Pepe: The Frog that Broke the Internet (2017) Documentary Short [10:07]
I don't know why, this this was fascinating. It's a docu short on Pepe the Frog.
Since Pepe the Frog emerged on the internet in 2005, his personality has shifted and evolved.
It's time to take on one of the Internet's most classic memes: Pepe the Frog. Is he the internet's most loveable creation, or its worst symbol of hate? Pepe the Frog was first posted to Gaia Online as "Feels Good Man", and evolved from there becoming "Feels Bad Man", "Sad Pepe", "Angry Pepe", and the list only expands from there.
Around 2016, Pepe's image began to shift, and in 2017, Matt Furie, the original creator of Pepe the Frog, killed his creation in the now infamous comic released on National Free Comic Day.
Because of the controversy surrounding Pepe the Frog, many fans are left at odds, unsure of how to perceive the once beloved frog. What do you think? Is Pepe the Frog just a meme, or a hate symbol?
