🙂 IT’S WEDNESDAY, MY DUDES! 🙂
You’ve probably seen the frog. But where did this weird Wednesday tradition come from?
👨💻 2014 — Tumblr
Tumblr user kidpix2 posted a picture of a very strange-looking Budgett’s frog with the simple caption “Wednesday.” The post took off, eventually getting 60,000+ notes.
👨💻 2015 — Vine
Viner JimmyHere turned the phrase into a legendary six-second video: “It is Wednesday, my dudes” followed by an attempt to imitate the frog’s bizarre scream. The Vine received more than 15 million loops and inspired over 140 variations.
👨💻 2017–2018 — YouTube
The meme kept evolving. YouTuber ZimoNitrome started posting a new “Wednesday My Dudes” video every Wednesday — and kept the tradition going for a whole year!
🧑🎓 Why is this meme important?
It’s a great example of how internet culture actually works. A meme doesn't necessarily come from one person or one platform. Someone creates an image, someone else adds a joke, another person turns it into a video and eventually thousands of people make their own versions.
And today it really is Wednesday, my dudes! 🥰
