About

Sheeeit, also known as Tyrone, is a meme that is used in MS Paint templates, similar to Rage Comics, that often portrays a caricatured, stereotypical African-American male saying a lengthened version of the word "shit" that is usually written as ''Sheeeit'', a pre-existing catchphrase. The image primarily appears in various webcomics on 4chan and subreddits like /r/SheeeitComics where the character is depicted in various racist stereotypes.

Origin

The phrase originated as Sheeeeee-it, a distinct catchphrase of actor Isiah Whitlock, Jr., who would use it most prominently on the TV series The Wire. Whitlock is African-American, and The Wire's majority-black cast gave the catchphrase an association with African-American culture.

The original post depicting the character Tyrone saying "Sheeeit" is unknown despite many attributing its creation to 4chan's /pol/ board, but the oldest example still online was posted on October 22nd, 2012, by MemeCenter[1] user sun. The MS Paint comic depicting the character in the last frame of a four-panel comic received 30 likes in eight years (seen below).



Shortly after the post to MemeCenter, on October 27th, 2012, the Sheeeeit Facebook[2] group was created featuring the character's face, which accumulated over 1,300 likes and followers in eight years.

Spread

On September 10, 2013, Redditor damileslol created the /r/SheeeitComics[3][4] subreddit for sharing such MS Paint comics, and also posted several to the community that same day.

On July 21st, 2014, 9GAG[5] user Tyrone D. Watermelon created an account using the character as their avatar and shared several comics to the site depicting Tyrone. One such example was posted on July 23rd, 2014, to the Funny[6] section, receiving 64 points and four comments in roughly six and a half years (seen below, left). On December 17th, 2018, iFunny[7] user LiL_BiG_RiG_t660_389 posted another meme featuring the character with the caption "When the cringe hits ya" (seen below, right).



On December 24th, 2020, Twitter[8] user woot_master tweeted about the emergence of Black Wojaks alongside the Sheeeit meme calling it "racist," receiving 64 likes and 15 retweets in one year (shown below).

You can't deadpool this just because it's racist.
If the article is improved to provide evidence of memetic spread, it's going to be confirmed.
The entry mods deadpooled this article for not showing enough evidence.
