Since the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, one star has

shone brighter than all others, and his name is Barry
Wood. Images of the extremely well-endowed Mr
Wood sitting on his bed have gone viral across the
globe, quickly becoming part of the cultural
vernacular. But who is this mysterious man? And why
is the internet so obsessed with his enormous dong?

Earlier in the year, as coronavirus reports dominated

headlines, some hilarious social media users
performed the old ‘bait-and-switch’. They would post
a story with a seemingly abhorrent or unbelievable
COVID-19 update with a link to read more. When
users clicked the link, however, they were either
treated to an eye-full of Barry Wood’s pecker or an
edited meme of the original photo; a sort of ‘Prick-
Rolling’, if you will.

The meme of Barry Wood sitting on a bed, often

referred to as ‘Huge Penis Guy’ has become one of
the biggest internet sensations of 2020. So popular
is the original photo that online shops are now selling
t-shirts and merchandise with the big man
emblazoned on the front. Don Caldwell, editor in
chief of Know-Your-Meme revealed that the Wood
Sitting on a Bed meme has become the real hero of
the current pandemic.

“Of all the coronavirus-related meme entries on

Know-Your-Meme, Wood Sitting on a Bed has the
most interest in page views,” he said.

Throughout the boom in Barry Woods popularity, his

identity was a relatively hidden mystery, but now,
thanks to a new short-form documentary from VICE,
we know the full backstory on that infamous photo.
The man in question’s real name is, in fact, Wardy G.
Joubert III, and he sadly passed away in 2016.

It turns out, Joubert was a loving, church-going

family man. The dedicated community member
would hold fundraisers and help those in need, often
giving his last dollar to those less fortunate than him.
The VICE doco reveals that Wardy only did the shoot
after falling into financial hardship. And while it might
sound crazy, a decade after that photo was first
published, his real legacy is only just beginning.

“Because so many people developed an affection

for Barry Wood as a meme, they started to like
Wardy as a person as well,” Caldwell says in the
documentary.

A GoFundMe has been set up to get Wardy a

headstone and donations are flooding in, proving that
even amid a global pandemic, the power of memes
can bring us together.

Also, just FYI, his dong was photoshopped.
