Skippa da flippa lied[edit]

Skippa da flippa did not invent the dab, it was Sportacus from the Icelandic show lazy town. The very first episode Sportacus dabs, and that episode was aired in 2004. If you want me to link more evidence just say so, Sincerely, Joshdast Joshdast (talk) 22:55, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The start of the trend is easier to defend, so maybe it should just be left at that, or it could just say something like "mid- to late-2010s". Yohoskebon (talk) 22:28, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
