00:00Sometimes, a meme blows up to be so big, so quickly, that it swiftly moves into ironic
00:04meme territory.
00:05Such seems to be the case for Hawktua.
00:07The original Hawktua clip blew up on social media overnight, exponentially more so than
00:12your average meme, and before long, everyone on the internet knew what Hawktua referred
00:16to.
00:17This made the meme inherently divisive, however, with some more critical internet users relegating
00:21it to the normie or zinternet spheres of the web.
00:28This, in addition to its oversaturation in internet culture, led to memers churning out
00:33ironic Hawktua memes, basically making fun of people who enjoyed or overused Hawktua.
00:38The ironic memes usually involve Hawktua being mixed into memes with other old or dead memes
00:43that once saturated our timelines.
00:45Some of these also just use the terms Hawk or Tua in random ways.
00:49These ironic memes began to gain traction in late July 2024, with one of the earliest
00:54being a post from ex-users AbbatonFan69 referencing Dat Boi.
