About

My hand is a dolphin is a phrase that refers to a movement of the hand in an up and down waving fashion, akin to the swimming of a dolphin. Usually seen in on Youtube comments, this is inferring that the move is awkward or lame, like "white people can't dance".

Origin



The phrase came from Brock's Dub[1], a parody of Rebecca Black's Friday. As one of Rebecca's friends was waving her hand up and down, Brock dubbed it with the phrase "MY HAND IS A DOLPHIN!"

As the video's popularity grew, Brock Baker, the original creator of the video, went on the sell T-shirts bearing the phrase[2], as well as "Get the F*ck Over Here" and "Everybody's Russian," two other catchphrases from the video.

A little more than a month after his original video, Brock dubbed a video of babies talking to each other, and included "my hand is a dolphin" calling it an internet meme. It can be heard at 0:45 seconds in.

Notable Examples




Search Interest

Overall interest peaked at the end of March and the beginning of April, a few weeks after Brock first uploaded the video.

Google search trends show that "My Hand is a Dolphin" shockingly eclipsed the search values for "Rage Guy" for a short period of time when Brock's Dub was at the height of its popularity.



Remixes

Rebecca wrote the following song and actually won a "worse song" contest.[3]
