On 5th of July 2011, YouTube made a global update on video player user interface and to everyone's disappointment the Nyan Cat custom progress bar was permanently removed.Īlso quite remarkable are the efforts made by some developers to recreate YouTube's progress bar and integrate it to different operating systems as a fancy replacement for some user interface elements. A screen shot was posted to Reddit the same day. On June 16th, 2011, YouTube enabled a custom flash player for the original Nyan Cat video that showed an animated mini Nyan Cat flying across the progress bar with a rainbow trail. On May 30th, 2011, LulzSec tweeted a link to a pastebin post saying that PBS was not hacked by SQL, but rather a "0day we discovered in mt4 aka MoveableType 4". They best watch where they're sailing next time. Anyway, unnecessary sequels aside… wait, actually: second and third Matrix movies sucked too! Anyway, say hello to the insides of the PBS servers, folks.

As you should know by now, not even that fancy-ass fortress from the third shitty Pirates of the Caribbean movie (first one was better!) can withhold our barrage of chaos and lulz. We decided to sail our Lulz Boat over to the PBS servers for further… perusing. We just finished watching WikiSecrets and were less than impressed.
LulzSec released the following statement explaining the motivations behind the hack: The group claims the hack was a reaction to the Frontline episode called "Wikisecrets", that some felt was biased against Wikileaks. On Sunday, May 29th, the PBS website was hacked by the group "LulzSec", and several of the website properties were defaced with Nyan Cat related images. This caused confusion among Slipknot listeners, and further spread the Nyan cat meme.
As of April 26th, 2011, Slipknot's "Psychosocial" music video page on YouTube has over 111,000 comments, with tens of thousands reading "NYANNYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYANYA" (example below, right). XDaZJMx's instruction quickly gained hundreds of likes, was featured as the highest comment, and many users began flooding the Psychosocial video’s comments with Nyans. The comment instructed other YouTubers to play the Nyan Cat video and hardcore rock band Slipknot's "Psychosocial" music video simultaneously in sync, which virtually resulted in a Nyan Cat audio dub (mirror below, left). YouTuber xDaZJMx commented on the original Nyan cat video by saraj00n telling viewers to watch Slipknot’s Psychosocial (muted) with the Nyan cat song playing in the background. Nyan Cat has been also briefly seen on Sprint's Nexus 4G "Cats" commercial, which featured a number of popular cat video clips. There are several remixes and spinoff variations of the original video circulating on YouTube, many of them customized with alternative characters and background music. On April 12th, the Tosh.0 blog posted the Nyan Cat video, as did CollegeHumor and G4TV. On April 10th, the Nyan Cat video was picked up by popular blogs and social networking sites, including Memebase, BuzzFeed, Tumblr, and Facebook among others. The video (shown below) gained more than one million views in its first two weeks. On April 5th, 2011, YouTuber saraj00n posted a video titled "Nyan Cat", using comic artist prguitarman's Pop-Tart Cat animation set to the well-known Japanese Vocaloid song Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya by Japanese artist Daniwell-P looping in the background, Although the song had been originally composed for Hatsune Miku to sing, The version used in the video was of the cover sung by the Utauloid Momo Momone. The GIF animation was also reblogged via Tumblr on April 2nd, 2011, accumulating more than 3,000 notes (likes & reblogs) in its first two weeks: Prior to the Pop-Tart Cat, prguitarman had already gained a relatively large audience with a few other instances of comics circulating on the web. The original drawing was based on his own Russian Blue cat, Marty, and was drawn after receiving two separate suggestions for a cat and a pop tart during a Red Cross charity drawing event on Livestream. The Pop-Tart Cat animation was posted on the daily comics site LOL-COMICS run by illustrator Chris Torres, also known as prguitarman, on April 2nd, 2011.
