On the website, popular culture has a manner of living past its expiration date. A popular song, film, or cartoon may fade from view, only to resurface years later and develop into something completely new online. Skeletor’s internet resurgence is an excellent case study (Skeletor Meme).

Skeletor Meme: Origin

After the official launch of the cartoon movie He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in 1983, the muscular blue demon with such a skull in place of his head became a cultural icon. The journey of He-Man, based on Mattel’s toy line, revolved all around the title character’s efforts to prevent Skeletor’s dark doers from defeating the planet Eternia. The He-Man franchise’s sword-and-sorcery stories as well as his proclamation “I have the power,” partly influenced by Robert E Howard’s Conan the Barbarian tales, were very famous all through the late 80s, such as in India, where the series was telecast on Doordarshan.

Eternia was doomed by the rejection of the franchise’s 1st as well as only live-action movie, Masters of the Universe (1987). Toys, comics, and spin-offs vanished, and a new cartoon movie did not air until 2002.

Cut to 2017: Skeletor is still running wild on the website, kudos to the Twitter handle @GrumpySkeletor. The story is inspired by different aspects of the personality, such as his disdain for He-Man, his repetitive efforts to defeat the bulky hero, as well as his sarcastic catchphrases directed at his superiors. Skeletor’s pessimism is combined with modern pop-culture citations to develop quips that he would almost certainly crack.

@GrumpySkeletor, who has more than 87,000 Followers on twitter, is only the most recent avatar of a Skeletor meme since the 2000s (Skeletor Meme).

Spread of Skeletor Meme

Skeletor first showed up as a meme on the internet in 2005. Fabulous Secret Powers, a comedic video of He-Man singing 4 Non Blondes’ 1992 hit What’s Up, was launched on YouTube. The clip was shared on multiple websites and re-blogged under multiple names, the most famous of which was He-Man Sings.

Skeletor yelled “Myaah” for a fraction of a second in the clip. Memes, fan art, and mixtape videos were created by removing the moment from its context.

This was preceded by “Inspirational Skeletor,” an image meta series that included snapshots of Skeletor from the 1980s cartoon movie as well as wise career advice.

Skeletor reemerged in a Honda internet campaign in December 2014, when the protagonist ‘took over’ the automaker’s Twitter handle.

Honda’s Twitter handle started tweeting quotations and photos of Skeletor outlining the advantages of possessing a Honda item. The brief advertisement was a foreshadowing of what Skeletor would become on Twitter thanks to the support of @GrumpySkeletor.
