Memes are an amazing part of the emerging collective consciousness of the internet. They're videos or photos of everyday events or hilarious situations and stories that we all connect with, or that simply make us laugh.
To begin covering these memes, I present to you a video series that gained popularity in recent years called
Charlie the Unicorn.
History of CharlieThe first Charlie video was released in as an animation test by Jason Steele as an animation test for his mother, and was released on the website
Newgrounds in 2005.
However the video quickly caught popularity with the college crowds who were just beginning to massively network in 2006, and three subsequent videos were released.
The first video received mentions and plays in posts by
Wired and
Mashable.
The first Charlie video on Youtube has received 16 million views on Youtube, and the most recent video was released on Friday.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
