+/r/'''OkBuddyRetard''' is predominantly a subreddit created by [[Kirbizia]] and now owned and run by [[GrantVsZombies]] and [[Lemonade1947]], where users share ironic memes created to parody and satirize memes that they find to be normie or of poor quality. Memes in the subreddit typically parody image macros that use the impact font, which is associated with older memes and mainstream culture. These memes are generally captioned with nonsequiturs that are occasionally distorted through text overlays.
 Throughout it's history, it's had five servers: OkBR1, [[Whenthe|Whenthe (Formerly OkBR2)]], OkBR3, OkBR4, and OkBR5, is perchance the most influencial subreddit, and discord server in the sphere, giving birth to many other servers that would in some cases even overtake OkBR in membercount.

 == History of Subreddit ==
+=== Origins ===
+On March 26th, 2017, iFunny user Paddy_2017 posted the earliest known image of Doge with the caption "OK Retard." The image was captioned "The easter bunny isn't real." It received more than 4,300 upvotes (shown below). On August 2nd, 2017, an anonymous 4chan user on the /pol/ (Politically Incorrect) board would post this image without the IFunny mark. The image would later become a de facto logo for the subreddit, ''(though it would later change over time as the subreddit grew.)'' The image would also spread onto other 4chan boards, and then later onto different platforms.
+{{Quote|Hi I made the thing as asked in question so I think I can say some things about it. The initial idea for r/okbuddyretard was based on the "original" of an image of doge saying ok buddy, crossed out multiple times with the words retard. I got this image from people posting it in the r/bonehurtingjuice discord, so I can't say where they came from. I created the subreddit based on a image similar to what happened with r/bonehurtingjuice. Similarly to r/bonehurtingjuice just posted images I found on discord, reddit or other places that I found were funny and had a somewhat similar theme.|u/[[Kirbizia]]}}

 Bizarrely, this was reported on by an Indian news website. This news site reported on the story almost entirely inaccurately, stating that OKBR was for "offensive memes" and misinterpreting [[Lemonade1947]]'s tweets about the situation. <ref>https://www.republicworld.com/technology-news/gaming/pewdiepie-okbuddyretard-video.html</ref>

 In mid to late March of 2022, Doctor Penez invited several subreddit moderators to OkBR4, including Redyards. On April 7th 2022, Redyards nuked OkBR4, which marked the possible end of the OkBR legacy. As a result, many accuse [[Doctor Penez]] of paving the way for OkBR's downfall.
-After the OkBR4 Nuke, the moderators gave up. It was thought that there was no chance of an OkBR5, but despite that, OkBR 5 would be made a year later on April 21st 2023 and it would be owned by GrantVsZombies and Irony server wiki owner [[Myszak]].
