Sokkaposting

About

Sokkaposting refers to jokes based around the character Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The trend flooded Reddit's /r/me_irl subreddit in mid-June 2017. Many of the memes revolve around a memorable line from the cartoon of Sokka praising "Cactus Juice."

Origin

On June 13th, 2017, Redditor TheLastMemeWizard^[1] posted the first Sokkaposting image to /r/me_irl, gaining over 1,400 points in less than 24 hours (shown below). In five hours, the image was posted by the me_irl Twitter bot.^[2]

Spread

This set off a wave of posts devoted to Sokka on the subreddit. Many of the jokes centered around Sokka's love of "cactus juice" (examples shown below).

Almost immediately, this led to bewilderment on the subreddit. Two of the most popular jokes in the subreddit were self-referential gags about the sudden influx of Sokka posts. They were posted by Papa-Blessed-Me-Up^[3] (below, left) and pinkiespies^[4] (below, right), gaining over 2,000 and 1,800 points respectively.
