Weegee <h2>About</h2> <p>The <strong>Weegee</strong> meme is a single character image macro that comes from the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpWTaa_6lFk">bizarre character art</a> of Luigi found in the <span class="caps">DOS</span> version of the educational video game “Mario Is Missing!” The meme works like <a href="/memes/pedobear">Pedobear</a> – place him in an image for instant lulz. Make him scare or hurt someone, or even swap someone’s head with Weegee’s.</p> <h2>Origin</h2> <p>Weegee has it’s inspirational origins in the <span class="caps">DOS</span> version of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_games_in_the_Mario_series">educational computer game ‘Mario Is Missing’</a> created by Software Toolworks in 1992. The game features <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpWTaa_6lFk">an odd rendition of the Luigi sprite</a> with a long cold stare, a feature also seen in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mario_is_Missing!_NES_cover.PNG">game cover art</a>. </p> <p>There are two known accepted theories as to the emergence of the ‘Weegee’ name. While some say that the word ‘Weegee’ is a mispronunciation of the name ‘Luigi’ by Mario in the game voiceover, we have watched over an hour of game footage and played the <a href="http://nintendo8.com/game/628/mario_is_missing/">online version of ‘Mario Is Missing’</a> several times without hearing Mario distinctly say ‘Weegee’. Another theory is that Weegee is ‘engrish’ mistranslation of the word ‘Luigi’. In the Japanese venacular, there are no “L’s” as are pronounced in English, making the word ‘Luigi’ a little more difficult for those speakers to pronounce.</p><p> <p>The first confirmed mention of Weegee as an image macro is <a href="http://4chanarchive.org/brchive/dspl_thread.php5?thread_id=8942766&x=weegee">in a thread on the /v/ board of 4chan in late 2007</a>. 4chan founder m00t would later cite Weegee as his favorite meme.</p> </p> <p><blockquote><a href="http://www.fimoculous.com/archive/post-5738.cfm">Weegee is my favorite meme on 4chan</a><br> <cite>— <strong>moot</strong>, founder of 4chan, at <span class="caps">ROFLCON</span> in 2008</cite></blockquote></p> <h2>Derivatives</h2> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fgoogle_insightsforsearch_interestovertime_searchterms.xml&up__property=empty&up__search_terms=weegee%2B4chan%7Cweegee%2Byoutube&up__location=empty&up__category=0&up__time_range=empty&up__compare_to_category=false&synd=ig&w=600&h=300&lang=en-US&title=Google+Insights+for+Search&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script><p>Unlike many other single character image macros, <a href="http://www.google.com/insights/search/#q=weegee%2B4chan%2Cweegee%2Byoutube&cmpt=q">interest in Weegee continues to grow</a> mostly through <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=weegee&search_type=&aq=f">the proliferation of YouTube Poop</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KDsdMtSg_I">Weegee montage</a> (video)<br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4KDsdMtSg_I&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4KDsdMtSg_I&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /> <br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZEMCBhn9XrY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZEMCBhn9XrY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
