This is truly the Vaughn Meader of viral videos — a humor unfortunately just a moment too late. Mocking the hit viral app “Flappy Bird,” this YouTube video, “Flappy Fedora,” shits bird-like all over internet culture with the ultimate in “M’lady” mocking. And yet, the source material is no longer living.
“Flappy Bird,” the app that had you flying a bird through obstacles, became a mobile phenomenon with shades of “Angry Birds.” Then the designer, Dong Nguyen, apparently got overwhelmed by the success and killed the app over the weekend. Now this joke feels a little painful. Still pretty damn funny though.
