Origin

On November 17th, 2013, YouTuber^[1] Jesus kun uploaded a video titled "Get the f*** out im playing minecraft! (Vines)" where the person behind the camera enters a kid's room as he's raging while playing Minecraft. The kid exclaims, "Get the fuck out of my room I'm playing Minecraft!" and then tosses his headset to the floor. The video gained over 756,000 views in 10 years (shown below). It is unlikely that this is the original upload.

Identity of the Video Subject / Original Uploader

It is not known who the subject of the video is or what the backstory of the video is. In 2017, YouTuber^[12] MikeyPlays commented on a video about the meme by YouTuber Behind the Meme where he makes unconfirmed claims alleging that he knows the kid in the video. In the comment thread, he writes that his step-brothers girlfriend recorded the video and the kid's name is "Daniel." About the origin of the video, he writes:

I can explain the origin pretty well. So basically there was a kid in the USA who was already playing in his room and was playing Minecraft for his PS3 and then his sister got home after she got her nails done. The Minecraft kid was yelled at because he did not finish his homework. They started arguing about how he didn't do his homework and the Minecrafter told his sister that he did not want to finish it and he was playing Minecraft. So she grabbed a camera, walked in the room, and then the video begins. Do not ask I know this… lol

Some commenters on the Behind the Meme video claim the video is cut from a larger video where a kid is going through the rooms of his house and then opens the door on his brother, resulting in the known viral video.^[14] One commenter unconfirmedly claims his name is Gage and he is from Arkansas.^[15] Another YouTuber^[13] commented on the Behind the Meme video on an unknown date making unverified claims about the video's original upload, writing:

actually the original video was deleted. I saw it before it became a meme and I couldn't find the original video again. the person walking into the room is the kid's brother. In the beginning of the video, he is just saying how his brother is in his room playing Minecraft with people on Xbox live and they are pissing him off. he walks into the room and the kid freaks out. the end of the meme with the kid throwing his headset down is also the end of the original video. it started as a typical 'kid caught raging' video and was such a quick and funny reaction, it became a meme. hope you read this.
