Trololo Cat: When YouTube Memes Collide

This viral video of a cat’s response to its owner scratching its neck would be mildly amusing on its own, but mash it up with Russian singer Eduard Khil’s accidental viral hit “Trololo” and it becomes “epic,” as they say on the interwebs.

When scratched, the cat props its neck and head up in such a way that it becomes the spitting image of Khil in the Trololo viral video.

Cat (cat) videos are a staple of YouTube (YouTube)’s viral video culture, so this qualifies as a meme mashup. Both memes are going strong; the new Keyboard Cat video just hit the web recently, and Trololo has its own iPhone app now. Weird, wild stuff.
