Welcome to the realm of copypasta, where words take on a life of their own, transcending the boundaries of mere text. As a seasoned streamer on Twitch for over five years, I’ve navigated through the copypasta universe, unraveling its mysteries and bringing simplicity to your Twitch experience. In this article, we’ll embark on a journey to understand what copypasta is, its origins, its popularity on Twitch, and explore some of the best examples that have become legendary in the online world.
What is Copypasta?
Copypasta is the art of copying and pasting text, transforming mundane words into internet folklore. It’s a block of text that transcends its original context, taking on a life of its own across various platforms. A fusion of copy and paste, copypasta serves as a tool for humor, expression, and, sometimes, trolling. Often utilized in text groups, cartoons, or as a form of playful banter, copypasta has become an integral part of online communication.

1. Classic Examples of Copypasta
Navy Seals
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. Do you think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Free Art
You have made a massive mistake. Doing this for me would have made you a symbol in the world of intellect and literature. It is so typical for someone like you to forget this. It is so typical for someone like you to use abbreviated words. I was prepared to open your world to my knowledge and share my stories and art, with you. You will forever regret the choice you just made, so I will offer to let you do this project again. If you do not, you will have to face the consequences.
Just Do It
DO IT, just DO IT! Don’t let your dreams be dreams. Yesterday, you said tomorrow. So just. DO IT! Make. your dreams. COME TRUE! Just… do it! Some people dream of success, while you’re gonna wake up and work HARD at it! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! You should get to the point where anyone else would quit, and you’re not gonna stop there. NO! What are you waiting for? … DO IT! Just… DO IT! Yes, you can! Just do it! If you’re tired of starting over, stop. giving. up.

- Musk poured $44 billion into Twitter. The global population is 8 billion people. He could have given $5 billion to each individual and still had money left over. Most people’s lives would be changed if they received a $5 billion check. But he squandered it all on Twitter.
- I just punched a hole in my wall. I’m in tears. I’m not joking I’m actually freaking out right now. I feel like this is the angriest I’ve been in my life. I’m praying right now that this last year is a dream I’ll wake up from. Is there a way we can sue Naughty Dog for false advertising and maybe even the vandalism of a work of art?
- If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help. Follow the dog and you’ll get a free purse or wallet.
- T-pose! Sorry, I was just asserting my dominance… So you’re new here, right? Heh, I’ve noticed you’re a bit small there, you’re a little bit of a quiet potato. Me, I’m a big Chungus as you can see. Yeah, I’m in the band, uh, I play the trumpet. Yeah and maybe a little bit of trombone, y’know? If I’m feeling it, yeah? Do you go on Reddit? Do you like Rick and Morty? Me too! Do you watch callmecarson?

- I’m so sick of all these people who think they’re gamers. No, you’re not. Most of you are not even close to being gamers. I see these people saying “I put well over 100hrs in this game and it’s great!” That’s nothing, most of us can easily put 300+ in all of our games. I see people who only have the Nintendo switch and claim to be gamers. Come talk to me when you pick up a PS4 controller then we’ll be friends.

4. Greatest copypastas in Twitch’s
- While some viewers tune in for the gameplay, there are other viewers that will be there for the chat experience. If the stream’s just starting you may find the usual spammers performing their pre-stream routine with the following copypasta.
- “The stream starts, and so my spam begins. It shall not end until i am banned. I shall fear no mod, sub to no streamer. I shall live and die in the Chat. For i am the value in the bomber. I am the BM in the lethal. I am the salt in the defeat. I pledge my keyboard to the Chat, for this stream and all the streams to come.”
- As fun as spamming in the chat can be, not everyone will enjoy the commotion. There are viewers who don’t like the fast-moving chat, and the below is a copypasta that was probably created with an intention to stop spamming in chat. You can call it becoming a copypasta itself a cruel twist of fate.
- “wow, I log on to twitch tv to chat with people and to watch a good streamer, then you guys fking spam this chat with your dumb kappas and dumb sht memes that are not even close to funny. i don’t even giggle from your shtty jokes. fk you and if you fking copy this message in reporting each one of you. you all think your fking funny”
- Hearthstone is an excellent game, but losing when you’re playing perfectly can be a tough pill to swallow. The below copypasta covers all the well-known excuses that get thrown out when a streamer loses a Hearthstone match, and it usually gets copypastaed when the streamer starts explaining why they lost.
- “☑ ‘This guy’s deck is CRAZY!’ ☑ ‘My deck can’t win against a deck like that’ ☑ ‘He NEEDED precisely those two cards to win’ ☑ ‘He topdecked the only card that could beat me’ ☑ ‘He had the perfect cards’ ☑ ‘There was nothing I could do’ ☑ ‘I played that perfectly’”
- Twitch chat isn’t always filled with momentary reactions, and there will be times when meaningful conversations will take place between the viewers and the streamer. If you’re trying to have a conversation amongst a sea of spammers, however, you’ll have a tough time. Though the origins of the below copypasta are unknown, it’s one of the best anti-copypastas that eventually joined the dark side.
- “Ladies and gentlemen, I recently lost my job and am currently unemployed. Twitch chat has been my safe haven and comfort during this time. However, I come to this stream today and what do I see? A ridiculous amount of copypasting tomfoolery. Please, have respect for the intellectuals here and try to return to the days of glorious discussion in twitch chat.”
- Shia LaBeouf’s motivational Just Do It speech will be a part of internet culture for eternity. It consists of all the energy and encouragement you may need to get something done, but what if you need the opposite of what it stands for? The following copypasta usually gets thrown around when a chat tries to get a streamer to change their mind about doing something.
- “Do it tomorrow! So just quit! So just don’t do it! Nothing is possible! Anyone else would do it, you’re gonna wake up and quit. Don’t let your dreams come true. Success is impossible! You should be giving up. Just stop starting over, and quit. You’re gonna just give up. No, what are you starting over for!? Just give up!”
Rick Astley says he’d never give you up, but would he really? It’s hard to tell what he’d do in a paradoxical situation and the Twitch chat has the perfect scenario for Rick Astley. - “If you ask Rick Astley for a DVD of the movie Up, he won’t give it to you because he’s never gonna give you up. However, by not giving you Up as you asked for it, he’s letting you down. This is known as the Astley paradox.”
- Breakups are tough for all the parties involved. It almost feels like there isn’t a right way to handle them. If you’ve been trying to build up the courage to break up with your significant other but can’t seem to find the perfect way, you can try doing it with a message over Twitch. The emoticons should help to ease the pain while allowing you to express your emotions better.
