Snel hest (intentionally misspelled Swedish for 'kind horse') is a legendary internet meme that originated in the early 2000s on Swedish forums like LunarStorm and Flashback. The meme features a crude, MS Paint-style drawing of a horse and is characterized by its distinct leetspeak or lolcat style Swedish spelling. The most famous variation involves a dialogue asking 'får man klapa?' (may I pet?) followed by the response 'klapa snel hest' (pet kind horse). It represents a primitive era of internet humor, utilizing intentional grammatical errors and a wholesome yet surreal aesthetic. Today, it remains a nostalgic symbol of Scandinavian web culture and the absurdist roots of early meme history.
