Welcome back to 'Totally True Documentary'.
Today we're following someone who became a meme to take a look into what happens after their explosive popularity.
Hi, my name is Rodney Shelton and a - a lot of you already know who I am, but just in case you, don't i'm the, 'OOH
THAT'S GOOD!'
meme guy.
"OOH, that's good!"
So, uh, how the meme happened is so crazy but,
lemme tell you this story. I wanted to eat this soup but I wasn't sure if it was gonna be too hot
So I had my friend record me just in case I needed to sue the soup maker- it's happened to me in the past - so I did that and the soup
Was perfect so i just you know i just reacted i just said, OOH!
That's good!
And the internet just blew up it went viral super fast so I decided to leave wisconsin, along with everything else in my life
My six-figure engineering job, my wife. I dropped
my dog in a remote field, I sold my house and I moved to hollywood to pursue a career in show business
And I also brought my friend along who shot the original video. He's my director/producer/manager/writing partner
I'm writing an 'OOH! That's good!' movie?
It's gonna be like the godfather, but instead of gangsters
It's soup, oh and we're, also killing the merch game check this out
It's supposed to say, ooh that's good but it says god cuz
We this is the misprint so once we sell out of that then, we'll get the real phrase printed on there
How many, of these little bad boys, have we sold? Like five
Five thousand shirts
no, just five shirts
I mean maybe it was four. Rodney shares an apartment room with other meme stars that come to LA, seeking lasting fame.
They call this place the memepyre state building, coined that myself.
There's like 15 other meme legends that all share this unit and it's just a great time. Oh like, this guy maurice
Hey, what's up internet? Do your meme for them.
Oh yeah
Oh my god! You're such a legend! Will you guys keep it down?
I'm working on my new caption. That's Sven. He's this ancient meme known
as Scumbag Sven. He comes from those days when people share those cringy motivator memes.
Yeah, he's one of those. Sorry, Sven. I've just been so tired lately and I just don't
My arm!
It is fading! They said this would happen
when your meme is forgotten you fade from existence!
Damn just like Coco. What? No. This is nothing like Coco
Yeah, Maurice I am over here like, not understanding the similarities that you
Gah!
I can feel myself drifting
Rodney. Yes Sven? Please
Before I go play that song I like and you can have my guitar. Yo, what the f**k this is exactly, like coco
Remember Meme
I'm gonna miss Sven. At least our meme has more lasting power than some silly little folk
Oh!
Oh no!
No no no
Dude now you're getting Coco too!
Oh no it's too soon! How do I stay relevant Maurice? You got to do what I did
You got to do a song with mean baby girl.
Oh no, mean baby girl is a nine year old youtuber who attracted a large amount of attention for being extremely vulgar and
flaunting her parents wealth. You know, I don't really want to smack talk my fellow peers but the only
People that would ever collab with mean baby girl are people who have no respect for themselves or their
fans it's the last thing I would
Ever do
Uh!
Mean Baby Girl!
And Rodney
We're here to tell all ya ugly ass haters to shut up!
or else we'll beat y'alls asses!
Uh huh!
OOH that's good!
Did the video help? No.
All the comments about me are just saying 'whos that old fat ugly loser in the background?'
Look
I-I knew that I'd become irrelevant at one point but not this soon. How long has your meme been out?
I dunno… 9
10 days
I had a good run
well
The dream is over now so I guess all that's left to do is just
disappear, along with the thousands of other dead memes. See you soon philosoraptor
hey
Are these your shirts? Yeah
yeah, ooh
That's god?
yeah
This is brilliant. You know, I think this is exactly the slogan christianity's been looking for because people are always asking us questions
Like, why does it tree look like that and now, we have our answer
Oh that's god
Exactly! Man give me that christian side hug. All right
Rodney, went on to become a large meme in the christian world thanks to his new OOH that's god meme
Christianity became cool again. his next single with mean baby girl was an instant success
OOH that's god!
I should probably call my kids and my wife
Wonder where my dog went...
Los Angeles what land of all dreams?
See I got a picture of hollywood in a frame this is hollywood
I like hollywood
it's not what you think
I make $4 million in 2 seconds. You make $4 in 3 years bitch
I don't even care about these towels
Water that comes out of this sink is gold
Check out the soap man. It's just soap
Maurice? Yes? Please
Sorry
I think it's four, cause Jarrod bought two, because he wanted yellow and then he got green. Decided that
He probably is returning that one. I think it's three
