About

"Marge Krumping", also known as "Marge Dance," is a photoshop meme based on an exploitable still shot of The Simpsons character Marge Simpson trying to krump, a style of hip hop dance characterized by highly energetic and expressive movement of one's head and the limbs.

Origin

The image stems from Episode 6, Season 19 of The Simpsons titled "Little Orphan Millie"[1] in a scene where Marge tries to cheer up Bart by attempting to krump,[2] albeit unsuccessfully. The earliest known use of the exploitable can be found in a two-panel image of Marge trying to krump after looking at a digital clock that displays "420", a time popularized in stoner culture as the time of day to smoke marijuana, which was posted on January 26th, 2016, to The Simpsons Shitposting page[5] on Facebook (shown below, right). The post garnered 1,800 likes and 1,000 shares within the first week.



Spread

On January 30th, a Facebook page[10] dedicated to the curation of the meme was launched under the name " Marge-Core." On January 31st, a photoshopped instance of The Top Ten Anime List parody that depicts Marge Krump battling Vegeta, a recurring character from Dragon Ball, was uploaded to Tumblr[3], where it accumulated over 50,000 notes in just over 72 hours. On February 2nd, Tumblr user Pickleplayer[4] uploaded a photoshopped GIF of Marge doing the Shoryuken move in a Street Fighter battle, where it gained over 16,000 notes. The two Tumblr posts have since inspired a slew of additional parodies, which can be found under the search query "Krumping Marge" on Tumblr.[6]
