BAD LIP READING SEAGULLS GONNA POKE ME MEME MAKER

ORIGIN & LORE

The 'Seagulls! (Stop It Now)' video is a viral parody created by the YouTube channel Bad Lip Reading in 2016, utilizing footage from the 1980 classic 'Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back'. The scene originally features Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) encountering the eccentric Jedi Master Yoda (Frank Oz) on the swamp planet Dagobah. In the parody, the dialogue is reimagined as a catchy, nonsensical song where Yoda details his traumatic experiences with seagulls at the beach, specifically fearing that they will 'poke me in the coconut.' This clip became an instant internet sensation, transcending the Star Wars fandom to become a universal symbol for irrational annoyances and sensory overload. In meme culture, it is frequently used to represent being bothered by something trivial yet persistent, or to illustrate the feeling of having a bizarre, recurring thought stuck in one's head. It often captures the dynamic between someone trying to be serious and someone else being completely unhinged. Example caption ideas include: 'Me trying to explain my 3 AM fever dream to my roommate,' 'When you're trying to focus but that one catchy song starts playing in your head,' and 'That one friend who won't stop talking about their weird hyper-fixation.'
