# Okay Lets Go Okay Lets Go is a viral catchphrase clip from a 2014 Dutch TV segment in which a teenage Turbo Polyp ride superfan grabs a microphone and shouts the phrase. It resurfaced as a meme in 2020 and hit TikTok as a green-screen exploitable in August 2023. ## Origin The clip comes from a follow-up TV episode about Dutch superfan Maikel Van Hoof, uploaded to YouTube on January 29th, 2014 by the channel @kermistube[3]. An earlier 2009 program on Van Hoof, posted by @FlyLo123, established the Turbo Polyp obsession that the sequel expanded on by adding a younger fan to the story[1][3]. During the sequel segment, Joury Raaphors takes the mic on the miniature ride and delivers the operator's routine "Okay Let's Go!" line, which fans of the ride already recognized as a running Turbo Polyp catchphrase[3]. - **Platform:** Dutch TV / YouTube (source), TikTok (viral spread) - **Creator:** Joury Raaphors (on-camera teen) - **Date:** 2014 ## Overview Okay Lets Go is a viral catchphrase pulled from a Dutch TV segment about fans of the Turbo Polyp, a fairground ride[1]. In the clip, a teenage enthusiast holds a demonstration microphone next to a mini version of the ride and yells the phrase in the same singsong cadence used by real Turbo Polyp operators[3]. The teen, later identified as Joury Raaphors, is filmed in a bright yellow shirt with braces, grinning ear to ear as he calls the ride to start[3]. The core meme is either the raw shout used as an audio cue or a green-screened cutout of the teen dropped into unrelated backdrops with a caption teasing whatever is about to begin. ## How It Spread The 2014 video sat as a Dutch in-joke until July 16th, 2020, when the YouTube page @memesammler reposted a tight cut of the teen shouting the phrase, which pulled roughly 24 million views over the following three years[3]. Remix uploads followed within weeks, including an August 13th, 2020 edit by @djlightstar6589 that turned the shout into a beat drop[3]. On July 9th, 2023, TikTok user @clips..zz [2] reposted the clip and pushed it past 15 million plays in a month, restarting the trend on a new platform. On August 25th, 2023, TikTok user @igreenscreenthings [4] uploaded a green-screen cutout of the teen, which became the template layer for the exploitable phase of the meme. Creators then dropped the green-screened teen into unrelated POV setups, such as an August 29th, 2023 Twitter clip framed as a "Christian Party" that hit around 1 million plays in three days[3]. Brand accounts jumped in the next day, with @xiaomiuk using the cutout to tee up a cyberdog product post on August 30th, 2023[3]. ## How to Use The template typically pairs the green-screened cutout of the teen with a caption that names something about to start, then cuts or fades to whatever the punchline is. A common convention is to hold on his shout as the audio, then reveal an absurd or anticlimactic scene right after the phrase lands. The audio alone is often used as a transition sound in edits without the visual. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Okay Lets Go?
