The Joseph Ducreux Wheaton Wave (The Ducreaton Wave): A Guide to all Alternative Wheaton Waves

It all started with the life wishing of HoodRiverDuck. He wanted a Joseph Ducreux Wheaton Wave to make his life complete. And on the First of November, 2011, on the Tuesday of Happy I Hate washington Week. He posted his idea for the Ducreux Wheaton Wave, henceforth known as the Ducreaton Wave, along with the first picture accompanying it, and history was made.

The following day, the Jackson Wave and the The-Force-Is-Strong-With-Wheaton Wave were created. This guide also covers those. So whenever you need a pick-me-up, just bookmark this page.

Now, some of you may be asking yourself, who is Joseph Ducreux? (I was before I searched the Interwebz) If you recognize this internet meme...

via www.artexpertswebsite.com

... you know who Joseph Ducreux is.

Ducreux was a French Painter who lived in the 18th Century, and this painting is a self portrait of him that has gone on to be an internet meme, depicting popular culture in the 18th Century vernacular.

Now... on to the Ducreaton Wave with credit going to HoodRiverDuck, Benzduck, JShufelt, Quack Addict and myself.

If you would like to see the original pick with Jerry Allen's call, and I daresay you do, click HERE or HERE. I personally prefer the first video, but the second video has the added bonus of a cartoon depicting Jerry Allen's brilliance.

Jerry Allen's call starts off with:

"Huard is going to go back to throw the ball..."

Hood River duck translates this as being:

The next line, "Steps up, Throws towards the Corner of the endzone..", QuackAddict translates as being:

via memegenerator.net and QuackAddict

Then due to the excitement of participating in the Ducreaton Wave there are three accepted translations for the line:

"It is... INTERCEPTED! INTERCEPTED THE DUCKS HAVE THE BALL!"

The first comes from JShufelt, which contains an excellent reference to .Anatidaephobia (You know you want to Click!),

the second from myself,

and the third from HoodRiverDuck

Benzduck then translates the line

"TO THE 35! THE 40!"

via memegenerator.net

The two "KENNY WHEATON'S GONNA SCORE!" are translated by myself and HoodRiverDuck, although the first has two translations.

The line, "THE 20! THE 10!", has been translated to:

via memegenerator.net

"TOUCHDOWN! KENNY WHEATON!" is translated as:

via memegenerator.net and HoodRiverDuck

And the last line of Jerry's call, "ON THE INTERCEPTION! THE MOST IMPROBABLE FINISH TO A FOOTBALL GAME!", is translated to:

via memegenerator.net

And lo, the Ducreaton Wave was born.

Now, the socially accepted Wheaton Wave is still Jerry Allen's Call, but when you see a traditional Wheaton Wave (and there will be many this week) I encourage you to start a Ducreaton Wave below it, ensuring the point gets across and generating a few laughs. I also encourage you to view the Biblical Wheaton Wave, which was the precursor to the Ducreaton Wave.

The day after the famed Ducreaton Wave, there were a new two alternative waves: The Samuel Jackson Wave and The-Force-Is-Strong-With-Wheaton Wave. Here they are, picture by picture.

With apologies to Axemen23, because he won't understand the Pulp Fiction references, here goes:

As Takimoto says, whenever those evil Malamutes try to troll our precious blog, just pull out one of these alternative Wheaton Waves. Not only will they render any argument irrelevant, but it will also make you damn proud inside for the spectacular work done here at ATQ (Not to mention you laughing to yourself throughout the whole wave).

Thanks guys for reading this and lastly, HAPPY-I-HATE-wASHINGTON-WEEK!
