part of a series on Copy Pasta

Origin

“THEN WHO WAS PHONE?” originated from the /x/ community on 4chan, where people try to tell each other scary stories.

One day a stroller-troller left the following text, and memetic history was made:

So ur with ur honey and yur making out wen the phone rigns. U anser it n the vioce is “wut r u doing wit my daughter?” U tell ur girl n she say “my dad is ded”. THEN WHO WAS PHONE?

The silliness (and perhaps intentional errors) made it popular, and this piece of creepypasta was picked up and even spawned a couple of spin-offs, including “IT WAS PHONE”.

The “IT WAS PHONE” meme was a spoof of the original meta-meme. The copypasta text goes like:

/B/ WHAT MAKES YOU ANGRY
I HAVE STORY I WAS AT HOME
I WAS GO TO SLEEP WHEN TIRED
BUT WAKE UP BECAUSE AT DOOR!!!
I GO TO DOOR!! I OPEN NOBODY WAS THERE!!!
IT WAS FONE

The line “IT WAS FONE” became a catchphrase that is used all over YouTube and 4Chan.

This meme carries similar connotations to the I Accidentally a X

This is like the sibling of the somewhat-less known “AND THEN A SKELETON POPS OUT”, I think… used as a joking sort of ending for creepypasta… Not sure where it originates, though.

Fail at knowing your meme, this meme is as old MSPaint comics.

It originated on /b/ before newfaggotry peek’d as high as the rate of World of Warcraft subscriptions. /thread lurk moar
