| It's time for a new meme! this time we are looking at "do not want". Do not want is a phrase that is used to reply to anything that is undesirable on the internet, for example: Internet user 1: I posted my new video on youtube of me dancing around in a speedo, check it out: [Insert atrocious video here] Internet user 2:  The phrase has its memetic origings in a chinese bootlegged copy of star wars episode 3. The botlegged copy was subbed in english, off of the chinese dubbing, so it would be {english} -> {Chinese dubbed} -> {subbed off the chinese dubbing that was done off the original english}. Naturally there is going to be some discrepancies here, creating what we like to call engrish. This engrish led Darth Vader's final noooo of the movie to be translated as DO NOT WANT. The epic scene can be viewed below: A person in America got a copy of this ridiculously subbed copy and posted the funny lines on his blog, which spread as meme due to the viral effect. Some of the other lines are listed by knowyourmeme.com: "Although the blog contained such absurd translations like “Jedi Council” becoming “The Presbyterian Church,” “the force” becoming “the wish power,” and many inexplicable mentions of elephants, the screen-shot that became a meme, was the final image posted on the blog; in which Darth Vader’s scream of “NOOOOOO!” is translated to “DO NOT WANT.”" The meme also has a flip side, being DO WANT, or MAYBE WANT. these terms are posted to something that is desirable on the internet, or possibly desirable. Some of the image macros for them can be seen below. |
