If you were online at all last week and following the Fourteen days/dragon ball Crossover event, chances are pretty good you might have run into someone who lost it on an apparent zoomer mispronouncing Goku’s iconic attack. “So we all know that Kameyamama is overwhelmed,” creator Dagwummy said in his Aug. 18 video. It spread like wildfire. Pretty soon everyone from Ninja to Goku’s real life voice actor had chimed in. Most then quickly moved on. If they hadn’t, they would have realized they were being trolled.
“I’ve noticed that with a lot of other people Fourteen days Creators mispronounced the name” dagwummy said my box in a phone interview. “And the night before I made that video I just thought if everyone else got it wrong it would be funny to add both because I knew some people would actually take the bait and there would be some funny comments.” .” He was right.
The video ended with the creation’s social media sweet spot hitting the spot people angry about someone being wrong in an extremely specific and nerdy way. Dagwummy also confessed to having never watched any of the original anime.
He said he settled on a “Yo Mama” pun because it was one he’d used occasionally in the past, and despite recording several different takes with different ways of mispronouncing the phrase, he stuck with it this version. It apparently took him 20-30 minutes to nail down the perfectly dry and straight intonation.

If anything, the fact that the pun was so cheesy and made no sense helped make it that much more believable as a real bug. Anyone who knows his channel would have heard him pronounce Kamehameha correctly the day before, but in the context-crushing world of the internet, it became the perfect bait. Especially since there is already a cultural subtext that young people play Fourteen days have no idea where the branded crossover characters they play originally came from.
Dagwummy, who has 630,000 subscribers on YouTube and nearly a million followers on Tiktok, has been making videos for years, focusing on informative short films that let people know what’s going on in their minds Fourteen days. According to him, the video started exploding on YouTube shorts and TikTok before reaching a whole new audience on Twitter. “I’m crying why he says Kamehameha like that,” anime account JohnnySpitten wrote in a tweet later that day that garnered over a hundred thousand likes.
while a few dragon ball Fans raged in TikTok duets, others simply tried to add their own dunks. “The sperm hey ha mama,” Ninja wrote. “Smh,” KSI replied. Even Goku’s English voiceover, Sean Schemmel, responded, tweeting, “The ‘Kamiamama’ is Kami’s mama?”
On August 20, Dagwummy posted another video explaining how he had successfully trolled millions of people. This video received even more views than the original. He also kept the schtick, calling Goku “Gaku” at the very end of the video. “I’m crying that there’s some Aizen-level stuff going on here that’s slipping my mind 😭😭”, answered the JohnnySpitten account.
Others in Dagwummy’s comments claim to be unconvinced. For his part, he says he never expected it to garner so much attention in the first place. “It wasn’t really meant to be an engagement forum,” he said. Of course, that didn’t stop him from trolling people again another wrong pronunciation earlier this week.
