Mudkips
Comments(27)
This is such a widespread fad now. What is a Mudkip? Most people that see it seem to think it is something dirty, but really it isn’t. It is nothing more than a stupid Pokemon character.
On many gaming boards this word pops up time and time again as a random post. You will see many, many ASCII pics of these stupid little Mudkips. ALWAYS you will see this:
“So I Herd U Liek Mudkips!!1!!1!”
Mudkip’s name is a portmanteau of mud, being a surrounding of its natural habitat, and Kip, which refers to Skip, relating to a the Mudskipper, the fish it resembles. It also resembles an axolotl. Its Japanese name, Mizugorou, is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for water (水, mizu?) and mudskipper (鯥五郎, mutsugorō?). The name Mudkip refers to both the overall species, and to individual Mudkip within the games, anime and manga series.
So what is the fascination? Is it some sort of computer memory upgrade?
Here’s a good background, or the underground internet look from Encyclopedia Dramatica:
Mudkip is a legendary creature. It’s known as a friend to the Claw Monster and Your Mom. Legend says that somebody was approached by a mysterious entity, who said “so i herd u liek mudkips.” It was then said that that one person created an image based on that strange quote. The image has recently resurfaced in /b/ on 4chan.
It is said that a Mudkip can be found lurking underwater, 4chan, DeviantART, IRC, as well as your Game Boy, your closet, and in your bed, jizzing off to a combusken. Started as another Meme on 4chan, it elevated to go on to the Drshnaps Asylum, where it festered and died. And was quickly replaced with the shoop da woop Phenomenon, what with their royal rainbows and whatnot.

Ummm… the mudkips thing is “bad” now after some girl too a picture of herself completly naked aside from some body paint used to make her look like a mudkip. It was probably bad before that, however I got banned on /b/-day and was recently unbanned this summer so I missed out enough to tell you the whole story.
Dumbass’ here better start readin the internets first!

Idiots. There’s a story behind the whole MudKip thing, way to look like ignorant jackasses guys. If you go to http://www.urbandictionary.com there’s a story behind the mudkip thing.. just search Mudkipz. It isn’t cause it’s a pokemon, it’s actually a funny story that people started teasing each other about. Fuck wits like you who don’t have a clue start shit like this and next thing you know, 2 entirely different stories come around. YA FAIL. FAIIIIIIIIIIL.
ALSO the chick in body paint already explained the photos. It was a bet with her ex boyfriend that she could make a mudkip sexy- after they broke up, he posted her photos online. SHE DIDN’T PUT THEM THERE. LAWL At anon for telling people to read and not havin a fuckin clue.
The link to En Dramatica is in the fucking pot dude…lol
This post doesn’t ahve anything in it really. IT was a quick post for no reason. The post at the end has all that shit in it already so yeah…
