"You don't have to lie bro, you was cool enough" that was low key sweet and kind
Fr Fr
The way he describes it makes it seem like the person was compulsive liar who couldn't help but to lie, even about small things.
@@dddripz wtf u talking abt
@@dddripzwell yeah maybe he was that kind of person lmao thats why he said you dont gotta do that
@@ysndraco3618 it's a thing pretty sure it's called compulsive lying.
That's no accident. He had an idea, executed it perfectly then posted it.
He didn't intent to be a meme. He intended to be parody.
@@ridovercascade4551 It's a meme according to the definition of meme from oxford.
meme
an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.
@@EricK-tb2dn lol oxford? 50 year olds giving a serious definition for the word “meme” , this is hilarious
@@ranrae3712 Read a book, knowing about memetics doesn't make you old. Don't boast your ignorance you triggered.... 🐈
@@EricK-tb2dn damn😨 you are angry lol, it doesn’t make you old but it’s funny
The fact that he actually planned it, and it wasn't a meme by mistake...legendary!
well memes becomes memes because people pick them up, it could've still failed
it's not like he meticulously cracked the formula to virality in some lab or anything, you still need luck.
I mean....he uploaded it to vine. He intended it to be a meme, just not that big.
Bro manifested it
He planed make a vine, not a viral meme that still in 2023 would be that famous that a random guy in south spain would wach a video about him
@Beast inc.🏀 You're missing the point.
real talk, he's so charming. such a worderful personality. like asking the staff to leave in his mistake with the lyrics. so wholesome
And the toilet explanation.
Seems like a cool cat. ❤️
I agree. He’s so sweet.
He seem like someone to chill with and drink a beer with
Hop off the d lil bro
He straight up called out high school dude who was lying, then said he was cool enough to hang without lying. Solid my guy. Love this meme.
Uhh... Am I the only one down here
@@el_gabron Not anymore
Facts I loved that💪🏾
Does anyone noticed ma boi here wearin' Brimstone hat?
Sivia Love ELITE
This guy literally met the creator of the original song and still didn't know it was "grinding" and not "crying" lol
😂
You always lying...
🤣🤣🤣
HAHA why would her crying get him so excited, right? Changes the meaning of the song lolol
@@MuMu-fu7qe I thought it say oh you know I like it. I get so excited
"You dont have to lie bro, you was cool enough" that was so wholesome
I had a buddy like that too
He said the toilet is now a "HISTORICAL ARTEFACT" 😂 And he's not wrong! 🥰
Why you always lyingggggg
Yea tho😂...
😂
That was the meme moment with the toilet in the frame, definitely historical.
Duchamp be like
Saw it on google maps. national landmark
6 years later, he's still a legendary meme
😭
H3 is using this now. Its how i found it
My favorite meme and every time someone's lying to me, I sing the song in my head
Six years😩😩
Has it been 6 years Already ? Dam
If he didn't lie you would not be where you are. His lies impacted your life so much that you sung about it and blew up.
Fair enough
You’re him aren’t you
I was thinking the exact same thing
Bro why you so mad??
Oho… you are 😏
This dude telling that dude “you’re cool enough” was kinda wholesome
I love this guy's energy. He seems so down to earth and chill. Whoever his wife or gf is she is very lucky
He’s gay
@@1BigBugz fr tho?
@@paoduro9194 yeah
i need proof
@@1BigBugz source: trust me bro 😒
Such a simple yet, perfect meme to use for everything
Lol
it really is, its so good.
We can't use it for everything
"Why you always lying"
why tf u lyin why tf u lying?
@@firevloe781 ofc
His old classmate: "That song is not about me, it's about a different guy!"
*"WHY THE F*CK YOU LYIN'?"*
😂😂
UNDERRATED COMMENT
😂😂😂😂😂
They probably say the same thing when he says the song _was_ about him! Poor guy can't catch a break lol
😂😂
This dude genuinely seems so nice.
2:41 "A historical artifact" 😂😂
This is probably my favorite how i became a meme video.
Yeah
Who’s always lying to you then?
He just seems honest and funny
He's such a chilled guy! 🥰🥰
Jesus loves you
"can we leave that in" his ability to laugh at himself like that and encourage the whole internet to as well is wholesome.
yes
The confidence I wish to have one day
Hope your doin alright babe I’ll see you when I get home
I bet you this dude's a great friend.
Ikr
This is not a meme. Its art. This video has to be preserved
The toilet back story is hilarious. We all have that thing we bought and it didn’t work but didn’t return it so it served another purpose somewhere else.
His meme is still iconic after all these years. lol Still funny as hell.

cap
That whole meme explain my middle schools years 😹
Lmao when I see it used as a reaction to this day I still crack up
Bruh. Why would they be excited that she's crying? 🤣
Don't kink shame
@@EndlessNameless137 maybe kink shaming is their kink
I thought it was some bittersweet reason.. like, the guy is excited cause he proposed to her, but she is crying cause she knows she cannot accept it (for whatever reason it may be).. and thus the guy is confused by her crying.. maybe..
@@organicspectroscopy7242 the rest of the song goes on about how he's poking through his pants while dancing close to her body lol the first line of the song was literally *I wonder if she could tell I'm hard right now*
@@ScottThePisces I never heard this song before.. just provided an interpretation of him being cool with his misheard lyrics part..:P but yeah, if he heard this song before many times, then it is truly a mystery why he never thought that this part didn't fit in with the rest..
This was the most normal meme backstory ever
it's hands down one of my favorites memes ever, because it's so useable. each time we catch someone lying we'd post the GIF or just his picture and everybody knows why 😀
The details of the shirt, the toilet, & backyard make it that much more legendary
Memes always have a deep story. Its hilarious :D
🤣💯
SRSLY
I think it’s the authenticity and realism that makes it. It’s like speaking to us like hey, that could be me! Just us regular people filming for fun in our own backyard.
Yes!! 😃
Hope the bro is lyin' no more now
I knew it you will be here
Lol yeah
I love you bro you're my favorite RUclipsr
I see you everywhere
Bro I see him everwhere from Kpop mvs to legit random recommended ones
"if you're watching this, you didn't have to lie bro, you were cool enough." I wanna be this guy's friend
This was so wholesome man. Solid man and a legend meme.
I’m screaming at the part about the toilet “historical artifact” 🤣🤣🤣
I read your comment as soon as he said it 😂
@@onyx4859 me too😂😂
Not my brain going, "HE IS SO FINE!" 😭
That's all I'm thinking about😂😅
He is kinda fine tho 😭
Me too lmao
thank god i'm not the only one thinking this
he's not gonna shag you mate
The meme that never gets old or stale. A true legend.
I felt the embarassment through the screen when he said nobody told him it was grinding after years of saying crying LOL
It wasn't an accident. It was destiny.
This legend jammed next to a toilet in the backyard, to a song he made up in the car mishearing radio lyrics. Absolute genius.
I also prefer my misheard lyrics of songs!
I first saw the Goku version of this! I love it!
mix of destiny and talent I'd say
0Ppl1
Funny how your comment has 3.4K likes and the comment right on top of you has 34K
It’s super important that he misheard them, otherwise might not have come up with “lyin”
2015: wow he's so funny
2021: *just realising* wow he's so fine
Same 😂
Oh he been fine lmbo
That’s cse black guys are a trend now
@@dianasohn2515 wtf
@@dianasohn2515 wtf???? Uhhhhhhhhhhh no??? He's attractive because HE'S ATTRACTIVE gft outta here with that

"Oh see i didnt even know that"
Sorry sir but that is a good meme material
I love everything about this. The spirit, the concept, the execution. Perfect. Dude is so chill and humble. Seems like the perfect ambassador to deliver the message: Be yourself, no need to embellish. The true you is cool enough, already. I love that the toilet has been designated a historical artifact, lmao. Mannn... Nick really wasn't listening to the original, tho, lol, if he missed the imagery conjured up by a song whose central lyrical focus is a stubbornly persistent, uncontrollable erection. Truly the finest gem belonging to the sub-genre of junior high press your luck with a girl for the first time jams in which the R'n'B stands for "Rage -n'- Boner".

why you always lyin
He is such a cool guy, I'm glad we gotta know him thanks to that meme.
His mmmmph OMG always took me out hahaha. The video is iconic though, If you’ve never seen it, it’s even better than the meme.
SMH It makes no sense how we don’t have VINE just for TikTok to come out and be VINE. Like make that make sense
Instagram destroyed Vine almost immediately when they adopted short-form video, but the lack of competition caused them to become complacent. Musically started to take off, then TikTok blew up because they put a different spin on things, with the most notable probably being the ability to do duets. It's too bad Vine couldn't adapt enough to counter Instagram, but its legacy unquestionably lives on!
this is one of my most used memes of all time 😂😂
Lol
Why tf you lyin'
Gave it a like, 420 now 🤪
Mmm oh my god stop f ing lying
Best meme of all time imo
Except “accidentally” doesn’t do it justice. He created the idea, staged the video, edited it to perfection it’s not someone doing something and being used I. A different context. It’s art.
Don’t know how you have such a pretentious take on a meme. It’s not genius, it was a silly video that happened to go viral. There was very little thought behind it
@@barrackhussein464 he planned everything and put it out himself, nothing accidental about that
@@CASHPABLOG that’s because you’re looking back on it with a 2021 perspective. If he made it to kickstart an internet career it would have been smart, but this generation of memes were just to be funny to their friends. They pretend it was all an intentional move after the fact when anyone who was very active on the internet in 2013-14 knows that people even saw RUclips as a short term career back then no matter just having clout for little to no reason
@@aaaa-xf3hx you do know that a lot of people got to be famous just from a youtube video right? even back then if you became popular enough then you could make it big. how do you think Justin Bieber got to be famous? he was posting videos of himself singing and a got a contract. same thing for the person who created the Freddie persona. a lot of people have gotten famous over a small clip they posted on youtube back then
@@CASHPABLOG We're all just one video away from being internet famous, all we have to do is post a video and BOOM, we're a meme. Why didn't I think of this before?
i had a smile on my face until i saw "Check out the 'Why You Lyin' NFT". absolutely ruined a perfectly good video
Anyone else stunned that this was 7 years ago???? I thought 2-3 years max.
This dude shook the culture and isn’t milking it like others do to this day his face is relevant. Respect
He do have an nft tho
@@Gr95dc So what?
@@visionentertainment8006 nfts are a scam and a way to "milk" things, so he's indeed milking his meme. Nothing wrong with getting some cash for making a lot of people smile tho, I'm not hating on the dude, just letting this commenter know that he is indeed milking his meme.

@@DarthFurie I’m talking bout other creators in his vine and ig time not him he looks amazing 💯😂
Lol 👀 it was 6-7 years ago !
In high school we used this all the time for when people were faking injuries (went to a sports school) or lied about how good they are or times (track and field) or all the stuff they “had” or were wanted for it was amazing
I still sing it! 😂
Especially around well know liars
The fact that he didn’t even know the lyrics to the original song😂
Crazy lol
The wild part is that crying sounds more like lying than grinding. If he knew the lyric he miiight not have made this.
To be fair....
I thought it was the same thing as he did
Well that must mean next dont know their own lyrics too then. Also, 💡so that's what they called themselves

It did 🤣
I wish he capitalized on it and made something but he seems happy and money is everything for everyone
Credit to the high school dude without him the meme would have never came about 👌🤝
“Baby why you cryin’? I get so excited…” LMAO THAT MAKES NO SENSE 😂 and he thought it was “cryin’” the whole time 😂😂😂😂
