The 'Struttin' That Ass' meme originates from a 1995 news segment by WAAY-TV in Huntsville, Alabama, featuring an eccentric local man named Bentley Poston. During an interview about a local bypass project, Poston launched into a rhythmic, angry tirade against people 'struttin' that ass' while walking to Guntersville, roughly 38 miles away. The video became an early internet sensation due to his intense delivery, specific cadence, and the absurdity of his grievances. Today, the meme is used to mock people who are acting overly confident or 'showing off' without substance, often paired with the rhythmic chant from the original footage.
