Brandon “Young Busco” Moore, the creator of the “What are those?” meme, reportedly died on Monday. To honor him, we compiled the best of his contribution to the culture.
The phrase “What are those?” burst onto the internet in June 2015 when Moore posted a video of himself using the words to insult a police officer’s shoes, according to The Washington Post.
The line spread like wildfire across Vine (R.I.P.) and made it all the way to Wakanda.
Without further ado, here our favorite “What are those?" moments:
1. Shuri insulting T'Challa's royal sandals
2. Family Guy's take on the meme
3. Michael Jordan being introduced to the meme
4. Of course, this catchy song
5. Barney, from us to you: This. Ain't. It.
6. A SpongeBob reminder that being underwater doesn't protect you from a roast
7. A father using the meme to teach his son about life
8. Confused granny not understanding what the hell is happening
9. This classic, once, twice, three times a joanin'
10. Bruh upping the ante by turning on a whole stove
11. This one, which always makes us wonder, where did he go?
12. Turning the meme on its head? Well played.
13. And finally, the time the meme literally made someone fall out. What if the other boy didn't catch him?
