What does the “San Fermín’s Viking” meme mean?
People cite the Viking to describe someone loudly provoking a rival, usually with theatrical gestures wildly out of proportion to what's actually at stake. The meme fits that neighborhood rivalry filmed with near-sporting seriousness.
Where does the “San Fermín’s Viking” meme come from?
The Mitazos site posted a video in August 2010 introducing the Viking, from Madrid's San Fermín district, expressing hostility toward another local character, the Potro of Vallecas, already known from this scene of filmed amateur challenges. The character stands out for sudden shouts and noises with no apparent connection to the actual provocation, which only adds to the scene's comedy.
