i make memes now:
Update: now with image descriptions courtesy of @better-image-descriptions ! TLDR at the end
So basically i was going to make a post explaining eeby deeby, but then I was doing Meme Research and discovered that my previous claim that the elevator eeby deeby meme and the “your dick cold” eeby deeby meme are unrelated is actually false!
So, if you look up eeby deeby you will be taken to this Know Your Meme page, which may confuse you more, and seems completely unrelated. basically the eeby deeby meme documented here was someone editing a comic panel to make a joke about robot penises? the “eeby deeby” here is supposed to be like, robot noises or something.
[Image description: An edited comic panel of a man and a robot. The man says, “Your dick cold.” The robot, from behind him says, “Eeby deeby”. /End ID]
EDIT: it turns out this is a comic of Buck Rogers, which had a TV show in the 70s. The robot here, Twiki, apparently makes an “eeby deeby” noise a lot (usually written out as “bidibidi”). I found a clip of this on youtube here. (thank you to @accumulus for this information!)
update 2/13: I think i found the original panel (put link to post here):
[image description: the same comic panel as before, but with the original dialogue. The man says “Good! Hang on tight! Here we go!”. The robot says “Where? To certain doom?”. /end ID]
The current eeby deeby meme originated from this image of a weird elevator display:
[Image description: A picture of an elevator screen saying “Eeby deeby” with an arrow pointing upward. There’s text above the image saying “Where the fuck is this thing taking me”. /End ID]
So i was like “ok these things are unrelated it’s just that they happen to contain the same nonsense phrase”.
But then I tried to find the original post of the elevator image, so I googled “where the fuck is this thing taking me” and got this tweet from 2018:
[ID: The same photo as the second, but the elevator screen says, “uwu” with an arrow pointing upward. /End ID]
This appears to have been its own meme, but I haven’t heard of it before today. Seeing as these photos are identical except for the text display, the eeby deeby image is an edit of the UwU elevator joke. Edit 2/18: There is more to the UwU elevator meme than I have here, and this photo is probably an edit as well, but this post has honestly gotten long enough already so I’m not including much about it, even though I probably should. This post has gotten to the point that several old versions are the more circulated ones (a lot of people are reblogging it without the info about Twiki) so I guess it doesn’t matter.
So I reverse image searched the eeby deeby elevator image: (sidenote: look at what happened when i did:)
[ID: A google reverse image search of the Eeby deeby elevator photo. There is text saying, “Possible related search: grunge photography aesthetic”. /End ID]
And I got some weird results but I found an important result from imgur! Note: as of when I am making this post (Feb 6 2021), the eeby deeby meme only showed up on tumblr like 5 days ago.
[ID: An Imgur post from MetaPathos from 10 days ago showing the Eeby deeby elevator photo. /End ID]
“MetaPathos… that sounds familiar…”:
[ID: A Know Your Meme article saying, “The earliest known post of the edited comic strip appeared on October 19th, 2019 in an Imgur comment by MetaPathos (shown below). However, this may not be” before cutting off. /End ID]
MetaPathos is, as far as we know, the original poster of the “your dick cold” edit.
Edit 2/18: So, I checked the Know Your Meme page and its comments again, and I saw this comment:
[ID: a screenshot of a comment on a Know Your Meme article. The comment is by user Derpy Vaz, posted on February 13, 2021. The comment reads “user onewallpaperaweek on imgur created the elevator EEBY DEEBY. it was posted on twitter and went viral”. the word twitter is a hyperlink to the twitter post. /end ID]
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know how Imgur works (as in how to properly navigate it and what the site’s culture is, I just know how one would use it to post images on a petsim forum), so I have not been able to find the original eeby deeby elevator post. I did, however, find this post, but it is not by onewallpaperaweek. It’s also newer than one MetaPathos posted, so it’s definitely not the original. I also found these two posts by MetaPathos about the spread of Eeby Deeby, so I suggest checking them out. x x.
Ok that’s cool and all but what the fuck is the eeby deeby meme on tumblr?
Good question! I don’t really know how to find out where the jokes about eeby deeby started because tumblr’s search function sucks eggs, but a reblog of what appears to be the first time eeby deeby elevator was posted on tumblr (Feb 1 2021) that combines “you are going to brazil” with eeby deeby was posted on Feb 2 2021:
[ID: A tumblr post by @the-jade-palace. Attached is an image of a person on fire falling through a fiery tube. There’s text over it saying, “You are going to eeby deeby”. /End ID] EDIT: In an earlier version of this post, I said that this was related to the superhell meme, but upon Further Research it’s most likely more closely related to “You Are Going To Brazil”. Shoutout to @can-you-maybe-chill’s tags for making me realize this wasn’t in fact the case. Update: @the-jade-palace has since confirmed that this was not a superhell joke, but in fact a “You Are Going To Brazil” joke.
I, and many others, mistook this for a reference to the superhell joke because I had not actually seen the episode or full scene, and had seen this gif posted multiple times in reference to the superhell thing. It is not, in fact, a clip from Supernatural, but a clip from the movie Spawn, which… I don’t know much about but I found the clip of this scene in this youtube video (put link here) and the movie looks rather strange. Seeing as the superhell joke is very popular (because it’s funny) and many people thought this gif was from that scene (I have a lot of people in the tags saying “wait it’s not from supernatural” in response to my first update to this post in which I clarified this), I think this may have contributed to the spread of eeby deeby and the establishment of “eeby deeby” as some sort of place.
There is also this post, which I recall as being the first time I saw eeby deeby outside of the original elevator post:
[ID: A tumblr post by @angryrivaini saying, “imagine getting jumped by a bunch of elevators and you hear one say “take his ass to eeby deeby”. /End ID]

I read an interpretation of the Confession Scene™ that said Cas thinks he’s saving Dean but Dean thinks he’s killing Cas and I haven’t slept well since
so let me get this straight…
allison hargreeves is almost murdered by her brother, and loses her ability to speak, also losing her connection to her powers. she is then ripped away from her child and sent back in time to the 1960’s, as a black woman, as the world is literally ending.
she then spends YEARS in a time where she experiences outright, violent racism at every turn. she experiences unimaginable trauma. she meets a man who is an activist and a dreamer, and she falls in love. she builds a life for herself in this time. she still doesn’t have her daughter, but she has something to hold onto.
and then, just as suddenly as before, she is ripped away from her husband and her life and thrown back into the future. but this time, she goes willingly, because Claire is in the future, and she loves her daughter too much to abandon her.
but… Claire isn’t there anymore. in fact, Claire never even existed at all. so now she has lost Claire and Raymond. she left her husband to be with a child that doesn’t even exist in this world. and so she spends all season being THE ONLY ONE of her siblings who actively tries to find a way back to their own timeline.
Diego gets a son, and basically ignores him for the first half of that story. Viktor gets Harlan back, his surrogate son. Luther finds new love with someone who is not allison, and essentially abandons the family for her at the start, and then actively chooses to go to Sloane over Allison when Allison was clearly in a time of need, even going so far as to throw Raymond and Claire in her face. Ben is different and a complete asshole. Klaus spends all season with their dad. and Five has just given up entirely. Allison lost everything, literally everything, and has to watch while her family moves on, doesn’t care, and finds new things to love while she just… floats. aimless. lost. utterly alone. all while she is still fighting breathlessly to get even one single piece of it all back. all while still dealing with the horrific trauma of what happened in the 60’s on top of it all. and then she finds out that Viktor found the cause of Claire’s lack of existence and hid it from her and to the whole family?!
so of course she snaps!! because no one, not one single person in her family, will help her. they’re all lying to her, too preoccupied with their own shit to pay attention to her desperate pleas. not one person actively seems to give a shit that she lost her child after leaving her husband behind solely to be with said child. so she makes a deal with the devil, because if no one else will help her, her desperation is too much to bear. her loss is unfathomable and there is a single solitary shred of hope that she may get something back.
she didn’t know he was gonna kill luther or klaus, she didn’t know his plan was going to end up killing all the siblings. all she knew was that not one of her siblings was going to help her, no matter how clear her desperation had become, no matter how obvious her mental breakdown was. but Reginald was going to help her, so she sided with the only option that gave her a fighting chance.
… but somehow she is now an irredeemable villain. got it.
allison hargreeves made mistakes. what she did to luther is absolutely inexcusable. she lashed out, she made a deal with the wrong man. but allison hargreeves was a devastated, desperate, broken woman who had nothing left of herself to give. so when everyone she loved in the world was either gone or turning their back on her, she did what she had to do to get her child back.

I told you, I don’t hate you! I mean, sometimes I want to kill you, but just like, in the normal way. I only want to kill you in the normal way too!
