About

Thank You Thank You Thank You Bouncing Guy, also known as Thank You Thank You Thank You Meme, Thank You Guy or Thank You Bounce, refers to a series of viral videos of a man named Noah Huels (or noahjuels) squatting down with his hands on the ground and his legs wrapped above them, bouncing up and down as he repeatedly says, "Thank you." Huels began posting clips of himself performing the movement on his TikTok in mid-2021, with the meme forming and spreading over the following years, primarily in 2025 and early 2026, as others began recreating the moves or dance and using GIFs of him as reaction memes. Some also use clips of Huels bouncing as exploitables via green-screen templates.

Amid the Thank You meme's rise to virality, many online have perceived the movements as a sexual act or position, often referencing gay terms such as a "power bottom." Huels is purportedly married to a woman named Hazel and has a child.
