# Mr. Caffeine During Ubisoft's E3 2011 press conference on June 6, 2011, hired pitchman Aaron Priceman performed as Mr. Caffeine and mimicked a time machine sound by saying 'doodly doodly doop' before each retro-themed franchise video. Audience silence, repeated mispronunciations of Tom Clancy as 'Tom Cuh-lancy,' and a flubbed delivery made him a target by nightfall, when YouTube users began uploading metal, Sparta and YouTube Poop remixes of the flashback bit. ## Origin Ubisoft's 25th anniversary press conference ran on June 6, 2011, during E3 week in Los Angeles, with a block of videos imagining current Ubisoft franchises as if produced 25 years earlier[4]. Priceman, a professional pitchman who performs under the stage name Mr. Caffeine, was hired to host that block and preface each clip with the 'doodly doodly doop' flashback vocalization[1]. The full presentation was uploaded to YouTube the same day, where viewers caught the awkward timing, the mispronunciations and the dick jokes alongside the actual Ubisoft announcements[1]. - **Platform:** E3 2011 live broadcast / YouTube (viral spread) - **Creator:** Aaron Priceman (Mr. Caffeine, Ubisoft E3 2011 host) - **Date:** 2011 ## Overview Priceman's bit revolved around a running gag where he introduced each retro-styled Ubisoft video with a flashback effect, waving his hand and vocalizing 'doodly doodly doop' to sell a time-travel joke[1]. Writers compared the sound to the 'diddly-doot' flashback cue from the 1992 comedy Wayne's World, suggesting he was reaching for a familiar reference but missing the delivery[4]. His other on-stage material included a 'poop on your toothpaste' aside, dick-joke asides, an 'absolutely epic fail right here, yikes' line, and multiple mispronunciations of Tom Clancy as 'Tom Cuh-lancy'[4]. Clips typically isolate one Priceman moment, usually the 'doodly doodly doop' hand gesture or the 'epic fail' line, then loop it, pitch-shift it, or score it to music. Metal covers, Sparta remixes and YouTube Poop edits appeared the same day as the broadcast[3], and gaming blogs recirculated the clip whenever E3 host duties returned to discussion[6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Mr. Caffeine?
