A copypasta is a block of text which is copied and pasted across the internet by individuals through online forums and social networking websites. Copypastas are said to be similar to spam.[1]

History[edit]
The word "copypasta" was first used on Usenet groups in 2006,[2] being added to Urban Dictionary on 20 April 2006[3] and Encyclopedia Dramatica, a satirical internet culture wiki, in September 2006.[4] According to Google Trends, the word "copypasta" was first used around April 2006.[5]

Etymology[edit]
The term "copypasta" is derived from the computer term "copy/paste",[3] and can be traced back to an anonymous 4chan forum from 2006.[1][6]

Navy Seal[edit]
The Navy Seal copypasta (also known as the "Marine copypasta", "Internet tough guy copypasta" or "gorilla warfare copypasta")[7] is a lengthy, comically written, aggressive attack paragraph against a "kiddo", written in the voice of the stereotypical "tough guy", listing absurd accomplishments such as having "over 300 confirmed kills" and being "trained in gorilla [sic] warfare". This copypasta is often reposted as a humorous overreaction to an insult and is thought to have originated a post on a 4chan message board from 11 November 2010.[7][8]

Bee Movie[edit]

The Bee Movie copypasta dates back to 2013 where users would post the entire script of the Bee Movie onto websites such as Reddit and Tumblr.[9] This was popularised around the time where edits of the film were first being posted and popularized on YouTube in late 2016.[10]
