The 'I'm a Snake' meme stems from a viral YouTube video uploaded in 2011, featuring a person wriggling on the floor while rhythmically chanting the phrase. Known for its surreal humor and low-budget charm, the video quickly became a staple of early internet culture. It is primarily used to represent someone being 'sneaky' or acting in a bizarre, low-profile manner. Over the years, the catchphrase has transitioned into various image macros and GIFs, often applied to pets, kids, or celebrities caught in awkward, horizontal positions. Its enduring popularity lies in its simplicity and the infectious nature of the original audio.
