Videos of Kamala Harris saying “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” are everywhere. Here’s why – and how a throwaway remark during a 2023 speech from the Vice President – who now looks likely to be the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential candidate – became a viral phenomenon.
On Sunday 21 July, President Joe Biden announced that he was dropping out of the presidential race. He then endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris , as the new Democratic candidate. Immediately, social media was flooded with coconut emojis, as well as viral videos – many playfully remixed with pop songs – of Harris uttering a catchy yet out-of-context line: “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
And if he did drop out, who would replace him? Harris emerged as the front-runner. Her supporters, known as the K-Hive, began recirculating the clip. Soon, it was getting remixed and memed – particularly on TikTok, where a number of videos went viral. Why did it become a meme? “You think you fell out of a coconut tree?” is a bit of an earworm, yes, but the phrase likely caught on for other reasons too.
