But in a twist to what undoubtedly started as an innocuous smirking gag, the high schooler is polling high: registering 9 percent of the prospective vote in North Carolina, 8 percent in Minnesota and 7 percent in his home state. Deez Nuts, experts say, is now officially the most successful independent presidential candidate in 20 years.

The phrase “Deez Nuts” has had a bit of a renaissance of late, after its inception on Dr Dre’s debut release The Chronic in 1992. This presidential candidate aside, Instagram user WelvenDaGreat has helped bring it back with this viral video:
What a time to be alive.
