In the viral edit, a person tries to shoo a raccoon away with a broom, but the animal charges back while a squeaky voice shouts “Hell nah cuh!” The phrase is an emphatic, informal refusal: roughly “Absolutely not, dude!” The animal did not say it. Two older clips were combined in 2026.
Where did the voice and video originate?
Know Your Meme’s October 21, 2026 account traces the voice to a January 10, 2014 YouTube upload by Hirashirou titled “hell nah cuz.avi.” It attributes the voice to creator k3frmsw while treating the earlier original upload as uncertain. Separately, Joe Matos posted “Mama raccoon in my garbage” on July 17, 2016, showing the animal rushing toward someone with a broom. The footage and the voice had separate histories.
Who put them together?
On September 23, 2026, TikTok creator @kymanss1 uploaded the combined edit, according to that record. It exceeded 1.7 million views in about a month. The joke is a reversal: the small animal being chased suddenly appears to be shouting its refusal and charging the much larger human. “Cuh” is a colloquial form related to “cuz,” used to address someone, not a name for the raccoon.
What spread beyond the original?
An October 4 repost passed 400,000 views; an October 6 slideshow pretending the raccoon spoke the line passed 845,000; and an October 11 Roblox recreation by @dahoodjosh4 exceeded 1.1 million. On October 13, an Instagram edit added Marvel’s Rocket Raccoon. These are individual post figures reported on October 21, not global totals.
Is this the same raccoon as Jimothy?
No: Jimothy is the unusually round Seattle raccoon that became famous in July 2026. The broom footage was uploaded in 2016. The confusion is real, though. Under an October 7 Snapchat Spotlight post, one commenter asked “WHY ARE WE DOGGIN ON JIMOTHY,” while others pointed out that the voice was added later. Those are actual visible reactions, not invented quotes.
How do you use the meme?
It fits exaggerated refusal or unexpected resistance from someone much smaller. A hypothetical edit could show a game character turning on the player who tried to remove it. That is an example, not a documented post; there is no need to provoke real wildlife.
Conclusion
A voice from 2014 met a charging raccoon from 2016 in 2026. Someone brought a broom to end the encounter; the internet brought a microphone.
