Cover Yourself in Oil
About
Cover Yourself in Oil refers to a Troll Science meme in which a person covers themselves in oil and manages to fly in the rain due to oil being less dense than water. Originating from a 2020 9GAG post, it was interpreted by many as a repost of an older meme and was later reimagined in ironic memes.
Origin
On February 12th, 2020, 9GAG [1] [2] [12] user bebelik (formerly gegirik) posted an original four-panel Troll Science meme in which a person covers itself in oil and manages to fly in rain by exploiting the fact that oil is less dense than water. The post received over 10,700 points in eight months (shown below).
Spread
On February 13th, an unknown Redditor [3] reposted a lower-quality version of the image to /r/4PanelCringe subreddit. The post received over 8,100 upvotes prior to being deleted. On February 14th, the image was shared in /r/trollscience, [4] /r/ComedyArchaelogy [5] and /r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu [6] subreddits, with many commenters [7] [8] assuming that the image originated in early 2010s during the peak popularity of Troll Physics memes.
On February 15th, 2020, Redditor [9] IMainRicochet made the earliest known derivative meme based on the comic, replacing the last panel with the «ball crush» panel. The edit received over 10,500 upvotes in /r/okbuddyretard in six months (shown below).
Starting in mid-February 2020, edits based on the comic started gaining popularity in ironic meme communities on Reddit. For example, a February 21st, 2020, post by Redditor [10] happiness_generator received over 6,000 upvotes in /r/ShitPostCrusaders subreddit in six months (shown below, left). A March 2nd, 2020, post by Redditor [11] r_pote gained over 9,200 upvotes in /r/ComedyNecrophilia in the same period (shown below, right).
In the following months, the format maintained moderate popularity on Reddit, with /r/ComedyNecrophilia becoming the largest driver behind the meme’s growth. Starting in mid-November 2020, the meme gained larger spread online, with multiple viral examples posted on Twitter and Instagram.
Подольский инцидент
Подольский инцидент (Нью-йоркский инцидент, Trollface Incident) – мем, основанный на комиксе с троллфейсом, который якобы предсказывает загадочные события в будущем.
Происхождение
Основой мема является комикс Cover Yourself in Oil (“Покройте себя маслом”). Оригинальную картинку запостили на 9Gag в феврале 2020 года. Пикча стала вирусной, а к концу года превратилась в самостоятельный мем.
Масло легче воды
1) Дождитесь дождя
2) Покройте себя маслом
27 ноября 2020 года пользователь твиттера @ebola_granola опубликовал новую версию комикса. В ней последнюю панель заменили на предсказание загадочного инцидента Heaven Stairway, который якобы должен произойти в мае 2021 года.
Со временем форс мема стал развиваться. Появилась ютуб-версия предсказания и отдельные варианты копипасты.
Классическая версия истории заключается в том, что в мае 2021 года произошло крушение нефтяного танкера (oil tanker). В результате инцидента нефть (oil в английском языке означает и “масло”, и “нефть”) покрыла людей в Нью-Йорке, и они начали подниматься в небо.
В декабре на разных площадках стали появляться новые версии “инцидентов”. Например, так называемый Aurora Woods Incident, который произойдет в августе 2021 года.
В рунете в январе 2021 года получили распространение сразу два таких мема. Это Black Mesa Incident и “Подольский инцидент”. Последний продолжает традицию абстрактных мемов и крипипаст про Подольск.
“Подольский инцидент” подразумевает историю о том, что 26 мая 2021 года в Подольске произошло загадочное событие, участники которого буквально летали в небе, как и предсказывалось в мемах.
Значение
Мемы про подольский инцидент (и другие вариации) продолжают традицию крипи-мемов, когда масса участников нагнетают атмосферу вокруг выдуманного события. Делается это ради троллинга тех, кто “не в теме” и случайно увидит мем в комментариях.
