Longcat <h2>About</h2> <blockquote>“Longcat is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.”</blockquote> <p>One of the older and more beloved 4chan image memes, Longcat is a cat who is quite long. Indeed his true length cannot be measured by mortal means as it passes through all dimensions of existence simultaneously (or somesuch)</p> <p>In reality the cat’s name is Nobiiru (のび〜る) and he is indeed quite long (according to this <a href=http://skmwin.net/archives/001787.html>Japanese site</a>)</p> <p>The Longcat image is rumored to have originated on 2Chan, but this claim has not been confirmed.</p> <h2>Catnarok/Tacgnol</h2> <p>Within the Catnarok mythology (see <a href=http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ceiling-cat>Ceiling Cat</a>) it is believed that one day Longcat will engage in a mighty final battle with his anti-self, Tacgnol (Protip: Longcat spelled backwards).</p> <p>Sometimes this event is interpreted as the Apocalypse, while others take a more Taoist approach and consider it to be an eternal battle.</p> <div align="center"><img src="http://knowyourmeme.com/i/2120/original/Epic-LongBattle.jpg" alt="" /></div> <h2>Trend</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=longcat%7C%22long+cat%22%7Ctacgnol%7Ccatnarok&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><h2>Longcat Flash Animations</h2> <p>Some Longcat flashes hosted on 4chan.</p> <p><a href=http://www.4chan.org/flash/?file=longcat_song.swf&title=LongCat%27s+Song&w=600&h=500>LongCat’s Song</a> by Brian “Okk” Raddatz<br /> <a href=http://www.4chan.org/flash/?file=Shii64.swf&title=LongCat%27s+Song+(C64+Graphic+Mix)&w=720&h=480>LongCat’s Song (C64 Graphic Mix)</a> by Anonymous D</p>

Happy Hardcore DJ Speedycake sped it up, creating the Caramelldansen Speedycake remix. Some bright spark looped a <span class="caps">GIF</span> of two characters from the game/anime Popotan doing a bunny dance to the chorus, and its popularity exploded.</p> <p>Caramelldansen quickly spread out of control across the internet as people made over 16,000 of their own parodies featuring other fictional characters performing the dance, and other variations. It was quickly adopted by the anime community and often featured at conventions- seriously, play it at a con and watch as every cosplayer in earshot starts dancing.</p> <p>Due to the popularity of the song, Remixed Records licensed the track and released their own sped-up version.</p> <p>In 2008 the Remixed Records Caramelldansen reached #1 on the <a href="http://umaumanewsblog.blog21.fc2.com/blog-entry-17.html">Japanese International Chart</a>, beating Bon Jovi.</p> <p><span class="caps">WARNING</span>: You will never get this song out of your head.</p> <p>The original video:<br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UX6e7sO1ss0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UX6e7sO1ss0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>The official video:<br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvq9r6R6QAY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvq9r6R6QAY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>A modified <span class="caps">MANOI</span> robot:<br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rjDxv37oFHI&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rjDxv37oFHI&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>Trending<br /> <img src="http://www.google.com/trends/viz?q=caramelldansen&graph=weekly_img&sa=N"></img></p>

O RLY? <h2>Origin</h2> <p>“O <span class="caps">RLY</span>?” originated on the Something Awful forums, where it was used as a deadpan response to anything you found doubtful, unimpressive or just plain dull. On 4chan it was ’shopped onto an image of an incredulous snowy owl and quickly spread out of control.</p> <p>An animated <span class="caps">GIF</span> & Flash version featuring dialogue between 3 birds has emerged, as well as innumerable ’shops.</p> <h2>Controversy</h2> <p>The original “O <span class="caps">RLY</span>?” Snowy Owl image macro is based on a photo taken by nature photographer John White, which he posted to the newsgroup <em>alt.binaries.pictures.animals</em> in 2001. He has since sent numerous cease & desists to those using the image. <br /> Photo origin verified <a href="http://www.animalpicturesarchive.com/view.php?tid=1&did=12932">here.</a><br /> Emails from John White to a John Rowly can be found <a href="http://wigu.livejournal.com/125035.html">here.</a></p> <h2>Usage</h2> <p>The correct response to “O <span class="caps">ORL</span>?” is “YA <span class="caps">RLY</span>”, often with the picture of a stern looking brown owl. The correct response to this, of course, is “NO <span class="caps">WAI</span>!”</p>

Just as planned <p>Just As Planned comes from the anime Death Note. After the main character, Light, pulls off an improbably elaborate scheme, he grins and thinks “Just as planned!”</p> <p>On 4chan the image is used whenever a gullible/stupid n00b falls into a trap, or anonymous is claiming credit for some crazy convoluted scheme. Conversely, Not As Planned (with an inverted smile) is for when things have gone a bit pear-shaped.</p>

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this! <p>A famous quote from the original Legend of Zelda, it was originally put under a picture of a kitten and used to distribute troll software via some internet witchcraft. Now is just an amusing image macro of someone giving you something small and cute to help you on your quest. After all, it’s far too dangerous out there for you to go alone.</p> <p><span class="caps">CAUTION</span>: Will not help you <a href=http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/newfags-cant-triforce>triforce</a>.</p>
