      In the show, the Ramones performed, Mr. Burns was offended, and he tells Smithers “Have the Rolling Stones killed.”

      The meme is Mr Burns confuses two celebrities and orders one killed in his massive disappointment.

      They both went viral somewhat recently. I think that’s the joke, Burns is so old and out of touch he mixed them up.

      Her most memed moments came from her third contest, after she had failed to score a single point in her first 2.

      So yeah, I think she might have been having some fun with it the third time around. She knew she wouldn’t progress out of the pool phase, so why not have fun with it?

      Yoa doawg! Course I was trollin’! B-girls be whack N I jus be keeping it real bruh! - Raygun

      She’s either the next Ali-G or just a starry-eyed dreamer who wasn’t about to let her mom-bod get in the way of her aspirations. Either way I give her props and hope she has the ability to share in some of the laughter she brought to the world. Im glad she’s out there keeping it real.

    As someone who enjoyed watching break dancing as a kid… I have to say, this woman did NOT belong anywhere near anything resembling break dancing. How she got to the olympics on behalf of Australia makes no sense. I cringed from start to finish and my only rational, logical conclusion is that this woman is a troll and wanted to disrespect the hip hop culture.

    Why? The ones winning the contests haven’t been on a-social media that often. So she’s most famous for her style. Chapeau!

      To clarify. The hawk tua is the sound one makes when reeling up saliva and then spitting.

      The lady in question said her magic blow job secret was spitting all over the knob. Somehow that vibed with the internet.

      Australian person who basically got the gov to pay for her trip to Paris under the guise of participating in the breakdancing portion of the Olympics. She studies culture or something so some ppl think she was making a statement by being terrible

    At least she gave things a try, unlike most people

    Raise your hands if you’ve been in the Olympics…

    Me and my mates so stupid stuff all the time just to mess around… It’s better to try something and fail then not try at all. And she’ll have a great pub story
