About

Ali-A's Intro refers to the usual introduction to videos of child-friendly gaming YouTube channel Ali-A. It was frequently parodied on YouTube in various remixes.

Origin

Ali-A's channel opened on November 4th, 2009. In many of his videos, a short animation displaying his logos plays in the beginning (example shown below).

Spread

In October of 2017, Ali-A began playing Fortnite regularly on his channel, greatly increasing his views. However, other YouTubers began mocking his Fortnite videos. On February 20th, 2018, user hiitstom8 uploaded a cringe compilation of Ali-A, gaining over 750,000 views (shown below, left). On February 11th, YouTuber Luke Augustin uploaded an ear rape version of the intro, gaining 24,000 views (shown below, right).

In the ensuing months, ear rape edits, usually containing the song "Brass" by Dirty Rush & Gregor Es, continued to be a popular variation on the meme. For example, a version uploaded by YouTuber Tragedy gained over 375,000 views (shown below, left). This was later used in a video by PewDiePie making fun of Ali-A's videos (shown below, right).

Other parodies of Ali-A's intro paired the intro with other notable YouTube videos, such as Logan Paul's Suicide Forest Video (shown below, left). Compilations of the meme also grew popular on YouTube. One of the most popular, posted by a Vine, gained over 680,000 views (shown below, right).
