About

Assaded refers to a series of bait-and-switch videos in which an action is interrupted by images of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad while the song "Nhan Rjaleak Rame Kzoaar" ("God, Syria and Bashar!") plays.

Origin

The format was created by YouTuber baconman 2.0. On October 25th, 2019, he uploaded a video of 3D Simpsons characters dancing to "Nhan Rjaleak Rame Kzoaar" (shown below, left). Later that day, he uploaded a bait and switch video where one might think they are clicking on hentai content only to have the song play (shown below, right).



Spread

On November 12th, baconman 2.0 released his most popular Assaded video, featuring the beginning of a pornographic video before the song plays. The video gained over 168,000 views (shown below).



After this video was published, the meme began spreading on YouTube. On December 29th, 2019, user Nikocaine posted a variation featuring Hazbin Hotel, gaining over 40,000 views (shown below, left). On March 12th, 2020, user AkumuNyaaa02 posted a parody with a girl doing the Oki Doki Boomer dance (shown below, right).



On March 25th, Redditor Bleedhammer posted a variation on /r/politicalcompassmemes,[1] gaining over 16,000 points (shown below).
