Who needs the RuPaul’s Drag Race crown when you have the top GIF of 2019? Jasmine Masters, who competed on the show’s seventh season and fourth All Stars season, went viral this year with her iconic “And I oop!” phrase, and now GIPHY has recognized her legendary status.

In case you somehow lost your Internet connection for months on end this year, Twitter users seized upon a 2015 video in which Masters complains about people who can’t handle their alcohol. But she suffers a terrible fate at one point in the video when she shifts her weight to the left. “And I — oop!” she says. “I just hit my balls.”

Well ya know, the gay mainstream (white and latin gays) love black gays/trans (drag queens, Biliie Porter, etc.) but only when we’re camp. Just like the rest of America. Of course, this is not meant to take anything away from Jasmine, especially since most of Jasmine’s commentary is far more “woke” and poignant than what floats around on the majority the internet. But truth is truth.

But they haven’t caught on to people like Norman Freeman yet. She’s camp, but there’s an edge there. I’m waiting to see whether she’ll have a breakout moment.
