They found the "Kazoo Kid" from that meme and he's got gray hair
The question, "Wait a minute... who ARE you?" can finally be answered
Few things on the Internet feel purer than the original memes stemming from You on Kazoo!, a sing-a-long, play-a-long home VHS release from 1989 that prominently features a boisterous (somewhat demanding) child with a blonde bowl cut absolutely wilding out on his red, plastic kazoo of choice. Although the obscure piece of media was first uploaded to YouTube in 2011, its reedited 2014 compilation from the Dead VHS channel is what truly brought the clips to the Extremely Online masses.
It didn’t take long for “Kazoo Kid” to be identified as a guy named Brett Ambler, but other than a confirmation from the Kazoo Kid Man himself, there wasn’t much else to the story for years. Thankfully, the folks at Know Your Meme stepped up to the plate (yet again), tracking down Ambler last week for an interview revealing the long-forgotten, behind-the-scenes look at the making of the You on Kazoo! special. Our biggest takeaway? We’re getting old, man.
