While scrolling through your social media feeds, you probably might have come across video content where memes made such videos even more exciting.
These memes often stem from real-life moments, with some created for comedy purposes.
Regardless, these short video memes, which have taken over platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook, are usually extracted from longer videos.
While some of the people behind these viral videos deliberately recorded them for the purpose of gaining attention and engagement, others had no idea that their moments, especially their ‘priceless’ reactions, would capture such mass attention.
Watch these exciting video memes and their origins:
“Funke”
You might have heard a man shouting “Funke!” followed by phrases like “Apostle will hear of this!” or “Jesus is Lord!”.
These dramatic exclamations, often used to express shock, have become viral across the internet.
The sound originated from a father’s shocked reaction upon discovering that his son had impregnated someone. The video clip has since been widely used in memes to express surprise or disbelief.

Akrobeto’s laughter
Ghanaian media personality Akrobeto went viral after his attempt to solve a difficult “Problem of the Day” on his ‘Real News’ show during the National Maths and Science Quiz.
His uncontrollable, infectious laughter at his failed attempt quickly became a viral sensation, often used by content creators to add humour and express extreme amusement in videos.
“There is God, oo”
The famous “There is God” skit by former First Lady Patience Jonathan, wife of former Nigerian president Good Luck Jonathan, became one of the most viewed videos on the internet since it was first aired in 2014.
The video, published by Channels TV on YouTube, shows Mrs. Jonathan breaking down emotionally during a meeting about the abduction of 276 schoolgirls by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State.
The dramatic display of emotion has since been repurposed by netizens to express sorrow and exaggeration in various videos.
“Wetin be this?”
This meme came from a man who filmed his reaction to a bad haircut.
He was seen pointing out the spot on his hairline where his barber had trimmed it incorrectly and expressing his displeasure.
The video has since been widely used on social media to convey frustration or dissatisfaction with a situation.
