    History of “Crazy? I was crazy once” copypasta

    The earliest usage of “Crazy, I was crazy once” copypasta in internet was traced back to May 6, 1993 in a usenet group.  It was posted by Gary Wolfe as a tagline on May 6, 1993: Link

    I was crazy once (1993)
    I was crazy once...They put me in a little white room...I loved that room...I died in that room...When they buried me they put little white flowers on my grave that tickled my nose and drove me crazy...CRAZY I tell you...I was crazy once!

    A few years after that, the “Crazy? I was crazy once” pasta was then used by a usenet group called alt.support.depression, where it was posted on January 25, 1996, by an anonymous user. The post contained a longer version of the poem that included additional verses beyond the ones that are commonly circulated today. The whole poem in that post was:

    Crazy? I was crazy once (1996)
    Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a rubber room and told me to sit in the corner. In the corner, there was a round table and on the round table, there was a glass bowl and in the glass bowl, there was a silver key. I took the silver key and they said, 'Now you're sane.' Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a padded cell and told me to make myself comfortable. So I went to sleep on the bed and when I woke up, I was in a straight-jacket. I told them I was sane and they said, 'Now you're crazy.' Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a maze and told me to find my way out. I found the way out in five minutes and they said, 'You're a genius!' Crazy? I was crazy once.

    However, the “I was crazy once” copypasta goes way back even before the pre-internet era! Below is excerpt from a book written in 1968, Brunvand, Jan Harold. The Study of American Folklore: An Introduction. pg 118. 1968.

    The text above have been verified by viewing full scans at the Archive.org of the 1st edition (4th printing). This recitation is on page 118.

    I would like to credit and thank “and e” for digging these up and bringing it to my attention.

    I laughed so hard I thought I’d die (1968)
    "I laughed so hard I thought I'd die.
I did die.
They buried me, and a flower grew on my grave.
The roots grew down and tickled me.
I laughed so hard I thought I'd die.
I did die…"
    Bugs, I hate bugs they drive me crazy…(2015)
    Crazy? I was crazy once.
They put me in a rubber room.
A round rubber room
And told me to sit in the corner.
Corner? There was no corner
So I sat in the middle of the floor
Surrounded by rats.
Rat? I can't stand rats.
They tickled my feet.
They made me laugh.
I laughed so hard I thought I would die
Die? I did die in there.
They buried me in a hole.
A hole six feet under the ground
And that's when the worms came.
Worms? I hate worms.
They burrowed into my skull And started to eat my brain.
They drove me crazy!
Crazy? I was crazy once.
They put me in a rubber room.
A round rubber room
And told me to sit in the corner.

    I laughed so hard I thought I died

      Omg this video is so funny, this video is so funny I laughed so hard, I laughed so hard I threw my phone, my stomach hurt, my nose started bleeding and I fell of of my bed and then I laughed so hard that the vibration from my laughter caused me to slide across the floor like some kind of fucked up caterpillar. Then I laughed so hard that I cried. Then I laughed so hard that I began flying. I flew threw the roof of my house and continued to fly up up up, up into the sky and I continued flying upwards until I went to outer space, I laughed so hard I went to outer space. Then I continued to laugh and the radiation from outer space started to disintegrate my body, my body disintegrated but I continued to laugh. Then I met God, God wasn’t a man or woman, God was two different cubes with different colors and I transcended God because I laughed so hard. I transcended God into a world of light and laughter. I could not stop laughing, all I could do is laughter now. I miss my friends, I miss my home I hope that I can see them again but I know that I never will, because I will never stop laughing I will laugh for eternity.

      Oh my god. Your comment was so unbelievably funny that I cannot physically stop laughing. My vocal cords are vibrating so violently that I’m throwing up blood. My throat is producing so much sound for so long that parts of my spine have shifted out of place through the sheer vibration, causing me indescribable pain. My entire body from the shoulders up is visibly shaking due to the sound I am producing. My lungs are running out of air by the second. My entire body is screaming in pain. Anyone to see me in this state would assume I’m having a horrible seizure. The laughter reverberating in my ears has driven me to madness. The sheer hilarity of your comment, the pure and untainted comedy that you typed with your holy fingers blessed by the Lord has thrown me up the stairway to Heaven and delivered me to death’s door. I am well and truly dying laughing.
      I laughed so hard i committed several war crimes that included the mass genocide of many civilians from a small town in Afghanistan. My war crimes of course will never be told to anyone outside of the soldiers who were with me at the time that the war crimes were committed. I am able to maintain not going to military prison because I am threatening the life of anyone who shows the smallest signs of them reporting me to the authorities.
