Shamone!

Ayuwoki is one of the internet memes revolving around the late Michael Jackson. Ayuwoki is a deliberate misspelling of the lyrics "are you okay?" from Jackson's song "Smooth Criminal" which is said to be in tune with the Spanish take on the lyrics. An animatronic of Michael Jackson was made back in 2009, becoming popular after the death of the real Jackson. The video resurfaced again in early 2019 where an urban legend was attached to it saying that it would enter one's room at 3 AM to say "Hee-hee" in reference to the late Michael's vocal riff.

A game entitled Escape the Ayuwoki was released during the heights of the meme.


Ayuwoki provides examples of:

  • Ambiguously Evil: What it does to whoever it visits is unknown.
  • Gonk: Its eyes are misshapen and its mouth is fixed in an Unsmile.
  • Humanoid Abomination: Ayuwoki is a human-like android with yellowish skin and sports a fixed look in its eyes.
  • Things That Go "Bump" in the Night: Appears at the witching hour, whispering "hee hee" to its victims.
  • Tulpa: Some interpret the meme as the result of a subconscious mixing of Michael Jackson and fellow creepypasta Momo.
  • Urban Legend: This thing's obviously not real.....right?
