History
The word "copypasta" was first used on Usenet groups in 2006.[2]
Etymology
The term "copypasta" is derived from the computer term "copy/paste", and can be traced back
to an anonymous 4chan thread from 2006.[1][3]
Examples
Navy Seal
The Navy Seal copypasta is a lengthy, comically written, aggressive attack paragraph against
a "kiddo", written in the voice of the stereotypical "tough guy", listing absurd
accomplishments such as having "over 300 confirmed kills" and being "trained in gorilla [sic]
warfare". This copypasta is often reposted as a humorous overreaction to an insult and is
thought to have originated in a post on a 4chan message board from 11 November 2010.[4]
This copypasta is in the manifesto of the perpetrator of the Christchurch mosque shootings.[5]
Bee Movie
Main article: Bee Movie § Legacy
The Bee Movie copypasta started in 2013 when users posted its entire script onto websites
such as Reddit and Tumblr.[6] It was popularized when edits of the film were first uploaded to
YouTube in late 2016.[7]
"A Drive Into Deep Left Field by Castellanos"
On 19 August 2020, during a Major League Baseball game between the Cincinnati Reds and
Kansas City Royals, Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman uttered a homophobic slur on a hot
mic. Later in the broadcast, Brennaman apologized to listeners. Mid-apology, Nick
Castellanos hit a home run, and Brennaman broke from his apology to deliver the play-byplay.[8] Brennaman said, "I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a
drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0
ballgame." The moment became an internet meme as a copypasta. ESPN's Pablo Torre later
said it "was like listening to the band play on as the Titanic was sinking. Except the band was
also somehow the iceberg."[9]
