Joshuss

Joshuss is a fictional character and internet meme originating from a series of humorous and surreal YouTube videos uploaded by an anonymous creator in 2016. The character is depicted as a bizarre, exaggerated figure with an unnaturally elongated torso, disproportionately small limbs, and a face that appears to be melting or melting into a gooey substance. Joshuss is often shown engaging in absurd, nonsensical, or darkly comedic situations, such as wandering through empty streets, interacting with inanimate objects, or performing bizarre rituals.

The character gained popularity through a series of short videos that were later compiled into a YouTube playlist titled "Joshuss." The videos were known for their deadpan delivery, eerie atmosphere, and lack of context, leaving viewers to interpret the character’s actions and motivations. The anonymous creator, who never revealed their identity, maintained a low-key presence, allowing the mystery to contribute to the character’s cult-like following.

Joshuss became a meme and a reference point in internet culture, inspiring countless parodies, fan art, and discussions about its ambiguous narrative. The character’s unsettling yet oddly charming aesthetic led to its appearance in various online communities, including 4chan, Reddit, and TikTok. Despite its short-lived original run, Joshuss remains a notable example of early internet surrealism and meme culture.

The creator of Joshuss has not produced new content since 2016, but the character continues to be referenced in discussions about internet humor and viral phenomena. The anonymity surrounding the project adds to its mystique, leaving its origins and intent open to interpretation.
