In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Blood” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22549 of the collection, and the 44th best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Blood” meme mean?
The joke is a tender misunderstanding: the more the child insists it is not funny, the more his father cracks up. People bring it up when someone is taking a subject extremely seriously while everyone else finds it hilarious, or when a fit of laughter keeps growing because the person being laughed at objects. It also works as nostalgia for the 2000s YouTube era, an unpolished slice of family life that turned into a reference point. It combines childhood innocence, family humor and the near impossibility of keeping a straight face once the giggles begin.
Where does the “Blood” meme come from?
The clip was uploaded to YouTube on October 9, 2006 by Mark Garza of Zapato, Texas. It shows his young son trying to say the word “blood” in his own way. The father is amused by the pronunciation, while the boy, offended, keeps saying “Not funny,” which only makes the laughter grow. A longer version supplies the background: the child had been playing near the baby, pretending to be a monster, and had hurt his lip. His parents reacted quickly, but he noticed the blood only later and was shocked by their apparent calm. The video reached millions of viewers, became linked to other classics such as Charlie bit my finger, and inspired many imitations. Know Your Meme cites no interview with Garza, who does not appear to have tried to profit from the attention.
