About
Gabe the Dog Remixes are a series of YouTube Poop Music Videos (YTPMV) which typically feature various music tracks dubbed over footage of a miniature American Eskimo and Pomeranian dog named Gabe.
Origin
Gabe the Dog was owned by the Canadian YouTube user deathtrips, formerly known as gravycp.[1] On January 8th, 2013, a video Gabe barking titled "The New Dog Source" was uploaded onto the gravycp account, where it gained over 60,000 views in the next three years. On November 1st, 2014, deathtrips posted the video "Newest Dog Source" of Gabe (shown below, right).
Spread
One of the most popular remixes was created by the YouTube user shaliek, which featured the Herp Alpert song "The Midnight Tango"; this remix has been viewed nearly 400,000 times since its January 27, 2013 upload. On February 6, YouTube user Lewdachris uploaded a remix featuring the song "Time to Air" by 青龍, which was viewed over 130,000 times. On June 14, YouTube user skylark uploaded a remix featuring "I Am A God" by Kanye West, which has been viewed over 160,000 times. On July 4, 2014, YouTube user widddddd uploaded an edit which swapped Gabe's bark with the word "fuck" taken from a video of a teenage boy, which received over 150,000 views.
deathtrips himself created several popular remixes, including a remix of "We No Speak Americano" by Yolanda Be Cool, which was viewed over 200,000 times, and a remix of "The Next Episode" by Dr. Dre which was viewed over 175,000 times.
Death
On January 20th, 2017, the Gabe the Dog Facebook page posted an announcement that Gabe had passed away the previous morning due to heart complications. The post received thousands of reactions and comments within an hour of being published, with many expressing their condolences and honoring Gabe's memory.[2]
"It is with condolences that I must tell you Gabe passed away yesterday morning. He had been struggling with his heart for quite some time, and it very suddenly became worse. He went peacefully, being loved with his family with a smile on his face."
That day, threads dedicated to Gabe were created on 4chan.[3] and Reddit.[4][5]
Various Examples
Search Interest
Editor's note: The interest spike in August of 2012 is due to the release of the movie Gabe the Cupid Dog. Anything after that may be interpreted as relating to the meme.
