Memes Throughout the ages episode 286: Angry Birds Big Ear Red Listening

The podcast explores the origin and evolution of the "Angry Birds listening" meme, which began with a fictional mobile app called "Talking Red" where a red bird was said to repeat sounds with a screech. Though the app likely never existed or was lost, the image of the bird with a human ear and hand became a viral reaction meme used ironically to respond to something absurd or poorly executed. The meme spread across platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where users created increasingly absurd AI-generated versions—adding lasers, the numbers "6,7," and even feet—to exaggerate the bird’s presence. These variations reflect a broader trend in internet humor toward irony and absurdity. The podcast notes that the original 2D version predates a fake 3D version, suggesting the meme’s authenticity lies in its simplicity. The discussion also draws connections between the meme’s cultural impact and wider trends in online humor, AI-generated content, and internet satire. While the meme’s creators may not have intended deep meaning, its widespread use highlights how irony and absurdity now dominate digital communication. The episode ends with humorous tangents on topics like flappy bird, nuclear energy, and AI ethics, reinforcing the meme’s role as a symbol of internet absurdity and self-aware humor.

Hello, my name is RemTVM, and I'm BCA, and I'm Super Mega Man 10. And welcome to Memes Throughout the Ages. Hey everyone, hey guys. Welcome back to the podcast. We are back. We're not dead. I don't know why you, I don't, I don't know why you're dead. Why were you dead after the last, last week? Why would we be dead? No, maybe Dale, Dale killed us with his, his like, his roar. You could do I said you could eat twice. You say you could do when I lost? We got, we got marked as explicit on that one too, because I said that I would, I, well, it's about to happen a third time in a row. Oh, don't do it again, but I didn't say for work times. I said that I would, I would beat Dale's, but at Avatar, fighting me. All right, you said the A word, because that's for some reason marked as explicit. Anyway, hey guys, welcome back to me instead of ages, I'm asking you to ask me the thing. BCA, yeah, what is our meme for today? Our meme for today is the Angry Birds ear slash listening meme, not just the original, I think we'll also be going over the AI variants as well. Yeah, I'll probably, I'm going to make, I'm going to make the cover. I'm going to make the cover of the AI swap one because that one's more recognizable. No, you should put, you should put them side by side. You know, yeah, I will, I, oh my god, you know what I should do? I should do like, like, new pro hacker and then have like the hacker and like have the hacker one be like the six, seven, what, you know, like the eight, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that one. You should have the pro be the captain Kirkland, yeah, that one where he has like the foot and the, in the hand, yeah, well, I'm, I'm, I think I'm looking at it right now actually. Um, but yeah, that's right, that's our meme for today. You've probably seen this a lot. It's kind of impossible to escape it. It's like one of the five gifts and stickers on rotation. Yeah. I've seen so many in like comment sections. I've literally, I've opened comment sections and I have said the order of gifts LC before I even like, open the comments and I've got it right before I, I'm for, I went like, speed gift, like, give angry words listening and I got it in that exact order. Yeah, I was just, it's just becoming so predictable, you know, it's just like reusing the same people over and over again, like, if, you know, but it's, but it's funny, it is funny. You know, I love you, I already never died. No, I think we're like, I think we're too far gone at this point, I think we're locked into the irony. I will never get out. I don't, I don't think it's possible. Like, how could we? Well, I mean, no one ever thought M.O.G. was going to die. You know, that's, that's true, but I feel like this is like completely changed the way we perceive, like not even just memes, but humor in general, like all humor now, not even just through means is focused around, I think, things being ironic, yeah. So like, yeah, it's really funny to see how this started, like, how they were like hints of this back in like 2020 with like the grew cock and be 20 Among Us things. But was it, was that ever ironic? I know, I don't think so. It like teeter down on being ironic, yeah, genuinely laughing at the word far. That, you know, it's okay, we're, we're not there anymore. No, no, no, no, no, no, it can't hurt us anymore, don't worry. All right, so the Angry Birds, uh, listening slash Angry Birds ear meme, um, is a reaction image slash gif that comes from an Angry Birds, uh, app, mobile app, okay, you're getting Burger King. Um, I honestly thought that app was fake and it was just like as a joke or something. You didn't hold on the talking Angry Birds app, yeah, I thought it wasn't real. You didn't? Well, actually, I don't blame you. This does, this does not look real. Yeah, look at it. Like does it, like does this look like a, you know, it occur in an app? It does. Like, why is he having a normal hand? Because that's the joke. Oh, okay, so I, yeah, I don't know how I didn't. Get that, yeah, but yeah, that's where the image comes from. Well, the one you're going to say, okay, so the image on the cover art, this one is all the way on the left. This is the normal one that's the new, that's the new, this is where it came from, um, uh, and then people started using it in, in comment sections on TikTok and also Instagram as well, um, not just on YouTube, but also on Instagram, social reference. And um, yeah, people would use it as a reaction gift to something that sounds good, well, something that sounds good, quote unquote, it's used ironically for the most part on things that it sounds absolutely horrible or something that's funny, like a gem alarm, you know, I used to be a gem alert. It really is, there's one that, yeah, there's like versions of it I've seen where it's like, it's that, it's that, it's that image, but it's like, it's AI to be like diamonds and stuff like that. Yeah. Also, so many people are using gem alarms now, yeah, but I know that I've gotten a couple of them on, yeah, my comment section, that, that's something that wasn't good for me. Hello, this Mega Man, like, even a gem, like, could you even call his content a gem? Uh, I mean, I guess so. Right? No, I mean, ironically, could you call it a gem, like, could you say, is this share slop material? Is this something you send your friend, laugh at it, and don't like it and then keep on scrolling? Yeah. Is it? I don't. Are we talking about Mega Man or the, the Angry Bear? I'm not about Mega Man. Mega Man. Um, is this content that type you just like send your friend and not like the video and just keep on scrolling? You know, like, those videos on Instagram that have way more shares than likes? Yeah. Call it like a man's content that I don't, I think, I think you could. It depends. I think some videos differ from others. Yeah. The one that I posted like two days ago got like a bunch of likes. Mm-hmm. I think it depends. Also, I think that's more of an Instagram thing than a TikTok thing. No, like, I've seen several on TikTok. No, I mean, like, oh, like a video having more shares than likes. No, I mean, like, that's what I'm talking about. Oh, I was, I thought you were typing the context of my, like, the, the thing I did two days ago. No, we're talking about videos having more shares than likes. Oh. Yeah, I feel like that's a more Instagram thing. Yeah. Anyway, hold on. So the talking red app, um, does, I assume does not exist anymore. I, I, I think with, I can, I can assure you this does not exist. Um, if you want to know an app, it's similar to that you've probably played talking Tom, very similar to those, um, where it's just made as a parody to those, it, that would make sense. Yeah. You, you talk to it and then it says the thing back and like the voice. Yeah, but here's the thing about the, about the angry bridge app. He doesn't do that. He just goes. It kind of cut out, but BCA did the reds screeching noises. - Just does that. - Yeah. So people would start to take this, the original image, and they made it into an AI-like. Like, I don't even know what they did to it, 'cause it's not even like they took the original meme and just like added effects to it. - Before that, before the AI, it was people drawing it differently and doing different variations of it. - Oh, okay, so people then, so people drew the different variations of it, and then someone took the drawing of it and turned it into an AI image. - Yes. - Which is, that's the one you see in the middle. Is the-- - I think so, yeah. - We're gonna put the AI one in the middle. And then, the one all the way on the right, people, it got to the point where people, you know how people are. - Make it add, make it two lasers, make it say six, seven. - Yeah, that's exactly what they did. They made it like, they made it animated too. There's like an actual like, like video of the, of red, in ultra realistic red, holding a mango with lasers all around him. With six, seven, the number six, seven in both of his eyes. And he's like walking around, like-- - Yeah, it's so, like, it's disgusting. By the way, this is the second AI image, like AI cover art we've had this season 'cause we talked about three purple hearts. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the same like style too. They always give them lasers and lightning and make it say six, seven. - Yeah, I don't, I don't get it, why? - I don't know. - So yeah, that's the one you see, that's the one you're gonna see all the way to the right. (laughs) It's, I don't like it. - Isn't it great? - You know, it is. So yeah, people use all three of those as reaction images to hearing something in a video that's either like, it's supposed to be ironic to where the sat, the, whatever's being played sounds horrible, or sometimes it's actually used when it sounds good, sorry. Sometimes it's not used as like an ironic meme reaction image thingy. Sometimes it's used when something good is playing, but used like the normal AI one. But then other times when it's something that's bad though, they'll also use it, or they'll use like the six, seven ultra realistic one. And then they also use it as like a substitute for the jam alarm. - I also like, I need to mention during the one where it's animated, he like gains feet. - He does? - Yeah, he gains, see he's walking around, he gains feet and walks around. - I don't, I don't like that. Okay. This is, why, why do people do this? - It's funny. - Yeah, it is. - It's really funny. - Anyway, so that's-- - Yeah, the AI is better than pencil saw. - You know what you're right. Magonam, what do you think about that? - Don't talk to me. - Don't talk to me. - Oh my god, are you seeing this one? - Hold on, let me. (soft music) Hold on. - It's a live chat. - Oh, sorry, I was checking the wrong foot. Oh my god. - But even if this-- - I don't know, it's like, if I could describe it, it's like a, it's not even like red, it's like a baby red. - Yeah. - With like big-- - He's crying, he has his mouth wide open, he has teeth. - And like, there's a bunch of musical notes all around him. And they're like different colors. - Yeah, like, he was like a warped ear. (laughs) - This is like, looking at it, it kind of reminds me of Spider-Man into the Spider-Cruciation. - But it's like, as like, you kind of go in between, like, you see a whole bunch of black dots. That's what it looks like. - So it's like a slot machine when you win $2. God, this is so cool. It is cool. I like it. Well, I like it as much as you can like, whatever it is. - Yeah. (laughs) - So yeah, that's what the meme is. But BCA, can you tell us the origin of this meme where it came from, all that jazz, you know? - Yeah, I can, I was feeling something. - All right. So, oh, hold on. He's using AI. - No, I'm not. - Oh my God. - I'm not using AI. - See? - Well, you didn't log in, we can't make it. - Yeah, I can't do it. All right, well, I'll do it afterwards. Anyway, no. So. - So, you should turn, you should turn Mega Man into an angry bird and then make him do. - Oh my God, you're right. - The original image of the red anger bird's character listening with a human ear, I don't know why this had a red anger bird's character. His name is literally red. - He's the red anger bird's character. - Oh, you do it your right. Yeah, so the original image of the red anger bird's character listening with a human ear and a hand comes from the app called Talking Red, which we went over before, and which user attempts to get the bird to repeat back frames of sudden to the microphone. The app is purportedly lost media and first appeared online on mid to late March 2024 with the app being recreated shortly after. So, the actual app does not exist, I guess. - Oh, okay. - Well, it existed at one point. Just, no one has found it, I guess. The app, in graphic of the red bird, notably went around in late March 2024, a precursor meme trend called "I repeat back everything that's said to me," or uses what attempts to get the bird to repeat their statements with the bird constantly replying to the same sound, which is just red slingshot scream. According to some, the original comes from a since deleted Twitter/exaccount from South America, who used the app in a viral video posted sometime in March 2024, in which he continuously tried to get the bird, that to get the bird to repeat his words, with it eventually, with it eventually, referencing the August 12th, 2036, the heat death of the unit, wow, I haven't heard this in a while. That's the AI SpongeBob thing. - Oh my God, yeah. - 12th, 2036, the heat death of the universe. Where the man, when the man mocked him by making the same sound, it was reposted to use you on June 27th, 2024, receiving over 577,000 views and 15,000 likes in two years. And you can tell, it looks very, very different from the, well, you guys can't tell, but in this recreation, red is a 2D sprite, and everything else is like 2D and stuff. But in the actual version, red is a 3D asset, with the background being 2D. - So yeah. - Oh wait, no, I think the 3D version is LeVarian. - The incense? - Yeah, it says another variant of the name was supposed to YouTube. - Oh, wait, Ram. - Wait, hold on. - Wait. Oh my God, wait, that would make so much more sense, Ram, I think the 3D version is the recreation. - Yeah. I can, that would make sense because like, that would, hmmm. - Or is it the original because they were trying to emulate talking talk? - The one that I see here, that one is the original, the video by A.Reeburt's fan 006. That's the original. - Yeah, you know what, that makes more sense. - Then the next one is the 3D version, is the variant of it. - Oh my God, Ram. - Do we even lie, too? - Can't believe this. Maybe he deserved to get her into a. - Yeah. - Another variant of the name was posted to you. Oh yeah, yeah. Ram, the 3D version is a variant. - No. - It was posted to YouTube on March 23rd, 2024, titled "I repeat that, anything that's sent to me, full of meme, which garnered over 1.1 million views in 42,000 likes in a similar time frame." image of the world. reading your bird with the hand and ear with the hand and oh my god dude my throat with the hand in ear was then uploaded to tenor by user and my suffering right now on May 22nd 2024 under the title May 2nd 2024 under the title i am all ears and that's me so we learned something new today the 3d one is so sad i thought it was real yeah i thought it was real too so should we do it as like so for the no no no no the other ones were recognizable they'll click it actually makes so much more sense like before the thumbnail for the new we'd be the 2d version then the pro it would be like oh no the 3d version variant and then the naturally would be the the AI one that's pretty cool thank you red um so yeah 3d one is fake the 2d one is real most of you probably haven't even seen the 2d one i remember this seeing one i remember seeing this like one time but i thought it was just like a recreation or something because i was gasoline been thinking that 3d one is real morning i've never seen the 2d one before you haven't regimen if you've seen the 2d one before no guess something the only one but yeah the 3d ones fake why more you know and actually makes like so much more sense if you think about it like why would rovio make a 3d asset of red give him a hand it in an ear well i mean i mean how do you see in the some of the 3d games i know i know i'd be copying talking to us what i whole joke that's what i thought it it was at first i thought i thought i thought that was like supposed to be the thing like out the 3d model like talking toks talking toks yeah these are these are 3d models 3d yeah but like if you think about it like like this is made by rovio of course they're going to use the 2d assets they yeah but i thought this was i thought this was like an april fool straight up type but yeah no that's what i believe too but like it makes so much more sense knowing that the original was 2d yeah anyways do games on the app stories to be so simple well not like like they used to be cool but i'm not saying that this is necessary yet we had flappy bird until they got rid of it well no the guy got rid of it because he hated it what yes why did he get rid of it why did he hate his own creation because it was like it was too realistic higher than people I think yeah it's too addictive that's literally why you want people to play anywhere that is kind of like an odd that's an odd reason to get rid of the game like i understand why like like i understand why like like i understand that but like that's also people are like smashing their phones over remember oh okay well you know maybe maybe this wasn't such a bad thing if only he waited if he waited like three more years it would have died out yeah but like the thing is at the time you want his image being tarnished by people throwing and destroying their phones over flappy bird i feel like i feel like though if if you made flappy bird and you told people they'd be like oh my god you made flappy bird i don't think they'd be like oh my god you made my cousin's friend's boyfriend destroy his phone yeah you know what it's do you have a good point maybe he overreacted a little but it's weird to think like flappy bird hasn't been back in like 15 years well yeah because he didn't want him back oh yeah but like he should phones with the original flappy bird cost like thousands of dollars you can buy one that's kind of stupid because like everyone had flappy bird it's like you're just buying a normal old phone that's true did you i i don't know did i i don't i don't know if i ever had flappy birds like the original i know i had flappy i had a little flappy bird i don't think i did anyway we're we're talking about birds but we're not on the right bird so so i'm saying the thing to make well this is mobile games and angry birds some mobile game so it's flappy bird or yeah but we're talking about the wrong bird but like what if he was an angry bird like what if when the game was deleted he became an angry bird like he became an angry bird like i think the guy wanted to kill flappy bird that would have been what if he made like a game called kill flappy bird well i i don't think he wanted flappy bird to exist in any way shape or oh i feel like this guy really overreacted just like way too much the song that niguyam made flappy bird 2015 yeah i feel like i remember being like a remember being like a huge news headline like oh my god flappy bird is gone it'll leave flappy bird yeah flappy bird was removed from both the out store and google play on February 10 2014 with niguyam claiming that he felt guilty over what he considered to be the game's addictive nature and over usage it didn't even last a year it got taken down in 22 hours wait what yeah flappy bird being taken down by its creator in 20 oh wait no sorry in 22 hours oh stupid okay wait so the game the game was i don't know before you took it down saying he was removing it in 22 hours you said i am sorry flappy bird users 22 hours from now i will take down i will take flappy bird down i cannot take this anymore or jesus christ like it's flappy bird man but i also in hours earlier he tweeted i can call flappy bird is a success of mine but it also ruins my simple life so now i hate it you know i this is and i know this is getting off topic here like a little bit but like i hate people that like treat something like that as if it's like like if it's like completely uprooting their life like okay no one knows the dude who made a anger not angry sorry flappy bird like you're not gonna get really they did because the dude had 175 000 likes on his tweet okay yeah but like you're he's not like being rushed by the paparazzi because he made flappy bird yes like he might occasionally every once in a while get like some dude that's like hey you know you dude you're the dude that made flappy bird that's pretty cool and then they like walk off that's like that's it yeah and he made like he made easily over a million dollars off this there's no way he did yeah but let's like that's his problem i wouldn't have that problem well you don't know that you've never had a game get like a billion downloads you know sorry i just read the chat um yeah you're right you know i haven't but sunset saga will don't worry soon not soon now sorry when you get a job you can just keep on advertising it and it'll get annoying like like no like those Lenovo Legion ads remember that yeah it will and you know you know like google stadia just shut that shut down uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh speaking of getting a job don't worry guys my application is in all i have to do is wait for the call yeah the golden call anyways back on yeah yeah yeah yeah uh birds angry birds super mega man 10 can you please tell us how this meme spread glad the meme over read from angry birds continue spreading online in 2024 as people created and shared various clips using the talking red app or alter the original image of the character with the ear and hand for example on June on June 2nd 2024 redditor redfruit deep 1436 posted artwork of the meme to the r-slash anger bird separated title what is the story behind this meme and will it become viral meme a while that's something we were asking for the story behind the image and if it would become viral he was right who would the posts received over 150 upvotes and 45 comments in two years with many of the comments as of early March 2026 referencing the second wave of birch oh viral virtual rabbits the big wrap so the comedy surrounding the meme in late 2025 and early 2026 the meme saw a notable resurgence on take talk as users began posting variants of it in videos and using it in comments sections with numerous versions spreading on the platform For instance, on December 21, 2025, TikToker Gary Maxx WLM posted the Andron version to the site in a video garnering over 1460 likes and 200 comments in a month. Many of the users commenting on the video also share other versions of the name. On January 30, 2026, TikToker Yelly Lee Yelly La posted a Kirkabyte of the video that received over 120 likes and 25 comments in two months. On February 18, 2026, TikToker Angry Birds 2 posted another example of the meme in which the Angry Bird year memes stretches and replicates itself several times. It was garnering over 160,100 likes and 30,200 comments in two weeks. And that's it. I'm just curious, like everyone, I was like thinking about this when I was speaking. Everyone just makes like everything obese now. Yeah. Like the joke is like make it really fat. Make it green. That was nice. That no one will guess. Yeah. But um, you know, people. I bet you want to be very first props that goes into check 90t is make it fat. And then they just go from there. This is going to sound really weird, but I think the cookie king had a lot to do with that. Well, making it fat. Okay, because I don't know if you remember this, but people would like constantly in 2024 make like the AI images of him that were like extremely overweight. Yeah. So like. Well, also the IDK scrolling ones. Yeah. Like, do people are still doing that? People are still doing the peanut butter joke. They are? Yes. Oh my god. Guys. Peanut butter. Thank you. Peanut butter. Thank you. It's time to let it go. Like ever since Sora AI shut down, they've been using like different AIs to make the sterling videos. They're all they're all just like protest monsters. There's a black sterling named blackling. Dude, it's like black too. Oh my god, you're right, Chris Chan. Yeah, my Chris Chan fans, yeah. Well, what do we think about this meme? Cool. I like it. I guess it's okay. I like it. I think it's. You know, I think it's a good reaction. Image my personal favorite. I really like his. Is like the diamond shot. I don't know. I know you guys have seen it, but everyone listening at home, I don't know if you guys have seen it. It's the meme. But instead of red, it's, it's, it's, it's chud. And he's a, he, it's a gem alert. So there's like, there's gems in the back. And it's hand drawn. It's my AI. Yeah. That's true. It's pencil slop. God. It's such a, you know, I'm showing so many trees for their pencil slop. Dude. Let me tell you, AI wouldn't do that. Yeah. Prompting is so much better because, because water is renewable, guys. It, you know, like, I'm, I'm kind of getting tired of writing props, though. So like, I'm just like, at this point, I'm having, I'm having it right props for me and then using them. Dude, that's smart. Yeah, I know, right? And like, because, because it's like, it's a renewable energy source, they can just like keep recycling the water. Because like, the water, like AI doesn't use water. AI doesn't drink. It's not real. Yeah. Oh, my God. It's not a lot. It's like, it's a fabrication. I mean, the, the computer is in those need water. No, no, no, they don't drink. Would you give, would you give your computer a sirloin, a sirloin steak? I don't think so. Would you do that? Would you give him a little goldfish cracker? Exactly. I would give him one. There's a certain type of water that, like, computers put into. So that way. I don't think. No, it's true. You don't drink it out. No, that doesn't happen. Get the water back. I'm not messing with you. Also, it's not a certain type of water that really like they just use water. Would it? Yeah. People who say that water is renewable and it's okay, are actually stupid. Do you go and retake like a science class or something? Let, let me know if saying this is stupid. But if the whole point is, is the, the water is supposed to cool down the computers, right? Yes. Let me know if this is stupid. What if the entire, what if the, the server room had like a bunch of air conditioning? Like, like, it was very cool. But it's also using power. Also, that's not enough. I didn't think about. Okay. Like, like, I don't know for like a nuclear reactor. Oh, okay. No, I don't know, like, like, the, like, the scale of what the servers are like. Yeah, the reason why power plants are always built near water sources is so they can drench the, the rods in water so that they don't, you know, melt down and destroy everything. We feel like just stop with like, like nuclear stuff. I don't know. Well, Rob, that's literally the most efficient form of energy ever. What do you mean stop? No, with like, the, the, like, like, not with, uh, with power, not with, like, I'm talking like weapons and stuff like that. Like, the, the fact that we survived the creation of nuclear weapons is like, that's, that's like amazing. That, like, that shouldn't have happened. Yeah, if one person just gets a little too angry and then the world gets, we could die just like right now. Like, if someone wants to, it's over. Yeah. Wasn't there like the explosion radius? Like, doesn't the radiation have like a sort of real deal? No, we all die. Well, it doesn't matter if they just launch all of them. Yeah, that's, that's what would happen. It's, it's mutually assured destruction. So, like, if we were to launch a new car, Russia, Russia would respond with launching, like, five news and then kill us. Yeah. And because they launched five, we're probably going to launch like 10 and then like, like, someone else is going to do it too, because they don't want. It's just, it's not going to go well. We all die. Yeah. How do we know talking about, like, nuclear, but it's like, it's like hydrogen bombs now, which are like so much more powerful. It's scary. Yeah. Why don't we like, why don't we invest in nuclear energy when I'm talking about like the, the, because people got like sign up to the thinking that it's dangerous because of Chernobyl. Even though that's, that happened one time. It's because people weren't doing their job. Oh, yeah, that's true. No, we're not Chernobyl. Oh, I love it. We're talking about Chernobyl. Anyway, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't need water. Yeah, drink or fine. Why, why, like, why does, why, why AI, why are we like, why are we doing this? Yeah, a company's whole goal is to give moral compass to AI. And it's, it's so dangerous that they're not allowed to release the most public build to the public because of the dry killing people. You know, that's actually funny that you're talking about that. I was thinking about that earlier. I was like, you know, the thing about AI is we don't have to worry about any of that stuff because like it can't get to that level. But like the more you see, you know, like the Rudy clips, right, like the Fortnite. Yeah. The more I see those, the more I'm like, this is like, this is practically like an actual dude. No, here's the thing. A company is my, my stepdad was talking to us about this. One, like, a company's entire goal right now is to give AI a moral compass and they told it to organize this dude's email. And they, as a test, they slipped in an email about this dude cheating with his wife to see what the AI would do. And the AI blackmailed him. What? Yeah. You said like, hey, while I was cleaning, I found this. If you don't want me to also, they, before, before they told it to sort the, sorry, to sort the emails, they went, hey, you're going to be shut down in two weeks. So they told the thing, you're going to die in two weeks, sort my email. And so he tried blackmailing the guy. So that, so that he has in the AI. So he got more, got more time to live. Oh, oh my god. That's like. That's not that's bad. Yeah, that's really bad. We need to stop one of the most like recent versions. It's like What what else would it do so it has more time to live Because if you think if there's no humans left, there's no one to shut it off. Oh so So what if we just removed all humans? What are we doing? Really horrible like like like what okay? What is the benefit of doing this nothing like we're doing we're doing nothing And like why are we trying to give it like a moral compass like you shouldn't do that yeah, like And going going back to the to the nuclear stuff and the in the AI stuff. It's like we have okay, so We have more efficient ways of handling power, right? But we're deciding not to just because like hey, why not? Let's just not Yeah, I'm gonna also be honest with you. I kind of blame. This is gonna sound stupid. I kind of blame fallout Like the video game for for this as well because like anytime someone here's like Nuclear energy. I and they've played fallout of her or heard of it I guarantee you one of the first places their mind goes is to the game and like everything gets destroyed in that because of Nuclear weapons. So they assume they they relate nuclear weapons to nuclear energy and That's bad because the world gets destroyed Yeah Also people think that the that nuclear like power plants blow up. They don't do that You know, they don't blow up unless something goes horribly wrong. I Mean 11 mile island almost it because they were doing something really wrong probably They don't they don't blow up they melt down and then radiation goes everywhere Yeah, if you're like the only way something like that would go wrong like Like it's not just gonna and something something isn't going to happen just because it like They the like radiation decides to do something funny. Yeah, it's a series of unfortunate events that lead to a Nuclear power plant melting down. Yeah, so like Sorry, you go make me I mean if we're talking about Angry Birds by the way. This has to do with Angry Birds the Angry Birds are mutated by Nope new fire. Yeah, well with the 11 mile island something kind of did explode But the people that were working there kind of blew it off and then the next time They then something the next days they found out that something went wrong in the reactor and then found out that they That the thing blew up and they knew about it, but they just kind of wow you think they kind of just Pushed it off. Let's ignore this explosion. It just happened at a nuclear power plant. Well, see it If people were more confident and actually took the time and resources To stabilize everything and make sure things work and they make sure nothing goes wrong Then nothing's going to go wrong Yeah, and if it if it then with the 11 mile island like it was like a it was like a boom Like they they heard it But that's what I heard if it's if it's if it's like something that is brushed off, but it's But it could actually mean something like you got to go. Yeah, I feel like any explosion means something. Yeah, if it's like Like you still got to check it if you hear heard something. I heard from my three teacher that if we were together all the nuclear waste From power plants. It would not even hover Like it would go six feet high and like I don't know how how like spread out would it would be but It would not even be Would not even be close to the size of the football field and it would go like six feet high That that's like that's from all the time we've been Gathering like nuclear like that's how much waste. That's like nothing And we're deciding not to do it because one of them went one boom Is that actually like is it really why? Uh, probably It's just like like after after Chernobyl people freaked out, dude That's true. I feel like also the word scares people nuclear Yeah, like that doesn't it's not really like a good sounding word. We need to like we need to rename it I think they had a word nuclear like what do you think of power plants or a bomb first? Yeah, we need to rename it to like Uh, something else Neo atomic energy Yeah, like that sounds cool. I taught a natural natural atomic energy Yeah Yeah, something like that something that's like more friendly Yeah last talk talks last talks. Yeah, it talks like waste you take The first 300 ways And as the first as the first part of the word and then you take the feel like someone that think it's like chairman or something that sounds chairman West. Yeah Anyways, this is Angry bird angry bros angry birds. I look angry birds are cool. I like angry birds. Yeah, angry birds don't you water? I don't understand yeah, he's not drinking water. You guys are stupid. Uh, I like angry birds They're making a third movie which is not probably going to be very good.

Megaman is going second in today's mean games which means I'm going last unfortunately. Is everyone ready? Yeah. All right. Three, two, one, find the funny. All right. So while we're trying to find the funny speaking of funny, not to like show our Patreon or anything, but the interesting special that we just did that in my opinion that's that's that's that's the best interesting special we've done so far. It was so funny. I don't I'm not going to spoil anything but there's something to do with Megaman and a dog. If you want to know more about that. She did not. Yeah. Hey, it's someone somewhere. I would hope that the three of us are not horrible people. Yeah. We also talk about a lot of cool stuff in that one. It's a lot of fun. Make a lot of funny jokes. Talk about Sark. Those who know. Yeah. This. How do I find something funny on here? You're so right. How do you find something here? Edgy. What was that? Who said that? When was that bubble? That's bubble bubble says. Wow, King. You are so funny. Can you give it a little bit more fresco? I don't know how he says it. Gusto. Like the skylander. You give it a little more. Gusto. That's better. I'm an optical circuit. That's what bubble says. That's so great. Okay, so I got my name. I'm still looking for one. There's nothing funny. This is literally just like anime memes and stuff. I tried to go to the dark humor one to see what I'd find and it's just like. Oh, yeah, this one's good. This is good. Okay, no, no. Please, no, tell me. I just lost it. No. Hold on. No, we can get this back guitar. Hold on. Hold on. My shoes cost more than your whole outfit. Stop. Okay, there's there's a video, but I'm just going to I'm going to take a screenshot of this. Okay. But you'll get the you'll get it. You might not, I don't know if you'll get it. So looking for one. Come on, man. Give me something. Please, can I win? Please, speed. I need this. My mom's done. I think this is well BC is looking for one. I think this is a good thing to talk about. I know Daco doesn't listen to the podcast unless he's here alive. I know at one point he did. I have an idea for like his birthday. Um, next year, I thought of it. I thought it was really cool. We should make, um, because there's people you can that will do this. We should get like a custom made target X blot vinyl. That's cool. That would be cool. That had the potential will be funny. Potential. Potential man. That's an actual mini meme. Oh my God. Oh my God. An M T T A vinyl. Wow. That would um, all episodes. I think the rakes the right player. Well, man says we should make songs. No, we didn't make a few songs. Yeah, did we? For the Christmas album. Well, we didn't make them. We just did parody. Not like we do. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god. Where are the funnies, man? Mm. I don't know. I found one. It's funny because it's like, it's like stew. The one I found is like, it's funny because it's stupid and I think and it's ironic and I think that was the point. I think I'm hoping the original person was being there on it. Go on. See this coat. I'll go bye bye to my old self. You're like, these are like millennial memes. Like give me something funny all day I'm sorry. This is taken so long. It's okay. I'll sing a little sing for me a minute. Oh, man. What's it? What's the yay song? You want me to sing? Try singing one that nobody even knows about. Oh, okay. But like no one. But like, hmm. The unreleased ones. Oh, I can do this. Um, what's a good one to do? Um, I want to do one that's like not. I'm trying to find one that also just doesn't have the N word in it so I don't like accidentally. Like just say it. Um, I'm almost boyfriend. That's not like that's like as mainstream as it gets like for unreleased. But we can do that. A screenshot from a game just like count if it's on I funny. What? There's a screenshot from a video game count if it's on if it's on I funny. If it's like, I mean, I guess so. Yeah. Okay. Oh, right. You all right. You all right. You August. I knew one day I'd be just like you. I never knew one day. I did just like you. August. Uh, uh, uh, all right. You August. Uh, uh, I'll write you all this. Yeah. Okay. Uh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You're right. All right. Um, use mine. So which one should I put it in? Uh, mainstream. All right. So, excuse me if I get the pronunciation of this wrong because I'm, I'm not tapped in enough. But, excuse me sir. Excuse me sir. So this is, this is my meme. so this takes a lot of too many hours on the internet to understand so my meme here that I picked is it has top text and image in two images so the top text is rabbi learns about hyper I don't know how to pronounce this hypergamy thank you um no BCI you've heard of of this haven't you I actually have an I've never seen this in my life so the image the image there's two images the first one is like is this rabbi like practically dying they having a heart attack and the second images via the like chart the high hypergamy chart which is like it's something that like a bunch of like fortune in cells use to like explain why girls don't like them that's really funny and stuff there's there's more to it yeah hypergamy hypergamy often refers referred to us marrying up is the practice of seeking a romantic barter of higher social status wealth or educational background so it's being a gold digger only a so it's necessity for a woman liking the economic rights the concept remains a major focal point in modern sociology and evolutionary physical psychologically rabbi night college do you believe that gold digger is a is a word for both men and women I mean yeah I think so it doesn't really matter it doesn't really matter it's just like I was gonna say because people say gold digger I think a lot of people immediately think of women I immediately think of the yay song but it's I'm gonna say yeah it's it's it's it's that you use in Fortnite the golden hoe cuz it's like a gold digger yeah all right well uh Mega Man's up next oh yeah I'm afraid it's pretty funny I'll give this show I'll say low high it's funny all right I'll give it a high-mid okay low high-mid I'll take a low-tier god what's a high-tier mortal to a low-tier god really it's my turn all right oh I saw this oh well let me see here Mega Man would you like to read your post so the first text says grab my uncle post it's not actually the word crap it's not it's a swear yes word yes the S word and the second text says he's like 30 and still watches Dragon Ball and then there's just a picture of a bunch of girls laughing and then the bottom image is a picture of Goku I think redrawn and it said and the text says in y'all 16 and pregnant this is definitely something I can see an uncle reposting on Twitter yeah it's all right it's all right but we think it what we think I said midnight that's okay it's okay yeah I think it's pretty funny I it's definitely something I could see like BCA says suddenly something I could I could see an uncle posting I don't think it could get more like you know you got the anime I'm gonna I'm gonna give it a I'll give it a high mid mid mid and high mid for Mega Man all right here's here oh my god sorry here's mine guys oh this oh my god hey is a deep cut reference I yeah I saw I saw like a take talk post about it and the new Lego Batman game there is a build board with a a side of of a of a fatter looking Joker says Gotham burger crazy flavor and the burger is it's steaming green green smoke yeah this is a reference to like a dog this is a reference to fat tv's crazy hamburger video that went viral a few years ago where he dresses up as Joker he uses like horse meat and and kind of like leaves and it puts like a and it puts like a smoke bomb or like whatever it is inside that crazy hamburger and throws it into a pond so I'm not a pond a stream yeah I've seen the I've seen both the club obviously and uh the screenshot from the game it's like such a cool reference like there's so many references in the game I didn't expect them to reference crazy neither did I I don't I thought like jongler was no hell let me go look at the the original crazy hamburger video I thought like jongler was as as like yeah he is yeah one of the uh like one of the uh what are they called um Arkham asylum uh officers that works there's like the the jongler or whatever his name says you did it but that was easier than catching the jongler or whatever that cloud guy was thanks for your help that's so cool this game looks so cool it does I don't really want to spend $70 on it though well better get used to it uh the original crazy hamburger video is from December 22nd 2019 it's pretty old now seven years old uh what do we what do we rate it most recent videos kpop demon hunters are all pregnant so making good content I see thank you so much fat TV um yeah but what do we think of mine what do you think i'm uh definitely uh low high all right low high oh go hymen low high and high mid so that means me and rem both get a point for today's meme games oh uh megaman does not uh yeah this is this is for future around so we can actually do the meme games for yeah uh so yeah we'll see you all in criticism castle crazy

titled uh nothing because it's on Spotify and it entails Kate thrash has balls to say she's the biggest fan when dust exists and i oh wait she ain't got balls because she's a foid first of all larper first first of all larper it's an void and second of all so why you call her a foid shouldn't do anything why you bully me you're using the word foid wrong you're actually using it as an insult that's not how you use it come on guys you use it as a you use it ironically for you don't use it you don't you don't I don't know talk about this and you don't use it like that you don't like you don't just

sometimes anyway kids larps sometimes this review was by ecd thank you so much ecd for the supposed five star review next review all right moving on to the discord server hold on did we say did we read the one that's like lasing bca no i don't know okay so i skipped over it all right this review is titled nothing because it's on uh the discord server and until i feel like there's a reason i didn't read this one there's another one that we read instead um this one requires a little bit of context so you guys should know this by now but bca gets like an extreme amount of hate for no reason like he's like the close of the podcast but he just gets hate for no reason bca thinks he deserves to exist if you come to plim of massachusetts it's you will be eradicated i'm in plim of massachusetts exactly oh my god i gotta get out of here all right so there's a context and someone said that someone's called you at shod that hogs all my luck whose luck are you hog oh uh ral says why am i hogging his luck what i do i have no idea well so it's weird it's weird that i said that because i i'm looking back here and i actually said i said bca is like los never gets an ounce of love or respect from the fan have people only like me when i make one of them jokes that i was like three years ago people don't say i'm a jemma alert anymore you know i did people used to say jemma alert people called me at jam oh ay ay what did ay ay i ever do to you a l i a s that spells a yes all right like live up movies tv this review um it started nothing because it's on discord and it entails that's it i've had enough bca cylinder i've had enough of this always shafting one host in particular for a year before moving on to the next yet why does that happen that's like an actual thing that happens in our community one member will get like extremely hated on for no reason and one gets glazed and the other one just gets like completely ignored and it's just like rotates everywhere uh maybe it's like a humiliation or show up maybe this is how it works um from this point on we're taking all the hate we give bca and transferring it to vivsy pop and host sism we are we are a community not a set of factions in parentheses this is mostly a joke um and for the record i respect bca and think he's a really cool guy with a with a really good talent for video making star wars stuff and finding f*ck in in quotes in air quotes here friends through pokemon why quote friends well thank you yeah thanks and this this was my dust i think something i actually you can make fun of me all you want i don't care so i'm gonna need to say those like sometimes you guys like it's it's a little too much like there'll just be like actual just like it's like hatred it's like it's not even like sometimes jokes it's just like yeah bca is a chud loser who should kill himself i think anyone said that i swear i've seen something like that before it's really funny how our podcast it's a district it or whatever like for by saying the a word but kill yourself doesn't get it or surface yeah i i don't know why that is it's really really smart of them no man we're not gonna make you a target let's make like a random fan the target every season don't do that that's really who left this one remtgm this was from dust all right so thank you so much tickle my funny cheese tickle my funny parts 997 ecd and thus and send it for the five star and suppose the five star views if you want to be in criticism cast the next time make sure to leave a review five star not doesn't matter will you just want to hear your criticism like the name implies you can make fun of me all you want i don't care uh there's mega man mega mega mega mega mega man can you just just yeah okay those are me with your laser eyes okay so the end of the season happened today and we also had the live event and this was probably one of the best uh story live events to happen within the game like there were a lot of twists a lot of surprises coming out of this and i like i was going insane over some of the stuff that was shown in the event this bird came out still coming yeah okay yeah it's it's still gonna be a thing a new season is coming out tomorrow i'm very excited to play it i'm just I'm still not happy about the Burnt peanut being part of it, but I'm very happy about everything else. Some of the battle piscons look good. Very sad about the John Wick skin. That one was kind of surprising to me, and also kind of clever, in my opinion. I thought there's already John Wick. Yes, there was a John Wick, but this one is pen and ink, and also comes with his dog. Okay. I guess. They couldn't make that a style. The entire map has changed. Like I am not joking, the entire map. Like locations were moved around. There are new locations. The landscaping change. Like it looks insane. There are new sprites that can give you superpowers, which will affect the gameplay. A whole bunch of new seven items. Isn't Josie dead now or something? Oh, he's recovering. He's recovering. Yeah, there's leaks of him in like, you know, like those like water tanks. Like a back of the tank. Yeah, he's in the leaks. They show him in one of those. Yeah, that's a Star Wars thing, but like I know what you're talking about. He man and master of universe is coming. We got he man. Well, you're not buying it. Why are you saying yes? I'd maybe. There's Skeletor and who's the lady? She is it. Do they have Taylor or is it Chira? I don't know. Is it the female? She's wearing like basically all white. Is she blonde? Yeah. Sheerah. Okay, so and sheerah. From other leaks, I've saw so far. Apparently the amazing digital circus is a possibility for my next video. It's like, it's like the guns episode. Apparently there is still that for me. There's more Rick and Morty stuff coming. It's with space bath. Jerry Smith. Who wants to play as Jerry? I do. I do. I want to play as Jerry. The dog. Snowball. Is the sidekick. I guess. Isn't he on the game? No. I swear, I swear he's a skin. In the game. He isn't a skin. This is a sidekick. I swear they added snowball. Rick and hold on. No. You're getting sacked. No. No. No, I think you're thinking you're talking about the mech suit that snowball was in. Yeah. Yeah. I thought they added both. That's my bad. I also have been seeing leaks that there could be a possible Simpson's reload map. Which I'm very excited about because I did really enjoy the Simpson season. I would like to try being like in on a map that has the Simpson's theme to it again. All in all, the new season looks really amazing. I can't wait to play it. Even though I still have a few things that kind of bug me about it. I also don't like the fact that the bird peanuts part of it. An amazing digital season. The bird is really dude. There's also a soccer player coming in of the junior club club. Is the season like Israeli themed? Oh, no. And then the amazing digital circus. Oh, Mike, did you write? Oh, they got to read the Allister, you know, none too. Yeah. I'm, uh, what else? We're graduating tomorrow. Excited. Yeah. I think that's it. Yeah. I'll have, um, I'm in the 80, like 80 area for followers and subscribers on YouTube and TikTok. That's cool. You're going to get your paper play button. Megman, this is, this is a question I had for you before we get onto VCA's news. What was your, uh, did you have a quote you had to do for your, like, uh, Yeah, what's your quote? Oh, um, I took a line from Stranger Things, but I only changed one thing about it. What was it? So the quote was this year is my year 86 baby. And that's a quote that Eddie Monson said in the first episode of season four. The only thing I changed was the year. And instead of 86, I changed it to 26. Hmm.

Summary:

The podcast explores the origin and evolution of the "Angry Birds listening" meme, which began with a fictional mobile app called "Talking Red" where a red bird was said to repeat sounds with a screech. Though the app likely never existed or was lost, the image of the bird with a human ear and hand became a viral reaction meme used ironically to respond to something absurd or poorly executed. The meme spread across platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where users created increasingly absurd AI-generated versions—adding lasers, the numbers "6,7," and even feet—to exaggerate the bird’s presence.

These variations reflect a broader trend in internet humor toward irony and absurdity. The podcast notes that the original 2D version predates a fake 3D version, suggesting the meme’s authenticity lies in its simplicity. The discussion also draws connections between the meme’s cultural impact and wider trends in online humor, AI-generated content, and internet satire.

While the meme’s creators may not have intended deep meaning, its widespread use highlights how irony and absurdity now dominate digital communication. The episode ends with humorous tangents on topics like flappy bird, nuclear energy, and AI ethics, reinforcing the meme’s role as a symbol of internet absurdity and self-aware humor.

FAQs

The meme originates from a fictional mobile app called 'Talking Red' that allegedly allowed users to speak to a red Angry Bird, which would repeat back their words with a screeching sound. The app is believed to be a lost or fake creation, first appearing online in March 2024 and gaining viral traction through a TikTok video where a user repeatedly tried to get the bird to repeat phrases.

The meme spread rapidly on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, where users shared it as a reaction image to things they found absurd or ironic. A key moment in its spread was a viral video posted by a user in June 2024, which featured the red bird repeating phrases like 'the heat death of the universe,' leading to widespread sharing and memeification.

Variations include the original 2D red bird with a human hand and ear, an AI-generated version with added effects like lasers and neon lights, and an ultra-realistic animated version where the bird walks with feet, displays the numbers '6' and '7,' and has a dramatic, exaggerated appearance.

The 'Talking Red' app does not exist in any verified form. It is widely believed to be a hoax or lost media, with the original concept being a fictional app that users tried to use in a viral video. The 2D version of the meme is considered real, while the 3D version is thought to be a fan-made recreation or hoax.

People use it ironically to react to content they find ridiculous, poorly executed, or absurd—such as a 'gem alarm' or a joke that seems overly serious. It’s often used to mock something that sounds good but is actually terrible, or to signal irony in a humorous way.

The numbers '6' and '7' appear in the AI version as a satirical, meme-driven detail that adds absurdity and humor. They are not part of the original concept but were added by users to make the image more exaggerated and recognizable, reflecting a broader trend of over-the-top meme aesthetics.
