Sweet Brown: Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That

December 17, 2012 · 7 comments

There’s a meme going around with a punchline of Sweet Brown’s famous words, “Aint’ nobody got time for that”. I see pins on Pinterest all the time and often hear people tweet about how ‘ain’t nobody got time for that’, so I finally took the time to figure out where this originated from.

Basically you have people on YouTube who take REAL news stories and turn them into funny auto tunes songs. We saw it happen first with Antoine Dodson when he gave a real journalist his account about going after a man who broke into their home:

And then YouTubers made his energetic eye witness testimony into a song:

Sweet Brown is one of the latest victims in this game (last April)….here is her original news story:

And then the auto tunes version (quite catchy I might add):

The whole thing went viral and that’s how the meme was born. Now we are graced with images like these on Pinterest:

So now you know!

Anytime somebody asks you to do something you don’t want to do or you see a ridiculous pin on Pinterest (nail art), you just respond by saying, “Ain’t nobody got time for that” and BOOM…you made a joke.

Truer words have never been spoken.

OMgoodness, Sweet Brown is hilarious! Her and her son were on the news after her original segment, she made a local commercial and now she is on instagram, (which I am not but both my sisters follow her and keep me informed). In fact she was also on Tosh.0, and Jimmy Fallon recently too. “I went to get myself a cold pop” <— who says that! wahaaaa. Luv her. Sweet Brown needs a few TV cameos, she seems genuine and funny, a born entertainer.

I am soooooo taking this and running with it… “AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!” AMEN! (btw- did you see the “silence for all bloggers today”? I figured you may not have been aware… check my post to see the image that has been passed around.
