Origin

On August 16th, 2023, X^[1] user @josef245668 posted a video of a then-recent YouTube stream of IShowSpeed's in which he got jump-scared while playing Five Nights at Freddy's and then started humping the air. Soon after he started, his penis slipped out of his pants from the front, with Speed quickly expressing shock as he realized what happened. @josef245668's video received roughly 149,800 views and 300 likes in one hour (censored screenshot shown below).

Spread

Soon after, @josef245668's video was reposted by X^[2] user @tracedontmiss on August 16th, 2023, who captioned it, "no way ishowspeed just flashed his meat while live 😭," gaining roughly 28,300 likes in one hour (screenshot shown below, left). Within the same timeframe, X^[3] user @domainsdomain posted a screenshot of Speed's face post flash, writing, "IShowSpeed is definitely moving to Kick after todays stream☠️☠️," gaining roughly 11,200 likes in one hour (shown below, right).

IShowMeat

At around 1:03 p.m. EST on August 16th, 2023, X^[4] user @clintbabyy posted a video of BruceDropEmOff laughing with the caption, "IShowSpeed?? Nah, IShowMeat 😭," gaining roughly 1,000 likes in two hours (shown below).

Soon after, various users on X^[5][6] started to go viral for using the pun "IShowMeat" as it spread in conjunction with the incident via jokes and memes. The pun quickly garnered attention from numerous media outlets online after it began to spread as well.^[8]

Move To Kick Speculation

Back in May 2023 when Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed announced their deal with Rumble to create a livestream show, it was revealed by Adin Ross that he had also offered Speed and Kai $40 million to come over to Kick.

With IShowSpeed being in a contentious state with YouTube due to multiple bans for different reasons, many online began speculating that the August 2023 flashing incident would be the final straw that might lead Speed to sign with the platform, as noted by X^[7] user @JavaqaAdui on August 16th, 2023 (shown below).

YouTube Confirms No Ban

On August 17th, 2023, TMZ^[9] reported that Speed would not be banned by YouTube. TMZ had purportedly talked directly to representatives at the company. The news quickly spread to the website formerly known as Twitter in viral posts, such as one X^[10] post from Dexerto's account which received over 35,000 likes in two hours.

Memetic reactions ensued in the replies and QRTs, such as a reply posted by X^[11] user @ilylucaaa on August 17th, which used a Spider-Man template to represent YouTube saving Speed from Kick, gaining roughly 5,300 likes in two hours (shown below, left). X^[12] user @BigPuffer wrote in a QRT on the day of, "There’s no way twitter thought YouTube was actually gonna 'ban' speed right????" gaining roughly 1,000 likes in two hours (shown below, right).
