hey there Internet!
And welcome to behind the meme!
Where we take a look at the meaning and the origin of your favorite memes and trends!
Today We have a look at I’ll have two number 9’s
Recently I had an over whelming amount of requests for what people were calling The
GTA number 9 meme.
Now of course I know what GTA is but I had no clue to what two number 9s was.
But with the increase of comments requesting a video on the topic I knew I was about to
find out.
As always thank you all so very much for your comments.
Keep em coming!
You wanted it, now you have it!
Here We GO!
I’ll have Two number 9’s, also known as “Big Smoke’s Order”.
Refers to a line of dialogue said by a character named Big Smoke in the critically acclaimed
2004 Video Game, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas!
When This game first came out it was a pretty big deal!
The map was gigantic compared to other games of the era.
My brother and myself were amazed with the game play of this GTA and sunk countless hours
into playing it, and we weren’t the only ones either, the game has sold over 27million
copies since its release and has been well received by all critics.
Except for the version on Xbox, I don’t know what happened there.
The crazy thing is that even though this game was unbelievable back in the day the newest
grand Theft Auto is mind blowing compared to older Variations.
But back to two number 9’s
Big smoke is a high ranking gang member in the game who is an antagonist to main character
CJ, Big smoke was voiced by Actor Clifton Powell who is notable for having appearances
in a couple of Ice Cubes Friday movies.
During A mission in the game called “Drive Thru” , the player is met with a cutscene
in which the characters are in a car ordering some fast food from the drive thru of a “cluckin
bell” restaurant, and well, let me show you what happens
As you can tell big smoke is , uhhhh… big boned.
The other men order a normal amount of food while he orders a total of 7 meals, an absurd
amount of food for any human, even if that human is uhh….big.
Many people just chuckled and laughed at the occurrence when they played the game, but
over a decade later the internet would take the humorous line and turn it into a meme.
The line of dialogue first became a copy pasta.
People would take the absurd and random quote and post it in forums or comment sections
online, leaving people confused and speechless wondering where the hell it came from and
what it all meant.
but since then It has evolved from the basic text of copy pastas to be used in various
video edits where it is often mixed with other popular memes.
There are literally dozens upon dozens of different edits using big smokes order, here
is just a handful of some notable examples
Uhhhh… what was I saying?
Right The examples
“Give meeeeee two number 9s a number 9 large a number 6 with extra dip”
“I have a two number 9s I have a number 9 large uhhh number6 with”
“I’ll have two number 9s a number 9 large a number 6 with extra dip”
While researching this topic I even found a video of some guys ordering big smokes order
at a real McDonalds which I thought was pretty funny, although I don’t think the workers
felt the same way.
“I take two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7 two
number 45s one with cheese and a large soda.
Ok?
I’m talking to you”
Now I couldn’t find any detailed information to why people started to use this as a meme
but its kinda obvious.This is one of those memes that often leaves people confused with
absurd it is.
It has become an inside joke that has recently began to spread from person to person.There
is no rhyme or reason to why people started to use the quote, other than random absurd
insanity of course.
Sometimes that’s the only reason needed to create a meme. when you have a line of
dialogue from a game that is over 10 years old that is already strange and you put it
in a random spot on the internet that makes it even stranger.
its all the elements needed to make a classic meme.
so there you have it.
Two number 9’s started off as a line of dialogue uttered by a character from an old
video game and has found new life in modern times in the weird and wacky world of memes.
