‘And I oop’ is having another moment and the memes are too good for this world

If you ever find yourself in need of something to say in the mortifying seconds after you realize you’ve make a mistake, consider this timeless, charming phrase: “And I oop.”

If those three short words sound familiar, it may be because they’ve been floating around the internet since October 2015, when Jasmine Masters — a drag queen best known for competing on Season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race — iconically uttered them in a video titled “Jasmine Masters handle your liquor.”

Around the 4:30 mark, the discussion about people needing to know their drinking limits came to an abrupt end when Masters exclaimed, “and I oop!” After taking a few minutes to recover, Masters went on to explain, “I just hit my balls.”

Since the video was uploaded to YouTube, the good people of the internet have given “and I oop” the meme treatment, imagining alternate scenarios for the phrase and dubbing the audio over other hilarious clips. After @eazy_a_714 shared the Masters clip on Twitter in March, the love for “and I oop” returned in full force.

As “and I oop” memes make the rounds online yet again, let us take time to marvel over some of the best jokes based off of the mood-changing three words. (The pig video deserves some sort of award.)

Masters has addressed the love for “and I oop” several times on social media, posting video compilations of fans saying the phrase along with “and I oop” songs.

There’s even been some “and I oop” merch made.

Be warned, once you “oop” there’s really no going back. I know because I’ve said the phrase out loud at my desk at least 10 times while writing this article.
