About

The Idol of Eirræbœ, sometimes written Eirraeboe and also known as The Arrival of Eirræbœ, refers to a schizo meme that centers on a creepypasta-like, paranormal story about an upside-down, green pyramid that descends from the sky. The lore was started by a creepy SpongeBob video originally posted to iFunny in early 2023, highlighting Patrick's face disappearing and likening it to the impending arrival of Eirræbœ when three senses will be stripped by those affected. Memes and video content about Eirræbœ spread across social media in 2023, surfacing on Instagram, YouTube and Twitter / X.

Origin

On March 14th, 2023, iFunnier^[1] @ItsYaBoiSneaks posted a video that started the Eirræbœ meme, showing a scene from SpongeBob SquarePants in which there was an animation glitch that resulted in Patrick's face disappearing. The video creator used the glitch as evidence of the impending arrival of Eirræbœ which would cause "The user being completely stripped from 3 of their senses after the event of arrival." Also, "The green object engraved with Anglo-Saxon glyphs" was likened to "The idol of Eirræbœ." Over eight months, the video received roughly 1,400 smiles (shown below).

Semi-viral posts on iFunny^[4]^[5]^[6] continued to reference Eirræbœ going into 2023. For instance, on June 19th, 2023, iFunnier^[6] @TheEirraeboeWitness posted a video that added to the lore, namedropping new figures named Ythorn and the Sólarenglar. The video gained 241 smiles in five months (shown below).

And so, Ythorn commanded the Sólarenglar to blind the eyes of the youth, preventing Eirræbe from ever reaching their minds.

Later in 2023, memes in which people's faces were scrubbed, similar to Slender Man, were posted to Twitter / X seemingly about Eirræbœ. For instance, on November 9th, 2023, X^[7] user @Thafnine posted the Built By Gamers Podcast guys with no faces, gaining roughly 29,000 likes in three weeks (shown below).

In the replies of the aforementioned tweet, X^[8] user @afftonny replied, "The idol of Eirræbœ got to them," attaching an Eirræbœ video featuring clips of Jerma, gaining roughly 6,200 views and 128 likes in three weeks (shown below).
