About

In 1989, a thirteen-episode series of short Legend Of Zelda cartoons were produced as the weekend cartoons shown during the <a href=Super Mario Brothers Super Show.

In the cartoon, Link’s catch-phrase, used in every single episode, was “Well excuuuuuuuse me, Princess!”

On Y.T.M.N.D.

The first YTMND to reference this catch phrase was created on November 26th, 2004 by user sup3r-m4rio and has over 4,000 views.

The most viewed YTMND in this meme was created on July 1st, 2005 by user GCNmario and has over 39,000 views.
Description:


Inspired from the original http://www.wellexcusemeprincess.com

There have been a total of 9 YTMNDs along this theme. To see them all, with up-to-date stats, please see the YTMND search results page.

On Youtube

On June 10th, 2006, Youtube user kittykatstar uploaded a video of every instance of Link uttering the phrase. Slowly but steadily over the last three years, the video has acquired over 1.3 million views. This video shows up as the first added and most viewed video for the exact phrase “excuse me princess” on Youtube.

Following in 2nd place in both categories, is “EXCUSE ME PRINCESS lolz” uploaded on July 20th, 2006 by MajideAxel with over 25,000 views.

Many others created very similar “excuse me” compilations.

Youtube Poop

Just as both CD-I and the 1989 Mario cartoon have been used in many Youtube Poops, the same goes for The Legend of Zelda animations from both the CD-I and 1989 cartoon.

Is this really a meme by itself though? It seems to be just another splinter of YouTube Poop.

No, it’s something more than a Youtube poop. I dare to say has turned into an internet catchphrase.

A bit more research is needed into the history though. All I remember is that Link always used to say it in an incredibly stupid sounding and annoying way. Have no clue how it made it’s way onto the internet

I love saying that to people.

I think Han Solo also says the same line (or something very similar to it) in Star Wars, but I’m not certain.

I’ve updated this article with all the information that seems relevent. The only problem is that this has no recontextulization.

The joke is basically, “hey, remember that short-lived 80’s Zelda cartoon? Link sure said ‘Excuse me’ a lot.”

I’m not so sure that there’s a meme here.
