The viral video that inspired the Da Vinky memes
The Voros Twins mispronouncing Leonardo da Vinci's name has become a hilarious meme.
There are just a few simple pleasures in this life right now (thanks, coronavirus…) but just when you thought 2020 couldn't be saved, here come the Voros Twins. The hilarious duo have given us Da Vinky memes and it's giving the internet a new lease of life.
On Wednesday (23 Sep), Da Vinky started trending on Twitter thanks to a viral TikTok video from Chris and Patrick Vörös, known as the Voros Twins. The Hungarian-Canadian brothers shared a video of themselves playing a trivia game where they answered general knowledge questions.
After getting several questions wrong, one asked: "Who painted the Mona Lisa?" The twins seemed to be completely stumped and wrongly said that Mona Lisa actually painted the Mona Lisa... The right answer then popped up on screen as famed painter Leonardo da Vinci. Struggling with the pronunciation, the twins yelled in unison: "Da Vinky?" And just like that the Da Vinky meme was born. The internet is now absolutely obsessed with the Voros Twins.
