Don't worry if your favorite meme didn't get on, this is only episode 1, we'll get to it I promise!

"Araki Forgot" belongs in F-tier, because people took it seriously to the point of genuinely believing that Araki was a shit author.

The ironic thing about killing dogs was that Araki actually loved dogs a lot. The reason why he had so many dog deaths happen in Jojo was because he wanted to convey the feeling of absolute evil and disgust in the antagonists. And the one thing that he felt would be so horrifying and disgusting and insane was the killing of dogs, the one thing he loved the most.

The best part of the licking memes is the dub. Hearing Kakyoin’s VA aggressively say “LICKLICKLICKLICKLICK” is phenomenal.

I watched jojo only because of the torture dance, I wanted to check out the episode where the torture dance was for understanding the context behind the dance and didn't understand anything so I just watched the entire jojo and it was so good I read the manga

Mista when his meme gets put in the 4th category: th-this really sucks

On the topic of dogs, even though Kars was a villain, I immediately like him because he saved a dog

as a new jojo watcher, i can say shamelessly, that most of these actually made me laugh. probably because i understand the references but ive never seen the memes 😭 its refreshing too because i finished it so i genuinely can understand them all

B tier: stand out A tier: outstanding S tier: stand proud

Banana doppio is the kind of thing where you would laugh the first time out of confusion, but hate it every other time

doppio getting eaten by polpo was hilarious tho lmao

Hamon Beat didn't kill the Araki Forgot meme, he killed the people who killed it.

Fun fact: araki never forgot star finger, he just did not give it more screen time because of how weak it is

"Awaken" gives me PTSD cause I put it as my alarm sound I wake up to "Awaken" shaking and crying every day

I’m probably gonna get hate for saying this, but “You thought it was Perfume, but it was I, deodorant.” might just be the best version of the “Kono DIO da” meme I’ve seen.

"is that a Jojo reference?" is like the "is this loss?" of anime community

internet safety psas: don't give out your personal information on the internet. 14 year olds: my name is yoshikage kira--

To be continued was so overused, that my school used it for the morning announcements. Not even joking. Edit: I asked around later, and none of the kids that make the broadcasts knew what JJBA is.

ok but I'm genuinely curious, where the hell did banana doppio arise from? what unholy pit of hell did beelzebub create him in only for him to be kicked out for his crimes, so despicable, that even the dark lord himself rejected him

never felt so betrayed when Kira's Theme gets cut out at it's most well known part

You can't hide the truth, it's clear from all your reactions that banana meme was the one you secretly love the most.

Doesn't mistas stand have a stand cry? "YEE HAW"

really glad that Jacks giving the smaller youtubers like Shuckmeister more spotlight

The first Mista meme they showed at 12:12 has to be one of the most relatable experiences in memes I’ve seen

I am kind of surprised at how wholesome the JJBA fandom is. I have never had a bad experience with it after being... taken in i guess by my friend.

The first jojo meme I've seen was "to be continued" and that was before I even started watching jojo, I didnt know it was a jojo meme til I watched jojo.

When he said "Is it S tier worthy? Probably not." I just think of old Joseph saying "Probably not"

I've always felt that the whole kakyoin painting thing could be seen as obviously hierophant can see what kakyoin sees so kakyoin was using it as a sort of command for hierophant to attack there with emerald splash lol

I will say, the Kira speech is an unbelievably great scene, despite the memes

I mean, considering even _Paw Patrol_ references it, I'd say Jojo poses are pretty iconic!

Is that a jojo reference better be at F tier I swear to god I've seen enough, i'm satisfied

I love how mistas stand is similar to the emperor and yet the emperor is the 4th tarot card

At first, the only reason I liked Speedwagon is because his name was *FUCKING SPEEDWAGON* Then I watched more and more, and I really enjoyed his character arc. And how him starting the SPW foundation became one of the most important factions in Jojo.

Fun fact: purple haze’s stand cry is actually “Ubasha”!

The entire lobby: to be continued isn't funny as a compilation Jack: *puts a compilation of to be continued memes in the background*

Plot twist: King crimson doesn't actually erase time, it just makes him ethereal, puts everyone on autopilot, and then erases all their memories of the 10 seconds.

The Dio vs Jotaro always makes me laught. The "Oi josuke" too.

Stroheim saying “Speeeeedwagoooooon” is S tier alone.

Banana Doppio fact: The lower you rank it, The higher the chance of death. Banana Doppio out.

"Dotaro!" "Jio" This made me laugh more than i expected

them putting banana doppio in f tier: Diavolo: Look how they've massacred my boy

I can't believe he missed the best meme of all time... HAH YOU FELL FOR IT U FOOL THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK

The Reference meme was funny when the fandom was smaller, now it’s overused. The entire point of the meme was that it was basically an inside joke.

Where's the "A Enemy Stand User is near! It could be anyone!" The Stand Master: Goofy Clothed People

The "It Just Works" meme is very outdated, because it was created in a time of shitty scans, and when it was adapted for anime King Crimson is very simple--skipping time is hard to convey in comics because between panels there is already skipped time.

“Araki Forgot” isn’t a meme because there’s a sizable amount of people that genuinely believe it, hence why HB took it upon himself to explain everything in the first place lmfao

whenever i hear "is that a jojo reference" i cant help but think of breathing

I feel that the only way you can salvage the “Is that a Jojo reference” is if it’s used after someone does something crazy and their response is “yes, that is a Jojo reference”, like punching a frog and getting a poisonous reaction and is now in the hospital.

The rero rero will forever hold a very important place in my heart. The first time I watched JoJo I quit after about 3 episodes in because I was like “This IS really bizarre” but a year after my friend sent me a SpongeBob meme of squidward opening the door to yellow temperance “Kakyoin” going rero rero and I cried laughed and decided to toughen through part 1 which I found boring. Funnily enough I’m rewatching part 1 and I’m like “Where is the boring??” I got to the Dio walking up the wall and “wowzers”, my past self was a fool. Honestly I blocked out most of p1 so it’s like I’m watching it for the first time!

*starts talking about JoJo poses* Me: ehh it’s not really that funny *Stroheim meme shows up on screen* Me: collapses lungs from laughter

*clap clap* NEXT MEME

I love how they’re all going on about how deep in the fandom one has to be to learn about Duwang when I knew about it long before I actually started JoJo

I got an ad for the aspca as they were discussing the dead dogs meme, that was impeccable

fun fact. im autistic and I picked up wrry and various other stand cries as echolalia stims. I don't really do it around other people because masking but yea, screaming out wRRRYYYY is really fun to me. also jojos is one of my special interests

Thank you for putting Banana Doppio in its place

I actually drew the manga panel Dio vs Jotoro. It was among us characters with long, muscular, and hyper realistic legs. And i did it for the front cover of my art class sketchbook. And that one senior in the class hated it every time he saw it lmfao!

I feel like you guys are too young to understand the 'memes' before memes was a thing. WRYYY was iconic because it was unique, but what elevated it dramatically was a clip from the JJBA video game demonstrating *all* of the DIO memes put together. It was common in comparison to All your base belong to us. In the same fashion; translations of Part 4 and 5 was the primary memes of the jojo fanbase at the time - because that's the only translations we got. So the "How does king crimson work?" is a meme because it was the most common question; part 4 duwang gang was bad, but part 5 was *really* bad in some versions: I clearly remember multiple pages being reduced to ~15 words at best - and that was the best I had access to. I was ~8 years old at the time, you think I'd understand how King Crimson works? Duwang gang speaks for itself, but forgets all the terrible, terrible versions that thankfully didn't survive. Duwang is endless entertainment. "Is that a jojo reference?" is exactly what it sounds like, except jojo have had such a constant stream of new readers that see their manga in almost *everything* It's no different than "is that a north star reference?" - the point is that jojo is *incredibly* easy to reference (or, to make memes of) relative to most other manga. "Is that a jojo reference?" is how fans found each other online before it became widespread (being online, not jojo).

"How does drama exist in the Jojo community?" Oh sweet summer child...

Torture dance being S tier made me so happy, I love that scene and that meme so much

*Them:* Talking about 'Dwuang' being S tier Me who haven't read Manga: "Guess I'll never know"

Purple hazes cry is actually "Uryshahya" extremely fast, faster than most every other cry, so it SOUNDS like gibberish, but it is indeed a true stand cry.

Okay, so literally the jojoke out of all of them I hate the most IS THE KAKYOIN MILF HUNTER JOKE ITS LITERALLY SO UNFUNNY AND JUST STALE, ITS LITERALLY ALWAYS REUSED TOO

We recorded this series a real long time ago, so don't expect any of the newer memes. Also, this series will cover ALL the memes, even the dead ones. Thanks to everybody who partipated.

I’m new to JoJo but speedwagon is amazing Man is literally just an dramatic narrator and a true homie to the Joestars

The contempt behind that "Banana-fucking-Doppio!" was true art.

the banana doppio meme is so bad that it's circled back to funny for me. also I always find doppios facial expressions funny, ain't a thought behind that boys head

"Awaken" is the best alarm sound ever. Even more if you sleep like a rock.

6:41 Araki really overused the "Villain kills an animal to show they're evil" trope in the earlier parts, but I will defend this one with the simple fact that its an old urban legend, it references the story where the actual dog was murdered, so this wasn't Araki's choice as God to murder another dog lmao, it's just accuracy... and another thing to fuel Kira's hand fetish lol

To Be Continued easily gets S tier It's a funny meme that sprouts off the cutoff memes like perfectly cut screams It's a fucking great song that plays, Roundabout by Yes is so goddamn good, and it personally made me love Prog Rock Also that the To Be Continued meme originated from JoJo, but isn't well known to be from JoJo, it's a surprise when the Spanish guitar plays and the episode cuts off.

Kakyoin does use possession again in the death 13 fight

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I’m 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don’t smoke, but I occasionally drink. I’m in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn’t lose to anyone.

The "Cono Dio da!" meme is still funny as shit, just as long as it's used in the right context.

7:08 I am so glad Police didn't die. I saw he had a dog, and got totally worried tbh. Such a good boy, and I guess Police is too.

6:45 the theory of araki getting bitten by a dog as a child is like when you're writing a book and you write in a character to be a person you hate, then voraciously kill that character off

I legit jumped for joy when I saw you all included my 3D Banana Doppio in the video at 18:34 Edit: Holy crap you put two of mine in there. And yea I agree with the F tier honestly

The problem with Araki Forgot is it became so overused people outside and inside the fandom starting using it as criticism instead of a joke.

The Awaken My Masters meme truly awakened MY masters.

koichi pose is gold

The thing with the King Crimson "how does/it just works" meme is that it was born from shitty scanlations and is only kept alive by either people who legit don't get it or people trying to keep a dead meme alive. The only thing keeping it from F is that it's more or less gone and that one time the front man of King Crimson the band referenced the meme on Social Media.

It absolutely rocks my shit that the Torture Dance song is a legally distinct cover of P Control. Like damn.

My personal rankings of each meme: -Kono Dio Da is a high C/low B for me, much like on your list. It was good during 2016/2017 when JoJo was initially growing in popularity among anime and internet circles, but it's just become pretty overused ever since and pretty much every creative version of the joke has been done already. I will say that it is still a good supporting meme in a much larger meme, though. -Torture Dance, Jotaro vs. Dio, and Awaken My Masters are all S-Tier for the same reasons you already stated. -Dead Dogs is an easy D-tier for me. Pretty much every meme that uses it has an obvious punchline, and when you come to realize that like half of the major dog deaths occur in Part 3 and that no dogs die after Part 4 (Unless there's one or two I'm forgetting about), the meme loses its gimmick and charm of being a series-spanning reoccurring theme. -Stand Cries are F-Tier, and that's mostly because of personal biaess. I had a friend in middle and high school who used constantly scream "MUDA MUDA MUDA" or one of the other stand cries at least once every time I saw him and it got super fucking annoying very quickly. If we disregard my personal bias, it's still F/D-tier because there's not much you can do with the Stand Cries. -S?TTASTFTA and its companion are D-tier. I've never been a big fan of most reaction memes, and those are two most reactiony reaction memes ever. -Poses are A-Tier for the reasons you stated. -Kira monologue is an F-Tier for me, being easily one of, if not my least favorite JoJo meme. Copypastas in isolated chambers like r/Copypasta are funny, but once they start getting used outside of that they lose any comedic value they might've had because it's very hard to tamper with a Copypasta without making it infinitely inferior to the original (Though I will admit when paired with sentance mixing in YTPs, the Kira monologue becomes super funny). As for hand memes, they're C-tier. They can be funny, but they can also be really unfunny, and that just makes the meme average for me. -I have no real feelings about Banana Doppio because I rarely use r/ShitPostCrusaders. -Koichi pose is high B/low A. I don't know why, it's just funny to me. -Araki Forgot is somewhere between D and F for me, though I'm leaning more towards F. Even before the drama surrounding that meme started popping up, I never found either of Shuck's videos about it all that good. The first video's tone was too serious to convey the fact that it was a joke, while the second one was so blatant and obvious about the fact that it was a joke that it lost any satirical wit or irony that could've made it actually funny. And then when Araki Forgot started blowing up, you had a bunch of dumbfucks (Mainly anime-onlys, part skippers, and people with biases against specific) using the meme to hide very flawed and braindead criticisms of parts and characters behind the thin veil of a joke that anyone with a single functional neuron could debunk. And while I do admire Hamon Beat's attempts to clear up the misconceptions that were caused by Araki Forgot, he was way, way too elitist and hostile towards other JoJo fans during those videos, which only caused massive rifts between the Araki Forgot-ers and the Araki Forgot Debunkers. And then things got more messy when Shuck saw the Debunking Araki Forgot videos as an attack on him (Despite the fact that Hamon Beat made it clear in the DAF introduction video that he saw Shuck's video as a joke), and started retaliating back at him, all while completely downplaying and denying the idea that he might've contributed to encouraging and/or starting the misconceptions that came with Araki Forgot. So yeah, the aftermath of Araki Forgot was mess, and before that it was never too funny to begin with. -Za Warudo is either C or B for me. It's too overused and only really works as a supporting meme in a larger meme. -WRRRYYY is F-Tier for similar reasons to the Stand Cries. -"How does King Crimson work?" is a D-tier. It's a meme that only really relates to older fans of the series and/or people who read the manga first, and since I'm neither I don't get much enjoy from it. If you're in one of those camps, "How does King Crimson work?" is probably super funny to you, but IDK. -If I hadn't gone back to read the manga for Parts 1-5 last year, I probably would've ranked Duwang low. But since I did read them, I have to say: Duwang is the easiest S-Tier ever. -Speedwagon memes are on a spectrum for me. Speedwagon Narrating Everything is an A-tier, maybe S-tier for me due to how absurd Speedwagon's narrations are and the fact they lead to a lot of comedic potential. Stroheim saying Speedwagon's name is funny, but it doesn't work in a meme so I'd rank it D-tier. "Even Speedwagon is afraid", "Speedwagon withdraws cooly", and the image of Speedwagon smashing the Stone Masks are just r/dankmemes or r/memes-tier reaction posts, so I'd give them a C or D. And I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for it from dumbfucks r/ShitPostCrusaders users and JoJo Instagram dwelllers, but I have never liked the "Speedwagon is best girl" memes. The punchline is the same every single time, there is little creativity between them. Not only that, but "Speedwagon is best girl" memes tend to be super normie bait, and the fact I had to just use the term "Normie" unironically is making me irrationally angry. F-tier, all the way, no questions. -Loaves of Bread is B-tier. It's funny, but not much else. -Licking in the context of YTPs and YTPMVs is an easy S-Tier, but outside of that they're just C-tier. -To Be Continued gets the D-tier mostly due to how beaten into the ground it's become. It was funny at one point, but not any more. -"WAS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?" is an F-tier, both unironically and ironically. Unironically, saying it makes you sound like an socially inept loser who hasn't logged off of Reddit or Twitter in the past 7 months. Ironically, the joke's the same every time; It's just someone pointing at something and going "JoOj ReFeReNcE! Dur dur duuuuuurrrrrrr..." It's not funny, and especially annoying if you're not a JoJo fan.

As a versus debater, I can confirm King Crimson is actually still confusing when you overanalyze it.

The yoshikage kite copy pasta is pretty funny if it's perfect timing like let's say your in class and the teacher asks everyone to introduce themselves that's just perfect

Even though the “holy shit is that a jojo reference” is a very overplayed and annoying meme, it is still one of the most popular jojo memes and really cemented it’s place in the community. As much as it’s disliked, it’s so pivotal to jojo memes as a whole

They played the "she's prego scene" 3 times in TLOF2? Wow, that's impressively bad.

"Is that a jojo reference" only works ironically. Like in actually ironic use. And for that it works well. The tissue is that it is completely overused to the point where it loses the part that made it funny in the first place.

bruh why don't you have way more subs man? You deserve more. Keep up the stupid and funny videos, awesome work.

I am genuinely angered by MOST of the Araki forgot memes A few of them are true.

Something cool in the last part 3 op, you can actually see the way that kakyoin and joseph meet their end "well, I mean, joseph didn't but still, it shows a knife piercing his throat) you can also see the way that Iggy dies down the point of view

Before watching part 1-3 there were so many memes that I didn’t get and then I saw them and became the meme of that one guy pointing at the tv screen

I have only one thing to say: My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

you lost me at banana doppio. my humour is broken so i loved it.

I'm a bit torn on Torture Dance. On one hand, what they did was amazing & the fact it became an animation meme etc. and spread around like that is also pretty grand. But at the same time, perhaps because of its recency, before I got into JoJo I didn't see it anywhere or know what it was. I may have seen it somewhere before Once but that was about it - until I started looking up JoJo stuff when I finally watched it all. It's impressive but not necessarily funny, you know? But you know another part 5 scene that I Did see, although I didn't connect it to JoJo, was the scene with Narancia, Mista & Abbacchio + 'the enemy', and that one? That one is hilarious. Especially when you learn that Those Are The 'Good Guys'. And I've carried the memory of that scene with me since Perhaps you can't do all That much with it, other than inserting different things/text over the characters beating up 1 thing, but other than that, that scene even out of context is just gold. You do not expect Abbacchio to care, but then he Joins

The Hey Ya! stand cry was actually hilarious

I've never seen Banana Doppio, but when it came up in this video, I couldn't stop laughing.

For the "Araki forgot" meme; this is a part 6 reference btw but in pt 6 you can see jolyne and some other Human characters grab stands with their bare hands when in part 3 where stands are first introduced you can see that if you try to punch a stand with your bare hands they will phase right through it because a stand is just spiritual energy in the purest form. i honestly think this is the BIGGEST "Araki Forgot" in JJBA

I’m honestly just so tired of smaller creators hating on MatPat as if he’s personally insulting them. He is a large KZfaq’s who has been on the plate form for a long time and does videos on very popular game. Why does that make him a villain, even in a joking sense

What about two same rocks on the desert? Funniest shit I've ever seen

This is the greatest high is one of the best memes, I can’t stop saying it lol

12:37 Heyyyy I made that meme! And I also was the first to put the images in the Drake format. Cool to see it featured in the video
