00:00Sometimes, a meme blows up to be so big, so quickly, that it swiftly moves into ironic
00:09meme territory.
00:10Such seems to be the case for Hawk Tua.
00:12Hayley Welch, aka the Hawk Tua girl, is making the most of her 15 minutes of fame, as she
00:17participates in some fairly awkward interviews, has people speculating about her love life,
00:28and even plans business ventures like releasing a Hawk Tua sauce.
00:32Meanwhile, Hawk Tua irony is on the rise.
00:34The original Hawk Tua clip blew up on social media overnight, exponentially more so than
00:38your average meme, and before long, everyone on the internet knew what Hawk Tua referred
00:42to.
00:43This made the meme inherently divisive, however, with some more critical internet users relegating
00:48it to the normie or zinternet spheres of the web.
00:55This, in addition to its oversaturation in internet culture, led to memers churning out
01:00ironic Hawk Tua memes, basically making fun of people who enjoyed or overused Hawk Tua.
01:05The ironic memes usually involve Hawk Tua being mixed into memes with other old or dead
01:09memes that once saturated our timeline.
01:12Some of these also just use the terms Hawk or Tua in random ways.
01:16These ironic memes began to gain traction in late July 2024, with one of the earliest
01:20being a post from ex-users AbbatonFan69 referencing Dat Boi.
01:24Hailey has also been on countless podcasts and participated in countless interviews,
01:29some of which have gone more viral than others for various reasons.
01:32For example, on July 26th, Welch appeared on comedian Whitney Cummings' podcast, which
01:36was overall well-received as the pair had good chemistry and kept the interview light
01:40and fun.
01:41In the most notable part of the interview, Hailey reveals that one of her celebrity crushes
01:44is Matt Rife, and Whitney Cummings immediately FaceTimes the comedian and introduces the
01:49pair, to Welch's absolute shock.
01:51I asked Hailey her celebrity crush, and it's, yeah.
01:56Don't look at me like that.
01:57I'm Miss Hailey Welch.
01:58Rife, at some point, seems to determine that she's too young for him and asks how old her
02:02mom is, to which she replies,
02:04My mama's a f***ing kid, you don't want her.
02:06Is she an actual f***ing kid?
02:07Hmm?
02:08Really?
02:09Yeah, I'm a f***ing baby.
02:10Are you?
02:11Yeah!
02:12On July 28th, Welch appeared on the Club Random podcast, where she was interviewed by Bill
02:15Maher.
02:16And there were several fairly awkward moments between the two.
02:18Throughout the interview, for example, Welch keeps trying to set Maher up with her grandmother,
02:22to which Maher seems very opposed.
02:24Wait, I'm with your granny now?
02:25Is that what you're-
02:26I'm trying to set something up here.
02:29I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
02:31In another notable moment in the interview, Hailey expresses that she thought Canadians
02:35only used outhouses because they didn't have bathrooms, to Maher's complete befuddlement.
02:39They don't have bathrooms there, they just have outhouses.
02:41Canada's a very sophisticated country.
02:43Like every rising star, the internet has become fascinated with Hailey and with her love life.
02:48In the original interview that sparked her fame, she referred to someone she called Pookie,
02:52and implied that they were intimate.
02:53I love you, Pookie, forever!
02:56Since then, the internet has been trying to figure out who Pookie is and if he's her boyfriend.
03:00We gotta find Pookie people, man.
03:02Hailey has remained mostly quiet about the individual and what her relationship is with
03:06them, but did give a bit of insight when appearing on Nick Vile's podcast, The Vile File.
03:10Pookie was like a little situation ship.
03:12We're still involved with Pookie.
03:13Oh, yeah.
03:14How'd you meet?
03:15It's related to her.
03:16Hi, I'm Chelsea.
03:17I'm known as Hawk Friend.
03:18Is it still a situation ship?
03:20A little bit.
03:21Prior to you being famous, who wanted to be boyfriend and girlfriend more, you or Pookie?
03:25Definitely me.
03:26On July 31st, Welch posted to Instagram jokingly revealing who Pookie is, with the caption
03:31Swipe to the end for a Pookie reveal, and showed a picture of her standing next to Jelly
03:35Roll.
03:36Internet users have also expressed fascination with how she's taking advantage of her fame
03:39to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.
03:42According to TMZ, Welch has trademarked the phrase Hawk Sauce and Hawk 2-a-Sauce, with
03:46the intent of releasing a line of condiments in the future.
03:49She's also apparently trademarked the phrase Bet On That Thang as the tagline for a new
03:53sports betting service.
03:54What do you think of Hayley Welch and her newfound fame?
03:56She's a star.
03:57Yeah.
