The origin of 'eyy guys'

It all started with this post, when I first read it on the internet...

"A gurl was walkin2 skewl wit her bf n they were crossin da rode
she sed “bbz will u luv me 4evr”
he said “NO..”“
da gurl cryed N ran across da rode b4 da green man came on the sine.
boy was cryin and went to pic up her body.
she was ded.
he whispered 2 her corpse “I ment 2 sey i will luv u FIVE-ever…” (dat mean he luv her moar den 4evr)
…reblog dis if u cry evry time…"

And I loved this post because it resembles both stupidity and sarcasm. And these kind of jokes are my type. I like listening to and cracking these type of jokes in a badinage. 'eyy guys' posts are a combination of absolute stupidity with ballast bad grammar and spelling mistakes which makes the reader realize that the joke is a product complete sarcasm and stupidity. The style of writing - the messed up language is adopted from 'Dolan comics'.

I started writing these posts and shared them on my page, the first 'eyy guys' post which I did got hardly 30 likes on a reach of 15,000 audience, the conclusion which I drew from this was - the people who like these kind of jokes and who have a similar way of thinking (when it comes to this kind of humor) are very few. I kept on writing to please the few people who enjoy these kind of jokes.
On the 17th 'eyy guys' post I finally got 100+ likes.

But however, people see this as an atrocity done to the English language and they usually start commenting things like 'RIP English' or 'y do do dis?' but these comments dont bother me at all, the funny part here is that the some people get annoyed at these comments more than I do. It does not bother me because I feel that the people who really understand the humor and message of the joke will laugh and be happy while others will detest it no matter what. Jokes are similar to music with respect to people liking it, some people like metal and some dont, same way some people like these kind of jokes and some dont.

I feel that the joke should not hurt anyone or attack anyone/any group, if it does then it's not a joke, its just a verbal barb with an intention to make someone laugh. -Off topic comment
 
I wanted to say thank you to all those people who support 'eyy guys' post. I will keep posting more anyway, have fun.
