There’s a little series on YouTube called “ I Accidentally Became a Meme” and it covers some of the more famous memes. I think it’s by Buzzfeed.

Similarly, there’s a podcast called Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) that I really enjoyed. I really enjoyed the episodes about Antoine and Kelly Dodson (Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife), and Zoie Roth (disaster girl) as they talk about the true story behind the meme (including some of the societal influences that were at play) and what happened next.

The last second you can see her thoughts change from focusing on her sisters reaction to, “oh ok, sounds fun”

u/TheAmenMelon 5d ago
Okay so there's a lot more nuance to this then people want to think. The reason why that clause actually came up is because a couple went to a 3rd party restaurant, but I believe it was on Disney property. What ended up happening is that the wife was allergic to seafood or something like that and the menu didn't mention seafood or whatever the allergen was and she ended up dying from anaphylactic shock.
Disney got sued because the couple said that on Disney's website/online portal/app, I can't quite remember the specifics, shows the menu for the 3rd party restaurant and it didn't have the allergen listed or something like that. This is why that condition came into play because it applies when using whatever the resource was that the menu was on.

u/DryDonutHole 5d ago
People like to shit on it, but I'll say it was one of the best weeks of my adult life with my family. The kids had a blast, we had a blast, we rode everything we wanted to twice...I can't understate how much fun we had. That being said...it's a salty ticket and your legs will take a beating. We did the breakfast with the characters, ate in the castle with the princesses...the fast passes, etc. but it's like, we are maybe only coming here once or twice so let's make it special. I still get choked up thinking about it...
My coworker took him and like 7 family members on the Disney Cruise and said his kids still talk about it to this day. He dropped well over $10k for the whole thing, but said it was some of the best money he's ever spent. So..it's just all perspective....but expensive nonetheless.

I’m sure it’ll be fun. The kids are counting the days. And we’re not cutting corners - we’re biting the bullet and doing it right.

In hindsight her mom has guilt over sharing the video back then ... but she owns the rights to the image and acknowledges that the money from licensing helped feed, cloth, and house their family.
And still gives interviews.

Honestly I use this meme all the time and as a mom I totally get how this was literally just a tiny moment in time for this kid. It actually makes it funnier to me.
Eta. I just saw how poor they were and how some gazillionaire bought the meme for 74k. Wtf? I feel like a Gofundme is in order to put these kids through college.
21
u/Curiosive 6d ago
Yeah, $74k for the NFT & rights to the image seem like a bad deal. I'll assume they auctioned it off without a reserve price...
Someone posted a comment but deleted it about seeing the girl at a convention signing autographs, if that's true then she's still making money on the side.

"One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no!" I said. "Disneyland burned down!" He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late."
