Far out I’m from New Zealand and I dident even know that tbh
It started as just another comment.
But over seven months, one strange sentence from a persistent TikTok commenter transformed into a viral meme that took over my comment sections, spread across the internet, and even ended up tattooed on someone’s ankle.
The Comment That Wouldn’t Go Away
My response video to the meme
If you’ve ever posted regularly on social media, you know that certain usernames start to stand out. For me, that username was bingbong629. For seven months straight — without fail — he commented the exact same thing under every single one of my videos.
“Far out I’m from New Zealand and I dident even know that tbh.”
Every. Single. Time.
The spelling never changed. “Didn’t” was always “dident.” “To be honest” was always “tbh.” And while it was weirdly harmless at first, seeing it appear under every upload eventually became both hilarious and maddening. The guy had dedication. Or maybe chaos. Probably both.
Seven Months Later: The Breaking Point
After months of silence on my end, I finally snapped — in the most public way possible.
I made a TikTok raging at the comment, venting my disbelief that bingbong629 had been doing this for so long. That video exploded, hitting over 102,000 views in just a few days.
But instead of sympathy, the internet did what the internet does best: it joined in.
My comments instantly flooded with copy-paste versions of the same line. It was everywhere. Every new post I made turned into a sea of “Far out I’m from New Zealand and I dident even know that tbh.” People were parodying it, remixing it, and tagging their friends to get in on the joke.
The phrase had officially become a meme.
When The Meme Went Cross-Platform
The joke post, which was viewed over 500,000 times
Things escalated quickly from there. I decided to lean into the chaos and posted a joke on my news media page, The Oceanic Press. It was simple — just the meme caption over a photo of Auckland’s Sky Tower.
That post blew up even bigger than the original rant.
It hit 580,000 views — more than half a million — and sent the meme into a completely new orbit. Suddenly, The Oceanic Press was part of the lore too. My followers brought the phrase everywhere — to unrelated creators’ comment sections, random TikTok videos, and even other social platforms.
People outside the joke were baffled. Meanwhile, those who were “in on it” were treating it like an inside club. Every comment section became a battleground between the confused and the initiated.
The Tattoo Moment
Like every good meme, it needed one final, absurd chapter — and it got one.
Someone actually went and got the phrase tattooed on their ankle.
At that point, it stopped being just an internet moment. It became a symbol of the chaotic, self-referential humor that defines social media culture in 2025 — where a single comment, repeated enough times, can spark a full-blown viral movement.
The Power (and Madness) of Internet Persistence
Looking back, it’s kind of poetic. One man’s relentless copy-paste crusade turned into a meme that united thousands of people in laughter, confusion, and chaos. It’s a perfect reminder that on the internet, you never really know what’s going to blow up — or how something so small can spiral into something so huge.
