>alberto barbosa da silva
can't shit makeup
Someone is memeing this over on /v/ and it caught me off guard and made me laugh like a retard.
Can you guys explain where this weird meme came from? When did this start? And why?
>>51582699
t. Alberto Barbosa
Alberto Barbosa was the philosopher-king who founded the Kingdom of Moortugal and the Mortuguese language.
>>51582699
People were shitting on Portugal in a thread, and a Portuguese fellow quoted everyone insulting Portugal as t. Alberto Barbosa, and he wouldn't stop.
Yes, I was there for the birth of the meme. I didn't know what it would become
WUZ
>>51582699
t. Alberto Barbosa
>>51582751
It goes back further than that
t. Alberto Barbosa
>>51582699
t. alberto barbosa
t. alberto barbosa
>>51582751
it's the opposite
everyone was mocking portugal, so when somebody would defend portugal, people would post "t. Alberto Barbosa", implying the poster was actually a portuguese in disguise.
There is also the typical response "Do you even know what this means?" but it has already been forgotten.

I went to check on the archives and found nothing. I just found more funny images shitting on Portugal for no apparent reason.
This is cracking me the fuck up and I need to find out where the fuck this started and why.
Google just shows more people being confused, most of them aren't even Portuguese.

Please lads, I know you're jealous I was one of the few to see a meme be born, but that's how it happened.
>>51582544
My psychiatrist is poortugeese, and I asked her if she knew t. Alberto Barbosa
She scowled at me and then she started yelling in poortugeese, and her husband came in, and he started yelling in poortugeese, and they were both yelling at each other in poortugeese. Then he stormed out of the room, and she returned to her seat, and sat there for the remaining 40 minutes with an angry look on her face, while muttering to herself and shaking her head at me.
I don't know what I did wrong, but it made me feel super uncomfortable.
Honestly, I'm glad Portugal is getting the recognition it deserves and getting it's own weird inexplicable meme
Please keep making Barbosa threads over on /v/, they really do crack me up.

Hey Reddit

damn you keep bragging on every barbosa thread that you made half the poortugal maps and that you made the maymays and shit
you truly are lame твн, it's okay everyone made maymays on 4chan and everyone is somehow frustrated when they see them used everywhere on the internets including 4chan, but you'll never get any glory out of it anyway
because that's the backfire of being anonymous
99% of the time you'll shitpost and not be accountable for it
but the 1% of the time you make valuable stuff, you won't either
pls stop

it ain't meant to be mean lad
Alright, I found the meme's origin, I can rest at peace now.
Some dudes kept posting image of statistics and changing Portugal to be as negative as possible, they then eventually started calling people who said the chart was wrong Barbosa.

And THEN some Portuguese guy (Or maybe a guy with a PT proxy) started spamming that more than anyone else until it became a thing.
Funny ass shit. Good going, /int/.

you can't """"""""make""""""" a """""""meme"""""""", you create content, and then it's up to the community to promote said content until it becomes a """""""meme""""""""

>mfw people don't even realise I invented the Alberto Barbosa meme
>>51583733
It's not me, I wasn't even online the time of that thread.
You can't assume all brazilian flags are the same guy, that's just stupid.
>>51582880
>>51582699
Nope you are both wrong
A Portuguese anon jumped into a banter thread to defend Portugal and an Ozzie just wrote t. Alberto Barbosa
That's it. Then the fire rised
>>51583634
that's why I wrote "meme", on quotes
the dumb french accused me of bragging on memes I made, it was just a reply to him.

>>51583826
This is the oldest instance of it.
Do you have an older one?
>>51583860
ok so it's the combination of the cakek version and mine
>>51583860
>>51583886
>>51583913
I think it started as Adalberto but then got shortened to Alberto
>>51583825
I can assume your '''''''''''''''OC screenshot'''''''''''''' is 3 posts above with an original screenshot filename
>>51583886
That's the origin of the Barbosa thing, but I'm guessing there were a few other threads before that one with the edited charts..
>>51583957
that is very similar to this filename >>51583886
pls don't bother responding this is embarrassing
>>51583950
Well yeah, because Adalberto is the Polish version. Alberto is what we actually say over here. My cousin is called Alberto.
>>51583957
It is mine though, as I said before, I created a few days ago and posted on /int/.
The thread you linked only shows that someone saved my screenshot.
If you want I can even point you to the original wikipedia article I took the screenshot.
>>51583967
>>51584008
>etymologytugal
>>51583996
it's ok
I'm not gonna bother looking it up, but shortly after I took the screenshot I posted it on /int/ and someone said "top kek m8" or something like that.
>>51584173
no, this was the first occurrence, there's a "view same" button lad, check it out
I'm sorry for your embarrassment tho, my first post said it all, you shouldn't take it personally, and stop lying
Nothing is personal in the land of the anonomoose
Portugal is a lovely place, on subhumans who live in a shithole and feel the need to project would be against based Portugal. Portuguese people are bro tier.

>>51584243
it's fine.
I'm starting to realize the thread you posted is the first time I posted the screenshot. But I didn't wait to see responses.
Anyway, this is the wiki page I took it from:

Portugal is a den of crime, heroin and meth addiction, rape, sodomy, pedophilia and suicide. Only Alberto Barbosa would defend it.
>>51582544
I'm trying to track this down too anon.
The image is from a recent expansion pack for Age of Empires II HD on Steam called African Kingdoms
the only feature I can find that makes sense is that Portugal is included as one of the new 'civilizations' you can play as.
(the others being Berbers, Malians & Ethiopians)

Stop compensating, everyone knows it took you 12 minutes to upload this
no one will blame you for a few artifacts, we sympathize
>>51584422
During the memes of painting maps to make portugal seem worse, people started saying portugal was africa tier.
Since the new expansion of Age of Empires called "The African Kingdoms" introduces portugal as a nation people started using the image of the African king as if he was the portuguese one.
