Relaxed way is a frog riding a unicycle with a mellow look on his face
The picture of the frog accompanied with the words here come dat boyiare typically followed by the phrase
Oh shit
Whaddup creating an interesting and funny meme you guys I have a confession to make
Don't tell anybody, but the first time I came across that boy online. [I] didn't understand or think it was funny
I know I was afraid to ask what it meant because I just wanted to fit in but don't worry
[I] now understand what it means
And I'm gonna Share it with everybody else
Now to truly explain the joke of that boy is a rather difficult thing [to] do
But I'll give it my [best] shot first you become informed that a boy is on his way
With [the] way that you're informed [about] the boy the spelling and pronunciation
You assume that the boy in question is a gangster some type of shady individual that improper speech is typically associated with
The joke happens when you realize that boy is a cute unicycle loving frog who [is] casually riding his unicycle?
[the] last person your mind expected that boy to be and
Typically the more random something is the funnier it can be and nothing's more random than a frog riding a unicycle at that point?
Naturally the only thing left to say is oh shit
What up, the memes popularity has been able to spread so much thanks to how easily it can be mixed into other memes and jokes
So we know dat boy is coming
But the question is where did he come from?
the earliest usage of that boy dates back to june of 2015 when a Tumblr user named fulani [a']
Submitted a post with the familiar message here comes that boy
But instead of the unicycle loving frog we are now used to a picture of the iconic video game character Pac-man
Walking through a door while wearing sunglasses is in his place
Accompanied with the typical [oh] shit, what up?
between then and april of 2016
Pac-Man was replaced by the unicycle frog when the Facebook page fresh memes about the mojave desert and other delectable memes
posted the revised version of the meme
Don't ask me why they chose a picture of a frog on a unicycle for the mean
They just did and it just so happened to work and the internet has been loving it ever since
Many believe the origin of the frog to have been from a physics school book when Twitter user Mr.
Mag do discovered that boy in his textbook and posted the image to his Twitter account, but the web site
And why mag com contacted the author of the school book was quoted as saying?
I was working on a problem about rotation
[I] thought the art was interesting so I made the problem about that the author of the textbook
Licensed the image through a website called animation Factory calm. Which is an online distributor of animated art similar to Dat boy
Luckily I was able to find the original Dat boy animation on the website you guys
This is the place where dat boy was born. This [is] meme history right here
It's not every day you get to see the place a meme first came from that boy's father the person who originally
Animated the frog is a man named Josh Du hen Sadly
He has been notorious for avoiding to respond to Curious reporters who ask about his past creation and its recent
Popularity it appears that he's trying to move forward with his life little does
He know his past happens to be a pretty big deal on the internet
So there we have it [that] boy has gone from [Pac] [man] to textbooks to the iconic mean. We all know and love today
