This iconic clip originates from the viral 2012 YouTube video 'EYEBROWS' by the channel Bad Lip Reading, which parodied the first U.S. presidential debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. In the scene, archival footage of Mitt Romney is expertly dubbed with a catchy, synth-pop melody where he claims he 'was big in Japan' and mentions having a 'black belt.' The absurdity of a stoic political figure singing about niche international stardom created an instant internet classic. Culturally, this meme is the go-to choice for representing 'fake flexing' or bragging about obscure, unverifiable achievements from one's past. It is frequently used when someone tries to justify their ego with a bizarre or irrelevant fact. Example captions include: 'Me explaining my high school glory days to my coworkers,' 'When you find out you have 5 followers on an obscure platform,' and 'Telling my date about my legendary status in an abandoned MMO.'
