the buck breaking movie and subsequent meme happened right when i was in my last year at college. i was taking bs classes just to pump my gpa after i got all the important shit out of the way in my first 3 years. one of the classes was "history through film." in it we would watch all sorts of stuff, and then a week into me staying up all night on /tv/ laughing my ass off, we watch roots. the auction scene where they're talking about all the prime bucks they have for sale almost made me lose it, but i managed to keep my cool. then the last scene of the second or third episode, the "i'll break you nigger" scene, finally got me. everyone else was watching and feeling awful for old geordi, but i broke out into a crazy laughing fit. i had to run out of the classroom and to the bathroom. i laughed for 15 minutes straight, and one guy that came into the bathroom during asked if i need an ambulance because i was laughing so much and he assumed something terrible was going on. i didn't go to that class for a week after that, and then one day i just showed back up and pretended it didn't happen. got an a- in the class, loss of some attendance points hurt me.
