About
Apu Apustaja ("Help Helper" in English) is a poorly drawn variation of Pepe the Frog created in the style of Spurdo Spärde. While originally popularized on the Finnish image board Ylilauta, the character is also frequently posted on 4chan where he is referred to as "Helper."
Origin
The character is rumored to have originated from the Finnish image board Ylilauta. While no archived threads exist, Google search records indicate the phrase "apu apustaja" began appearing on the site in January 2016.[5]
Spread
On January 14th, 2016, the "Apu Apustaja" Facebook page was launched.[6] On March 25th, an anonymous 4chan user submitted the Apu Apustaja version of Pepe captioned with a misspelled sentence about a "food help helper" to the /b/ (random) board (shown below, left).[1] The following day, a similar thread was submitted to /b/ in which the character complains that his "food help helper" was missing (shown below, right).[2]
On April 19th, a thread featuring various illustrations of the character was submitted to the /int/[4] (international) board (shown below, left). On October 2nd, 2016, an illustration of the character was submitted alongside Pepe the Frog-themed parody lyrics for the theme song from the science fiction television show Firefly to 4chan. The following day, a screenshot of the post reached the front page of the /r/4chan subreddit (shown below, right).[3] Apustaja has since become one of the most popular Pepe variants and is widespread. The Apustaja subreddit has over 12K members[7] as of late May of 2022.
Related memes
With time, variations of Apustaja would evolve over time such as Bobo the Bear bear to represent the bearish markets on the 4chan /biz/ board. One popular meme Apustaja is often paired with is Ashbie Moon which seems to be a parody of "The The Princess and the Frog". Kohler is an illustration of various other memes based on a smug Apustaja template.

Translates better as Help Helpar since 'apustaja' doesnt actually mean helpet but 'avustaja' does.
First seen in Finnish meme site Naurunappula.

Hey KYM users, I might have found ancient source for apu.
I'm not a professional editor, but me and another guy found this imgur post:

It shows one of the most iconic apu apustaja pictures, and OP claims it's OC, and it also PREDATES every reference to apu listed on this page by at least half a year.
I thought you editor experts should see this at least.

Even if you were right (you are not), entries get deadpooled at most if they are at least well written. And this one was made by Don, so… no.

This one could actually work well for a "nicer" version of Pepe, as Pepe's creator would have people do. The original one is probably beyond helping its reputation, but this one is new, so who knows.
It is a very Dolan-esque version, though, so it gives itself more for parody than anything else…

Things that happened for a 100. Firstly, the meme mocks whoever is depicted. Secondly, in reality there were probably three posts and it was the same guy responding to himself. Because you're 15 and such a hardcore mr. memer, you didn't understand that immediately.

On the topic of new Pepes, when is Fresh Pepe getting its own entry? It's used pretty frequently on 4chan nowadays, but I guess we'd need some more info on it before this little guy gets his own spotlight.

I remember a comment on Breitbart saying that the only reason Pepe was still alive as a meme was his alt right connotation. I guess that's no longer the case right now
