After doing some dance moves, Moe grabs a shotgun and fires several times.

The earliest known video to remix the footage was posted to Vine on February 28th, 2015, by RandomDude_VoiceOverKing,^[2] who paired the footage with a song by A$AP Ferg. Two weeks later, Lewis McKee uploaded the first known YouTube remix, pairing the footage with music by Zaza-Garmiani (shown below).

The remixes did not begin growing particularly popular until the summer of 2016, following a video by Andru Ludwingt Lira Rodriguez posted on July 14th that paired the footage to a Bridge and Law remix of the song Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People. The video gained over 317,000 views.

After Rodriguez' remix, dozens more remixes began appearing on YouTube that paired the footage with different tracks, including You Reposted In the Wrong Neighborhood.
