# Nigga Stole My Bike Nigga Stole My Bike is a mid-2000s catchphrase attached to a still from the 1987 Nintendo boxing game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, showing Little Mac's coach riding off on a bicycle. Something Awful user Allanon858 posted the captioned screenshot to a Photoshop Phriday contest in March 2003, and the pairing sparked a YTMND audio-loop fad with more than a thousand derivative pages by 2012. ## Origin The catchphrase descended from "Nigga stole my TV!", a phrase that appeared on the OffTopic.com forums around 2002[3]. On March 20, 2003, Something Awful ran a Photoshop Phriday contest titled "Video Game Heroes Gone Bad," and forum user Allanon858 submitted the Punch-Out!! screenshot with the caption applied, marrying the earlier phrase to the training-scene still[3]. - **Platform:** Something Awful (image origin) / YTMND (viral spread) - **Creator:** Allanon858 - **Date:** 2003 ## Overview The template pulls its still from Punch-Out!!'s training sequence, where boxer Little Mac jogs behind his coach on a bicycle[3]. YTMND creators built pages that looped short audio clips, often the spoken phrase or a rap hook, on top of the pixel art, producing a two-sprite chase gag that ran across the site for years[1]. Variants kept the same image layout but swapped the stolen bike for different objects (TVs, phones, a Katamari) or replaced one of the sprites with an unrelated character[4]. The joke's shape is fixed: one figure hollers the caption while the other flees on wheels, with the loop timed so the chase never ends[1]. ## How It Spread On June 3, 2004, the first YTMND page built around Allanon858's image went live, looping the beat from Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz's 2003 track "Get Low"[3]. A month later, user Duezce uploaded a follow-up that swapped the audio for a male narrator saying the catchphrase, and that version set the template for imitators[1]. By April 2012, more than a thousand YTMND pages carried "stole my bike" in the title, including sequel-style pages like NSMB: The Live Action Movie and Nigga Stole My Bike: The Movie[2][5]. The image and its remixes also cropped up on eBaum's World, FunnyJunk, and the GameTrailers forums[3]. Urban Dictionary added an entry on August 24, 2005, and a small Facebook fan page sat at 222 likes by April 2012[3][4]. ## How to Use A typical NSMB page keeps Allanon858's Punch-Out!! still centered on a solid background and loops a short audio clip, often the spoken phrase or a rap sample[1]. Common remix conventions include swapping the trainer's bike for another object or replacing one of the two sprites with an unrelated character, while keeping the endless chase loop intact[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Nigga Stole My Bike?
