AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The "It's The Count" meme involves scenes from the song "It's The Count" featured in the Netflix series 'A Series of Unfortunate Events,' adapted from Lemony Snicket's book series. The meme typically showcases edits of these scenes in various humorous or absurd ways, using the catchy tune to replace words or sync with different media.
OriginWho did it first?
The original song is performed by the character Count Olaf, portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris, in the episode 'The Bad Beginning (Part 1)' of 'A Series of Unfortunate Events.' In this scene, Count Olaf sings about his own devious traits after the Baudelaire children return home. Following the episode's debut, the meme gained traction when YouTube user copop22 uploaded a video titled "Its the count but every count is replaced with yee!", featuring edits of the song where the word "count" is swapped with the Yee scene from Dinosaur Adventure. You can watch the original Copop22's remix here: Its the count but every count is replaced with yee!. Another popular remix by SparkySywer, titled "It's the Count but when they say something that rhymes with 'Count', Klaus gets bitch slapped," also contributed to the meme's popularity, available here: It's the Count but when they say something that rhymes with "Count", Klaus gets bitch slapped.[1]
