About
The Most Popular Girls In School is a stop-motion video series on youtube about the adventures of two rival popular girls in a high school. The series has gained a large fan following.
Origin
The first episode was posted by Associates of Awesome in October of 2011. The episode features an argument between two girls concerning bathroom usage.
Spread
The series didn’t gain much attention initially, but as more episodes were posted, a small fandom started to grow. Thanks to the microblogging site tumblr, the series gained notoriety among users. Search volume reached an all-time high in January 2013 after tumblr user yazzdonut posted several drawings inspired by the series.
Individual phrases from the show became incredibly memetic, such as “Who the fuck said my handjobs are second rate” and “You were supposed to watch the door, Ashley Katchadourian”.
