About

The term “Woll Smoth” refers to any image of a person (usually a celebrity) that has been photoshopped in such a manner as to shrink the size of the eyes and mouth.

Google Insights for Search shows that interest in “Woll Smoth” started in December of 2007. Activity for “Woll Smoth” peaked on July 5th, 2008, but has continued to draw search results to this day.

Origin

According to ED, this meme started when the Will Smith page on Wikipedia (they call it TOW) was vandalized with the original Woll Smoth image, and the title changed to reflect how one with such a small mouth would speak. Wikipedia has the proof that this happened here. The first instance of this was March 13, 2008, 4 months after the first sighting on Google trends. So ED is incorrect.

On ED there was an article called “Solobrities” here is the talk page that shows the meme was created around November 2007. This talk page confirms the link between the two.

Reach

Blue = “Woll Smoth”
Red = “Epic Fail Guy”
Orange = “Cockmongler”
Google Insights results

In terms of scale, interest in “Woll Smoth” is about equal in scale to Cockmongler, and Epic Fail guy, two notable 4chan memes.

Encyclopedia Dramatca’s earliest mention of “Woll Smoth” dates back to February 20th, 2008.
ED called “Woll Smoth” a forced meme, and “the cancer.” Those labels have stuck on their entry to this day.

However, as we can see that the meme has continued to endure for well over a year, the act of shrinking the eyes and mouths of celebrities has become self-propigating; making it a meme.

first 11 pics were from the larval version of this entry, when it was called “Pinched Baby Face” or somesuch. Do they still apply to Woll Smothiness (despite the quality)?

You know the other day I was thinking about this and I think Neoz Darko was trying to force a meme.

I could be wrong, but when your first entry is something no one has heard of and your pictures seem to be done on MSPaint, it looks that way.

I could be wrong about the forced-ness. But the pics could stay or go.

I don’t think this was forced, I’ve seen it around the chans. It seemed to die out about a year ago, but crops up every now and again.

Doesn’t it also have something to do with the fact that the only vowels in “Photoshop” are ’o’s?
