Where does the “Paffendorf Dance” meme come from?
The exact origin of the video remains unknown. The earliest known version features Momoko Kuzuryū from the manga and anime *Sumomomo Momomo*. Reports suggest the video first circulated on GeoCities before being uploaded to YouTube in April 2007. The creator's name and exact GeoCities publication date are undocumented. Its import to Nico Nico Douga in February 2008 was pivotal, with Japanese users dubbing it *At-Uut-Uut-Ine-Ine* based on phonetic interpretation.
