# I Cri Evrytiem I Cri Evrytiem is a deliberately misspelled catchphrase that grew out of a Tumblr copypasta about a teenage love story called '5ever' posted in March 2011. The badly spelled sign-off 'lik dis if u crey evrytiem' turned into internet shorthand for mocking overwrought writing and became the standard sarcastic tag for trollpastas on 4chan, Reddit and YouTube. ## Origin Tumblr user Deathray-Deathray posted the seed copypasta on March 10, 2011, a short teenage romance titled '5ever' set in Comic Sans and closing with a plea to reblog or like if the reader 'crey'[3]. The broken spelling was part of the joke from the start, riffing on the sappy chain posts that had been drifting around social sites for years. - **Platform:** Tumblr - **Creator:** Deathray-Deathray - **Date:** 2011 ## Overview The joke lives in the spelling. Pasting 'i cri evrytiem' under a sappy story is a way to pretend to be moved while making it clear you are laughing at the writer's shameless bid for sympathy. Common variants include 'i cri evry tiem', 'i cri evrytim' and the longer 'lik dis if u cry everytim', all styled to look like the message of someone barely literate but overflowing with feelings. The phrase sits under trollpastas and bad fanfiction, where the point is that no one is actually crying[1]. YouTubers picked it up early as a title format for animated shorts and dramatic-reading videos that milk badly written source material[2]. It also works as a two-line comment where every word is misspelled on purpose, which is why the format slotted so easily into comment sections that already ran on ironic sincerity. ## How It Spread Copies and rewrites jumped to Blogspot, 4chan, Reddit and YouTube through the rest of March 2011, with early 4chan appearances on the /v/ (video games) board and OperatorChan's /cp/ (copypasta) board both dated July 13, 2011. On August 20, 2011, Redditor NickDigger submitted a screenshot of a YouTube-comment version to r/funny under the title 'And the winner for Youtube Comment of the Year goes to..' and it hit the front page after clearing more than 1,287 points[3]. Video creators kept the format alive after that. An early 2012 YouTube animation closed with a dramatic reading of 'Lik Dis If U Cry Evertim' and pulled millions of views[1]. Other YouTubers reused the misspelled title in the following years, with example uploads stacking up as reaction and parody clips[2][4]. The catchphrase settled in as a sarcastic sign-off for trollpastas and badfic across image-sharing and video comment sections, sitting alongside neighbouring misspelling gags like 'doge' speak and lolcats captions. ## How to Use Drop 'i cri evrytiem' or the longer 'lik dis if u crey evrytiem' as a comment or reblog under a badly written sad story, a trollpasta, a corny motivational post or an over-dramatic YouTube video. The whole point is the mangled spelling, so leaning harder on the typos ('evry tiem', 'liek', 'crey') makes it read as more clearly ironic rather than earnest. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is I Cri Evrytiem?
