About

Niezapomniana 18, or Niezapomniana Osiemnastka, is a Polish viral video parodied numerous times through videos that incorporate the audio of the original "Niezapomniana 18" video.

Origin

In early 2010, a Polish user uploaded a video called "Niezapomniana 18" (translated to "Unforgettable 18" in English) of a young man named Krzycha, presumably turning eighteen, getting whipped with a belt.

However, is important to note that in Poland, it is often tradition to receive 18 belt slaps on your 18th birthday.

The original video is now removed from YouTube, but there are many mirrors available.

Mirror:

The father stops the whipping and eventually leaves the room, but not without saying, "Koniec Imprezy," and "Dziękuję, Dobranoc" meaning "The event is over" and "Thank you, Good Night" respectively in English. Much of the humor derived from the video comes from these phrases, and is used like the English phrase, "Party's over."

There are suspicions that the boy is mentally retarded because he did not fight back or say anything, and a girl held his hand and pointed at him as if he were a child.
