The 'Hey what's up you guys? Yes' clip is the signature intro used by YouTube veteran Shane Dawson, specifically gaining massive meme traction during his documentary era in 2018. The footage features Shane Dawson himself, often filmed in a handheld vlog style, delivering his high-energy greeting followed by a sharp, slightly breathless 'Yes.' This specific verbal punctuation became a cultural hallmark of the late-2010s YouTube community. It is most commonly used to represent someone checking in on a situation that is either chaotic, dramatic, or entirely overwhelming. The clip perfectly captures the energy of someone pretending to be okay while entering a mess of their own making. Common usage includes checking group chat notifications or returning to a social situation after a long absence. Example captions include: 'Me checking the group chat after a 3-hour nap,' 'Entering the kitchen at 3 AM for a snack,' and 'Me showing up to the party I said I wouldn't attend.'
