BLOOMINGTON, IN — Late yesterday, local Bloomington funeral home Memery & Dank hosted a woke for Dabbing. \u201cIt\u2019s been a hard year for memes,\u201d said Quavo, one of the Dab’s oldest supporters. \u201cWhen we all first met Dabbing, I thought it was here to stay. You just never know, ya know?\u201d<\/p>\n
The meme, which had been on its last legs for most of 2017, took a turn for the worst in early 2018. \u201cIt just couldn\u2019t recover from the election,\u201d said Ellen. \u201cI take full responsibility for Mrs. Clinton\u2019s ill-advised attempts at Dabbing on my television show. I\u2026 I just wish we\u2019d left on better terms.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Ellen’s heartfelt sentiments, all eyes turned to NFL quarterback, Cam Newton.\u201cDabbing helped me get through a hard time in my life,\u201d he said, \u201cWhen I was looking for a new touchdown dance, Dabbing was right there every step of the way. No one thought it would get popular, become ironic to do, then come back around full circle before it slowly petered out of relevance. But it did, and we were all better off for it.”<\/p>\n
The last proponent of the Dab who spoke was 11 year old Sammy Harris. “On hearing the news, I was devastated. Last year we lost the Whip and Nae Nae, and that was tough enough. But, the Dab? I thought… I guess I thought the Dab had a few more years. It’s just… it’s good to know it’s in a better place now” said Harris, sobbing.<\/p>\n
Throughout Harris’ speech, Logan Paul was reportedly seen in the back row of the event, alternating between bouts of crying and making desperate prayers to the “Big Fidget Spinner in the Sky.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
