"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.
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
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
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
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
This dude genuinely seems so nice.
"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
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!! 😃
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 😒
I’m screaming at the part about the toilet “historical artifact” 🤣🤣🤣
I read your comment as soon as he said it 😂
@@onyx4859 me too😂😂
@@onyx4859same
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 dude telling that dude “you’re cool enough” was kinda wholesome
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 TH-cam 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?
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
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
I love these stories. Interesting to know the origins.
Yeah

This was the most normal meme backstory ever
He has potential to be on TV and all. He's so cool and I love his personality xD
the fact his dances were improv he was just feeling himself is super wholesome
This guy is actually kinda inspirational. Him saying its okay not to lie and just be yourself. That you are still cool enough. 😭
The meme that never gets old or stale. A true legend.
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".
the randomness of the toilet makes it legendary
It did 🤣
One of the best meme, I kept singing his ver. of WHY YOU ALWAYS LYIN' at one point in time, it was stuck in my head!
Hello 👋 Greetings from royal family.
He’s so effortlessly funny and mad fine 😳👀
😐
@@desiring5988 😐
...
Please stop 😐
yo
a legend. an icon. a man questioning a guy from his high school who didn't stop lyin' while stepping on a historical artifact.
perfection.
Lmao why would he think the song went “baby when you’re crying, I get so excited”? 🤣🤣🤣 this is one of my fave memes, didn’t realize his face was hitting like that
LOOOOOL
😂😂😂
I thought it was crying too!
He's probably a lil sadistic lol
Girl same! But then again folks swear up and down Lloyd says "5'2" instead of "fine too" in his song You lmao i think black folk have a thing for getting lyrics wrong 😂
6 years later, still a good meme till this day 🤧
His smile 😍. He’s so handsome
to think, if this man knew the proper lyrics he wouldn't be the legendary meme we all know & love today
it says accidentally but he didn’t accidentally become a meme, he made a meme and put it out 😭😭..
No... he made a "song" and the song *became* a meme, but HE didn't "make and put out a meme" on purpose, thus he *accidentally* became a meme.
This song is still my ring tone 😅 lol thank you Nick Fraser

‘ not only is that toilet a historical artefact, the whole backyard is a historical artefact
Everytime one of my employees calls out and I know they’re lying, I send them this song hahaha. Certified banger my dude.
Hello 👋 Greetings from royal family.
I wish he capitalized on it and made something but he seems happy and money is everything for everyone
I can imagine he’s telling people that song was about me. And everyone calling him a liar. 😂😂😂😂
“Hmm oh my god” That just hit me. 👌
Edit: 2:14 is where it is.
this guy sounds like a very chill dood. whoever his mama is, you raised your boy right!
After all these years when he said "mmm oh my god" I still cracked up😂
I’ll stay pissing my pants laughing at this part for the rest of my life. I love this man and this song/meme will slap forever.
2:09 best moment in history
This is awesome! He seems like a kind, outgoing person. I’m glad he spoke about what inspired him in a candid yet respectful way. Pretty cool story!
3:30 y'all forgot to censor this one LOL
Lol
0:33 the fact so chill singing the wrong words
I quote his meme EVERY SINGLE DAY... like for real!
one of my all time fav memes haha , i really was wondering what was happening with him , thank you for the update xx
The backstory of the main character that we all wanted to see and hear.
Whoa dude, totally forgot this meme used to exist, this was the STUFF back in the day.
Omg I love him. He's just so adorable. I can't even tell you how many times I've quoted this vine.
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
His meme was definitely legendary, without a doubt one of the best memes of all time.
What a chill guy that created his own version of nexts song
Dope
Yeah dioe
Dope
He a fine chocolate man with a personality to match 😍
😃 um-
Chocolate 😟
Chocolate 😃
Uh- nvm can i just👆😃🔫
True
when you pulled this card to your friends it felt so good for no reason
My absolute favorite meme story!
I searched all over IG to find him and was so happy he was getting so much recognition
I love these videos. I have heard his story so many times but i am entertained every time cause it was so big.
His favorite song is "Too Close" by Next
He has top-tier music taste!!! 🔥
One of the most iconic memes to date. Everytime i ask “why you lying?”, i always sing it like the meme. 😂
ironically this video changed my life. when i was younger I was a pathological liar because of abuse and not having parents. I used to lie to protect myself and my image. as i started to get older in my mid 20's I started to tell the truth more. Its gotten me further and Im slowly becoming more successful.
ironically even if the guy the joke was based on was to say, hey , that song was about me, people would still to this day this he was lying. he just cant get a break lol
From one Nick to another, the Nicks’ around are proud of this legend :)
One of the only living Meme Legends that Pewdiepie was unable to kill.
Met Nick the other day at my job. He was very chill to talk to and vibe with, its amazing how people can blow up with one video👏🏾
The best memes truly happen by accident.
Beautiful. Keeps me living in these modern times.
He called his brother and he's like "yo can you come outside real quick? im gonna make a history"
my smile was wiped off my face when i caught the NFT selling at the end 😐
I still sing it! 😂
Especially around well know liars
I love his version so damn much lol but the memes had me rolling. I miss how people were actually funny around the time he made the video. Now I just feel people are dancing in the stupidest places and just copying everyone and just dragging the dumbest trends.
Must be your algorithm because you watch so much of that stuff. I'm aware tidepod vaping tik tok hand dancer zoomers with them broccoli haircuts exist and do videos and stuff, doing whatever it is they do, but since I don't watch them they don't come up for me. It's totally irrelevant to me. Everything I see is like, skanks in bikinis, heavy metal, and memes lol
Favorite. “Accidentally Became a Meme” video. EVER! Awesome!!!
the reason this one resonates is because we all know that feeling of wanting to sing a song but only remember one lyin'
Man legit i read a rumour that this guy passed away! So glad he’s still alive omg 🙏🏻🙏🏻
1:15 we had someone in our school like that, we still do
I loved this SO MUCH back then and I still do!! Seriously, it made my experience with a chronic liar so much more bearable! xD
They lied about EVERYTHING but I only found out about it after 7 years of what I thought was a good friendship.
They lied about their career, about their job, about their friends, about ME and other people, they even told everyone that we had a "lesbian relationship" but also that I'd be a crazy person and they would "take care of me" and stuff. When I found out about it all, I broke off the friendship and contact to them, they (- to this day though-) stalked me for another 8 -9 years. (they still try to contact me, but more like "sending out their "friends" to spy on my social media xD)
It was really a bad time, but then this meme came out in between and it was sooo perfect and funny xD It helped a lot to brighten my mood about this experience, it was like they even have an own themesong now.
Sorry for the story-time ^^' I'm just so happy that it's all in the past and people like this guy really saved my mood for a lot of times! ^^
0:44 it happens to the best of us :')
Prime example of why you gotta act on that inspiration when it strikes
The story actually makes it 10 X funnier because we all know someone like that. Like why are you lying? What is the point lmbo
I love how memes always have a legit and deep story behind them. :D
The origin story wasn’t deep though
1:00 real life Clayton from the amazing world of gumball
The toilet made it better I thought it was a trashcan
This dude was the mannnnnn back then during the meme battles!
0:05 the picture u can hear
This is my favourite meme story! This guy is actually so genuine
I agree 😊
This dude is fly as hell
He seems really nice and genuine, love his song
I like how they don't even link his original video.
Thanks for showing support Buzzfeed
I don't know who came up with the I accidentally became a meme series but that person is a genius and I love it.
I still remember in 2015 in primary school, a lot of kids were talking about this video, and I only just remembered now.
I’m glad he explained the toilet 😂😂 I thought it was a prop and he put it there on purpose
If I saw him now I probably won't recognize him, damn the glow up. He looks soooo fine.
I used to be just like your friend. I used to lie about my life in high school because I wasn’t interesting. Your song inspired me to stop talking and actually become interesting
His personality is everything, I love it, he needs to be on tv always.😍😍
