Why does everyone find the "hawk tuah" meme funny? It's probably one of the lamest, most forced memes I've heard in a while.

Honestly I think it's one of those things where the sheer stupidity of it is half of what sustains it.

It's literally just a regional way of mimicking the sound of spitting on something, but for some reason it got enough people to snort in amusement to become self sustaining meme material.

Plus the fact that it's blunt talk about sex stuff makes teenagers feel edgy for posting it.

Not to mention the girl herself has done a good job of milking these 15 minutes of fame for all they are worth. I probably would have forgotten about her already if I didn’t keep seeing her face on podcasts and news shows.

Her most recent attempt at launching her own podcast was pretty lackluster though, so maybe we are finally reaching the end of the arc.

Waiting patiently for a butt stuff girl to appear on the scene next.

At this point, I feel like the meme hate is what keeps it going. Trying to get shock value and some kind of rise out of the audience.

The first few times were funny. I do not understand why this meme was picked to go viral.

I actually didn't know it was off of one person.

Little out of touch but I think that's just A OK.

It's not that it was funny, it's that they liked her and were surprised that she said what she said.
