It's Me, It's Verity

It's Me, It's Verity is a fan song and music video that YouTuber Horror Skunx uploaded in July 2026 for the Minecraft ARG web series Verity. The track blew up on TikTok and Instagram Reels through late July and August 2026, spawning a wave of edits that swap the smiley-faced character for other figures.

Overview

The meme centers on the song's hook, in which the smiley-faced assistant sings a soft, plaintive "hey, it's me, it's Verity," a line fans clip out and stitch into their own edits1. Common versions keep the vocal intact but swap the character's yellow face for a fatter, ruder, or unrelated cartoon stand-in, with the earnest sing-song delivery doing the comedic heavy lifting2.

Because the source is a fan tribute rather than official Verity material, the tone sits somewhere between sincere and ironic, which lets creators push edits toward shock humor, cover songs, or oddly specific visual jokes without breaking the format4. The character being a horror-ARG antagonist adds a second layer, since the sweet melody sits under a design that fans of the ARG read as sinister3.

On July 10, 2026, YouTuber Horror Skunx uploaded the fan music video to their channel, written from Verity's perspective and set to animation of the smiley-face personal assistant from the Minecraft horror ARG and web series Verity1. Within a month the video pulled over 17 million views, 199,000 likes and 30,800 comments, giving the song a huge base of listeners before any remix trend hit4.

How It Spread

The first big remix landed on TikTok on July 22, 2026, when @scheisspost swapped Verity for a large yellow character called Obesity and kept the song underneath. The edit passed 9 million views in four days and set the template for follow-ups2. On August 9, X user @AriTheAriGuy tweeted "verity if he was naked: hey it's me, it's nudity," which picked up over 26,000 likes in two weeks3.

Instagram creator @fatguynamedbigcheezy posted a straight-faced cover of the song on August 17, 2026, hitting 22,900 likes in nine days5. Three days later, X user @LiamBeUponYe shared an image of a September 11th memorial pin whose sad yellow face read as Verity, captioned "Hey 😢 it's me 😢 it's Verity 😢," which passed 33,000 likes in six days6. On August 24, TikToker @whyk4re posted another edit set to the song and pulled 1.9 million views in two days, keeping the trend active into late August7.

How to Use This Meme

The typical edit keeps the Horror Skunx audio and cuts the visuals. Common approaches include replacing Verity's face with a differently-shaped yellow character (as with Obesity), doing a lip-sync cover, or pairing the vocal with an unrelated image whose expression matches Verity's, then punning on the name in the caption ("it's me, it's nudity," and similar swaps).
