The internet is a vast and ever-changing landscape, where trends rise and fall with the capriciousness of a teenager's mood swings. In this dynamic environment, the interplay of internet memes and content consumption has garnered increasing attention from researchers and enthusiasts alike. At the intersection of these phenomena, we encounter the unexpected relationship between the popularity of the 'scumbag steve' meme and the total likes garnered by Vihart YouTube videos. This peculiar entanglement has sparked our curiosity and led us down the rabbit hole of digital oddities and correlations.
Now, you might be wondering, "What does a meme about a cap-wearing, maligned youth have to do with the enchanting mathematical musings of Vihart?" Well, my friend, that's the million-dollar question. It turns out that the internet has a peculiar way of connecting seemingly disparate entities, much like a dad's knack for creating unexpected puns in everyday conversations.
The 'scumbag steve' meme, depicting a seemingly unsavory character engaging in questionable behavior, has enjoyed its fair share of viral fame on the internet. Meanwhile, Vihart, a renowned creator and academic, has been captivating audiences with her engaging and educational YouTube content. One might think these two entities occupy separate spheres of internet culture, much like how dad jokes and highbrow humor often move in different circles. However, our research has uncovered a surprise lurking in the digital depths.
As we sifted through the troves of data obtained from Google Trends and YouTube analytics, we unearthed a striking correlation between the surge in 'scumbag steve' meme searches and the uptick in engagement with Vihart's videos. The statistical relationship we've identified isn't just a fluke; it's as robust as a well-crafted dad joke – no fooling here!
But before delving into the crux of our findings, let's take a moment to appreciate the rich tapestry of internet culture and the unexpected connections that lurk within its virtual corridors. After all, as the internet bard Shakespeare might have said if he were alive today, "All the world’s a meme, and all the men and women merely content creators."
Stay tuned for the revelatory unveiling of the "Meme-orial Effect" – the digital duet that has left researchers scratching their heads and chuckling at the internet's enigmatic sense of humor.
Let's dig deep into the data and uncover the intriguing nuances of this curious confluence. After all, we wouldn't want to miss a golden opportunity to blend serious research with a touch of whimsy – just like a well-timed dad joke in a solemn conversation.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In "The Internet Phenomena: A Comprehensive Analysis," Smith delves into the intricate web of internet culture, dissecting the rise and spread of online memes. Smith's work sheds light on the mechanisms behind the sudden virality of memes and their impact on digital discourse. However, Smith's analysis fails to anticipate the unexpected twist we've uncovered – the peculiar harmony between the 'scumbag steve' meme and the total likes of Vihart YouTube videos. It's a connection that's as surprising as uncorking a bottle of sparkling water and finding soda instead.
Doe, in "Digital Delights: Exploring Online Content Consumption," explores the patterns of content consumption in the digital realm. While Doe's research offers valuable insights into the factors influencing viewership and engagement with online content, it fails to capture the unanticipated synergy between a notorious meme and educational video musings. It's as if the internet itself staged a comedy sketch with surprising guest appearances.
Moving beyond the realm of scholarly articles, books like "Memes and Their Influence on Modern Society" by Jones provide a comprehensive look into the sociocultural impact of internet memes. However, Jones' work overlooks the delightful intersection between the antics of 'scumbag steve' and the mesmerizing allure of Vihart's mathematical musings. It's an omission as startling as finding out that pi's real value is 3.14, and it also loves eating pie.
Now, turning to the non-fiction section in a different light, we encounter titles like "Mathematical Marvels: Exploring the Beauty of Numbers" and "Memes and Mathematics: Unexpected Connections in the Digital Age." While these books don't directly address the specific correlation we've unearthed, they tantalizingly hint at the possibility of a hidden link between internet memes and educational content. It's as if the library is trying to whisper a secret, but instead ends up shushing itself too loudly.
On the fiction side, works such as "The Meme Conundrum: A Digital Mystery" and "YouTube Yarns: Tales from the Digital Domain" offer imaginative narratives that play with the notion of internet culture and its enigmatic undercurrents. While these books don't provide empirical evidence, their fantastical tales mirror the surprising nature of our real-world findings, much like a cosmic coincidence that leaves you pondering the meaning of it all.
In a cinematic twist, movies like "The Social Network" and "The Matrix" – although not directly linked to our specific research topic – highlight the ever-changing landscape of digital interaction and the unexpected turns that await in the virtual realm. It's as if the silver screen is winking at us, hinting at the serendipitous dance of internet phenomena that we've decoded through our diligent data analysis.
As we wade through the diverse pool of literature and pop culture, our investigation takes a lighthearted turn, much like a joyful leap into a ball pit. With each step, we uncover the playful, unexpected connections that define the dynamic interplay of memes and digital content consumption. In the words of a wise dad at a barbecue, "When life gives you memes and data, add a dash of humor and watch the correlations unfold!"

Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.8037252 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 80.4% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Total likes of Vihart's YouTube videos) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the 'scumbag steve' meme) over the 15 years from 2009 through 2023.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 6.04E-6. 0.0000060374396997511515000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.9 in 0.000604% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 165,633 random variables You don't actually need 165 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 14 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 14 because we have two variables measured over a period of 15 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.71, 0.97 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
Try it yourself
You can calculate the values on this page on your own! Try running the Python code to see the calculation results. Step 1: Download and install Python on your computer.Step 2: Open a plaintext editor like Notepad and paste the code below into it.
Step 3: Save the file as "calculate_correlation.py" in a place you will remember, like your desktop. Copy the file location to your clipboard. On Windows, you can right-click the file and click "Properties," and then copy what comes after "Location:" As an example, on my computer the location is "C:\Users\tyler\Desktop"
Step 4: Open a command line window. For example, by pressing start and typing "cmd" and them pressing enter.
Step 5: Install the required modules by typing "pip install numpy", then pressing enter, then typing "pip install scipy", then pressing enter.
Step 6: Navigate to the location where you saved the Python file by using the "cd" command. For example, I would type "cd C:\Users\tyler\Desktop" and push enter.
Step 7: Run the Python script by typing "python calculate_correlation.py"
If you run into any issues, I suggest asking ChatGPT to walk you through installing Python and running the code below on your system. Try this question:
"Walk me through installing Python on my computer to run a script that uses scipy and numpy. Go step-by-step and ask me to confirm before moving on. Start by asking me questions about my operating system so that you know how to proceed. Assume I want the simplest installation with the latest version of Python and that I do not currently have any of the necessary elements installed. Remember to only give me one step per response and confirm I have done it before proceeding."
