      I remember Phil Wizard, who won gold in the men’s competition. And Danny Dan who won silver, Victor who won bronze, and Shigekix who lost the bronze match.

      I can’t seem to find the men’s finals on YouTube but if you can find it I highly recommend it. It was awesome. I really hope Breaking returns in 2032, the level of sportsmanship and joy the competitors showed was amazing.

      Her most memed moments came from her third contest, after she had failed to score a single point in her first 2.

      So yeah, I think she might have been having some fun with it the third time around. She knew she wouldn’t progress out of the pool phase, so why not have fun with it?

      Yoa doawg! Course I was trollin’! B-girls be whack N I jus be keeping it real bruh! - Raygun

      She’s either the next Ali-G or just a starry-eyed dreamer who wasn’t about to let her mom-bod get in the way of her aspirations. Either way I give her props and hope she has the ability to share in some of the laughter she brought to the world. Im glad she’s out there keeping it real.

      In the show, the Ramones performed, Mr. Burns was offended, and he tells Smithers “Have the Rolling Stones killed.”

      The meme is Mr Burns confuses two celebrities and orders one killed in his massive disappointment.

      They both went viral somewhat recently. I think that’s the joke, Burns is so old and out of touch he mixed them up.

    Why? The ones winning the contests haven’t been on a-social media that often. So she’s most famous for her style. Chapeau!

    At least she gave things a try, unlike most people

    Raise your hands if you’ve been in the Olympics…

    Me and my mates so stupid stuff all the time just to mess around… It’s better to try something and fail then not try at all. And she’ll have a great pub story

      And when you’re messing around, are you representing your entire nation live? She arguably hurt the sport by delegitimizing it on its debut

      To clarify. The hawk tua is the sound one makes when reeling up saliva and then spitting.

      The lady in question said her magic blow job secret was spitting all over the knob. Somehow that vibed with the internet.
