it off to everything like it was a big deal.Instantly this was a big hit for the internet. Many people started making fanart and videos for that quote alone. As you can see in he Google Insights graph above, search terms for “Jar of Dirt” peaked in 2006, when the movie was released.

Within months, a YouTube user named NeonHurricane made a music remix of the quote and it was a big hit. Currently it has 5 million + views.

Music Remix:

Of course, the youtube community started making remixes of the original remix itself.

I’m not saying this is or is not a meme just yet. I just get tired of basic movie references.

Even though most memes that come from the mainstream media (Ex. Christian Bale Rant) are unfunny and die within a week, this one is funny, and is 18, meaning it has potential.

Please put in more of the remixes for great justice. This is a YTP sub-meme at the least.

I’m voting that this was too mainstream IRL before it got onto the internet. After the movie, all my friends and I were quoting the, “I’ve got a jar of dirt!” line. I even think it’s considered as the greatest Jack Sparrow line from any of the Pirates movies. Though it’s a great joke, I say nay.

+1 Deadpool

I didn’t watch any of these movies. But if it’s one of the most memorable lines from the movie and it’s just directly referenced, then I’d say it’s more relevent in the context of movie quotes than internet memes.
Deadpooling now.
