Everyone We Have An Announcement To Make

Everyone We Have An Announcement To Make is a video remix format built on a 2018 clip of schoolchildren declaring 'Everyone we have an announcement to make: stop bullying.' Remixers swapped the ending phrase for absurd or vulgar payoffs, and the format hit mainstream after PewDiePie featured it in a YouTube compilation.

Overview

Everyone We Have An Announcement To Make is a video remix built around a short clip of a group of schoolchildren shouting the phrase 'Everyone we have an announcement to make: STOP BULLYING!!!!!' in unison1. The gag driving the format is the swap: remixers keep the earnest setup and the group cadence, then replace the anti-bullying punchline with something absurd, crude, or off-topic2.

Visually the meme is recognizable by the tight classroom framing, the kids' matching delivery, and the sudden yelled ending. It circulated in three main flavors, the untouched original, distorted 'deep fried' edits, and full re-shoots in which adults deliver the line with a different payoff3.

How It Spread

The remix wave started almost immediately. On September 23rd, 2018, YouTuber Muah posted a deep fried edit of the clip, which pulled in more than 17,000 views in under a month2. That same week, YouTuber Shook Jasmine put out a widely shared parody in which a group of men shout 'Everyone, we have an announcement to make: Eat ass!' The parody hit more than 44,000 views in under three weeks2.

The format broke out of niche YouTube on October 12th, 2018, when PewDiePie included the video in his compilation 'YOU LAUGH YOU LOSE *StaleMemes* YLYL,' which racked up more than 4.5 million views in its first week2. That placement pushed the announcement clip and its remixes to a much wider audience, and the 'stop bullying' line became a quotable tag on unrelated posts2.

How to Use This Meme

The typical remix keeps the group-shout structure of the original video and swaps only the final phrase for a joke ending. Common conventions include re-enacting the clip with friends, dubbing new audio over the kids, or running the file through heavy compression and saturation for a deep fried look2. The line 'Everyone, we have an announcement to make' also gets used on its own as a caption to set up a punchline in text form.
