Where does the “No Joe, No !” meme come from?
The documented rise of this meme begins on GameFAQs, specifically in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl forums. On April 27, 2008, user "Shadow Light Master" posted a thread titled Ultimate Canonical Battle Topic, Explained with comics. This thread already contained variants, suggesting prior inspiration. A post there predicted its widespread reuse. The comic spread to GameSpot forums for the same game, generating about twenty-five pages of comments and derivatives. These discussions remained active for months before archiving. The model also reached 4chan's /v/ board by August 2008 at the latest. Sources mention no video, show, or identified author. The canonical meaning remains unknown; usage focuses on creating humorous variants.
