It also was part of the meme that the fridge also needed to lie about food being inside of it otherwise papa would punish it. The Family Is Held Captive Īgain, in late 2018, after Billion Suprise Toys released another video, it became a bit of a meme that Papa was holding the family captive and refusing to let them eat, such as when, in a video, Johnny Johnny displays literal fear upon hearing the father ask if he was eating breakfast. Firstly, because of the unclear copyright status of the song itself, secondly because American copyright law permits parodies as a form of fair use, and thirdly, because the UAE (Billion Surprise Toys' native country ) allows for "The reproduction of the work for the purpose of personal, non-profit and non-professional use" under their fair use laws. This move was considered controversial for various reasons. Shortly after the song went viral, Billion Surprise Toys began to issue aggressive DMCA takedown requests for videos and images derived from its own videos published on social media. The Verge went on further to explain that "Each video features a child and their family lying to one another as a form of affection." The Verge, Mashable and New York Magazine found "remixes" by Billion Surprise Toys, one featuring an anthropomorphic refrigerator (as the liar), to be particularly absurd, even when compared to other "Johny Johny Yes Papa" videos. The song's popularity has been attributed to the Elsagate phenomenon of potentially disturbing or absurd YouTube videos being algorithmically shown to children through the YouTube website and the YouTube Kids app. The various videos by edutainment channels were subsequently described as "terrifying", "disturbing", "nonsensical" and "a godforsaken nightmare". This version prominently features Johny and his father doing popular dance moves such as the " Gangnam Style" dance, and intertwines the original lyrics with a repeated " doo-doo-doo-da-doo" to the melody of " Baby Shark". The song became an internet meme in August 2018, with one version by the Indian channel Billion Surprise Toys-a company with 16 million subscribers to its YouTube channel-going particularly viral on Twitter. Another video was listed in 2015 by The Daily Dot as one of eleven "unintentionally disturbing" YouTube videos for children.

It was also featured on YouTube as a nursery rhyme in 2009 by the channel Shemrock Nursery Rhymes. The song was featured on YouTube in 2007, where it was used in an Indian commercial for the 5 Star chocolate brand.
