Johny Johny Yes Papa originated from a series of nursery rhyme videos, most notably by the YouTube channel BillionSurpriseToys, which gained massive internet notoriety in 2018. The videos featured uncanny CGI animation and a repetitive dialogue structure where a father catches his son, Johny, eating sugar. The internet quickly latched onto the surreal and slightly unsettling nature of the animation, transforming the innocent song into a vessel for 'weird YouTube' culture and shitposting. It is commonly used to depict situations where someone is caught in a blatant lie or performing an absurd act, often paired with the rhythmic 'Telling lies? No Papa' and 'Open your mouth! Ha! Ha! Ha!' sequences.
