Vinepedia
Welcome to Vinepedia! This will be an occasional series that explains some of the "memes" of Vinesauce history.

Drinking Out of Cups


Supposed audio of a guy with a thick Long Island (NY) accent tripping on acid and nonchalantly shrugging off the imaginary, bizarre things he sees. The video, which can be found here, is frequently played on our autopilot. The lizard from the accompanying animation was one of the very first Vinesauce mascots, appearing in the first banner made by Vine. Some memorable and often repeated phrases from the video:

"Oh I'm King of the Trees, I'm the treemeister, I count on them."

"Oh, sometimes I pry, I got like a seedist."

"I wanna fisk, I wanna feedalisk... bard... padarscompalia, there's a little kid in the background going fucking crazy."

"I fuckin love seahorses."

Lately there's been a lot of talk of people being the "meisters" of things. The gamemeister, the vinemeister, the titmeister, etc. If someone's a meister it's more than likely a reference to the Drinking Out of Cups video. You can count on that.

F1


The bane of Vine's existence. While playing Metal gear Solid on Darren's potato emulator, Vine accidentally erased a good chunk of his progress by loading a save-state instead of saving one. His normal emulator uses the F1 button to save, so this was a reasonable mistake. The hours of torment that followed was far from reasonable. From shoops to intentional misspellings, the chat would bring Vine to his breaking point before finally letting it go.

Memorable quote: "A red F1ag for people that go mad is when they start to see things that aren't really there. Are you F1eeling ok, F1nny?

4.0


For all materials relating to, and/or referring to this number, see this video.

Freddie Mercury


The extremely flamboyant, extremely gay frontman of Queen. From his strong yet melodic voice to his commanding moustache, Freddie has quickly become something of a beloved mascot on Vinesauce Vidya. Inspiring the related Poodles Nostalgia "meme" through Electric Six frontman Dick Valentine, the influence of the Mercury Rocket can be felt long and hard. Being a hero to Jen, Tame and Vine, it's safe to say we'll be enjoying the miraculous melodies of the moustachoid melody maker for years to come.

Jack Nicholson


A fantastic actor and frequent attendee of many sporting events. These sports are not limited to just real life. He's been known to make appearances in Mario Kart Wii, often cheering on Vine from the sidelines. On one particular occasion, he was watching from the sidelines of Luigi Circuit as Vine crashed his Kart into the wall. Jack, always one for a good bet, was clearly disappoint as his sponsored racer, Vine, continued to lose time and time again. Assumedly, after losing so much money betting on the races, Jack had to resort to becoming a tollbooth operator at Moonview Highway. The only evidence of this was his second appearance in which he was spotted in the toll booth, shouting at the faltering Vine, "Vinny boy, Vinny boy, Uncle Jack is ashamed of you. That'll be 75 cents."

Funguy
One of the many characters from Chrono Cross. In the game, he is a bald guy who eats a strange mushroom in the forest. As a result, he himself becomes a living, breathing, fighting mushroom. The chat's insistence on leaving Funguy in Vine's party for most of the game led him to become somewhat of a Vinesauce hero. The look of satisfaction on his face can be possessed by no other living creature, be it man or myconid. His face was shooped onto many a chat regular.

Jaakko


One of the heroes of Vinesauce Vidya, Jaakko is either the most oblivious, aloof person in the world or the best troll on the internet. He calls himself the Angry Video Game Nerd and reviews games often repeatedly spouting nonsensical phrases such as "dip", uttering nearly unintelligible sentences, mispronouncing words, failing constantly and ending the video in the middle of the review. Aside from reviewing games, he produces an astounding number of bizarre videos ranging from a cube spinning in place to various community quizzes, political insights to pictures of himself shirtless and many other pointless and awe inspiring creations. Many despise him solely for the sound of his voice. Others, like myself, are aware of his brilliance. Go to his youtube account to see the insane number of videos Jaakko has contributed to the internet. The amount of his videos we have on our autopilot ensures he'll be a Vinesauce meme for a long time to come.

Uncle Zion
From the Rev. Billy trolling. I had called in to speak to the reverend, but I got the call screener lady instead. I told her that I wanted to reverend to pray for my Uncle Vine. She said "what?" about 3 times before I finally said, "Uncle V-I-N-E... It's french." Unfortunately, when she went to speak to the reverend, she said "We have a called that wants you to pray for his Uncle Zion, he said it's a french name." That's when I became Uncle Zion.

Bowser by Curtis


The pinnacle of 3D model art. Found on Google 3D Warehouse, it has since become ingrained in many of our hearts forever. It's creator, Curtis, has gone on to create others works of genius; some rivaling the art of DaVinci himself. Click here and see what I mean.

Select a Worldo
A more recent phrase that many of you are probably already familiar with. During a Mario Brothers ROM Corruption, I had reached a level with text floating above Mario, seemingly suspended in mid air by Bowser's evil magic. The text simply said: Select a Worldo. A superstar was born that very moment.
