Stole my bike (2003)NSFWResearching

About

‘Nigga Stole my Bike’ is a popular (albeit racially insensitive) internet catchphrase. The phrase and photo originated in 2002 on Off-Topic Forums and spread slowly until it reached the Something Awful Photoshop Phriday on March 20th 2003. The theme was ‘Video Game Heroes Gone bad’, and user Allanon858 entered a still from the game Mike Tyson’s Punch Out with the phrase ‘Nigga Stole My Bike’ as a caption. The scene was from a training cutscene where the protagonist, Little Mac, jogged after his trainer, who was riding a bike.

Reaction

Since the image was posted on Something Awful, it has been copied and spread around the internet in many forms.

On June 3rd, 2004 YTMND user iammikeol used an image from the classic NES game Super Punch-Out with a loop from the song Get Low by Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz.

On July 25th, 2004, YTMND user Duezce created a YTMND featuring the image, as well as a soundclip of a voice saying ‘Nigga Stole My bike’. Soon after followed sites such as NSMB: Punch-Out Remix, where YTMND user CheapAlert included an animated GIF of the scene, as well as his Remixed version of the song from the Punch-Out game, mixed with the sound file from Diezce’s site. Other notable spinoffs include:

NSMB: The Live Action Movie
Nigga Stole Conan’s Bike
Nigga stole my speeder bike

definitely a meme/fad worth documenting,

I added some bits about the CheapAlert remix but I’m not sure if it’s 100% accurate — want to fact check asap and confirm

This is as long as the Internet itself (or at least YTMND) it’s definetly a meme.

Yes! Finally! I was wondering when this meme would ever be added. I was thinking of making an entry myself, but never got around to it. Thank you for creating this, it’s one of my favorites. :P

if this was confirmed, why was the retard poetry slam i entered and the 9/11 lolz that someone else entered completely wiped from the site? makeup your mind, politically correct like CNN or politically correct like the chans? i suggest the chans.

I still fail to see how the poetry slam was a meme an not just a popular (yet terrible) video. I didn’t find any derivatives.

There’s nothing wrong with being like CNN. Less lulz, definitely, but it makes the site trustworthy with facts.

That’s how I see it.

Politically correct or not, this is definitely a meme. Been seeing this in various forms for many years now. Your apology at the end of the article should be cleaned up, I have no idea what relevance that is to the rest of the article.

I think it’s worth mentioning that the meme is referenced in the recent “Punch-Out!!” for Wii.

FUN FACT: I am the same Duezce that uploaded the picture on YTMND so many summers ago.
The audio clip was me. I can hardly do the voice anymore, becuase I was fifteen and my voice isn’t quite the same anymore (lol puberty).
I can log in to YTMND and post a comment on the original page linking to my profile here if you’d like verification.
Sure, it’s a racial joke, but I’m in no way a racist.
The way I see it, if you can’t tell a joke in front of someone it might offend, you don’t deserve to tell it in the first place.
Also, I just had my bike stolen about a week and a half ago, presumably by Nigga.
This makes four stolen bikes for me to date.
