Original Video
About
Gimme Pizza is the title of a rhyming singalong featured in the 1995 straight-to-VHS film “You’re Invited to Mary Kate and Ashley’s Sleepover Party.” The original video consists of Mary Kate and Ashley with 3 other girls trying to create their ideal pizza adding ridiculous toppings.
Although the original video was created in the mid-90’s for preteen girls, the video has experienced a resurgence in popularity among other groups due to an ironic appreciation of the video’s campy or kitschy qualities. In other words, people appreciate the video because it’s so terrible. This is similar to fandom of Kuso games.
Spread
The catalyst in sparking the video’s resurgence was the slowed down version uploaded by Youtube user philipmserious on September 22nd, 2010. As of October 25, 2010 the video has 1.6 million views. Many describe the video as “creepy.”
