Conan O’Brien got the Chuck Norris fad started with a sketch he’d do where he’d interrupt boring interviews with a lever that would play clips of Walker Texas Ranger.
After that the internet ran away with it, but yeah it’s a meme as old as time
Yes, something awful writers are not surprisingly late night fans. They saw what Conan was doing with Walker, and they ran with it. Chuck Norris was already a forgotten nobody in 2005, it’s not like he just popped back into the lexicon out of nowhere. Conan reminded people of Chuck’s cheesy badass schtick, and after that the jokes rolled in. Vin diesel jokes were getting old so they replaced him with Chuck
Fuck Chuck Norris, he is a bigoted piece of shit and religious nutjob.
Texas ranger indeed
Also the Texas Rangers have always been a gang of racist scum bags who have a history of atrocities. That tv show turned them into Heroes
Came here to say this. Fuck the Chuck
Yeah the cute Chuck Norris jokes wore out years ago, probably around 2016 when he went full Maga
I remember at the height of the Chuck Norris memes, there was a small effort to change it to Vin Diesel.
Vin isn’t a piece of shit, too, is he? 🤔 Cuz it might work now.
Are we 100% sure he isn’t one of the guys from Right Said Fred?
He wasn’t on there when they played on Last Week Tonight

Other way around, it was Vin Diesel before it suddenly became Chuck Norris.
It was actually Conan O’Brien who started the Chuck Norris craze and people online ran with it
Conan started a segment where he played a clip from the show Walker. Completely unrelated to the line of jokes.
The “facts” Jokes came from Something Awful and was about Vin Diesel, it got changed to Walker later on.
