Development

[citation needed]

On the evening of August 23rd 2010, the single topic blog F*ck Yeah Prancing Cera was created and the site was immediately flooded with fan-made images. Most recreations of the meme so far have involved song lyrics with the word ‘Dance’ changed to ‘Prance’ and numerous references to film and television. Many have also collaborated the Prancing Cera meme with other memes such as Pedobear, Jessi Slaughter, Antoine Dodson, Haters Gonna Hate, Sad Keanu and others. The Tumblr site gained more than 5,000 followers in the first 48 hours of launch.

The next day, the image was posted to Buzzfeed, who encouraged users to create their own by including the photoshop exploitable. Within 24 hours, the article had over 28,000 views.
