Production Notes for Know Your Meme: Boxxy
For more Know Your Meme visit the MemeDB
While I’m not bowled over by the Boxxy meme, I think we found some interesting things to say about it. While most of the other Boxxy-related posts seem to concentrate on ‘The Girl’ or the timeline of the phenomenon, we wanted to highlight both the seemingly ground-up nature of the contagion as well as the back and forth between Valkyrie and the CBCR/CBRC, two loosely associated groups both claiming (more or less) ownership over the image board.
The opening scene gets the point across (everyone is trying to find out who Boxxybabee is), Jamie’s delivery is spot on (he refuses to read off of cue cards and actually memorizes his lines, btw) and little touches like the Boxxy quotes bookending the segments help move the story forward. I’m really happy with the way this episode turned out.
Research by Chris Menning and Andrew with absolutely *key* help from Rex Sorgatz and Brad O’Farrell. Shot and edited by Barry. Boxxy “Wanted” poster by Greg.
