The Untold Story of Iridocyclitis Kid: From Spelling Bee Champ to Living Meme

In 2015 a young man named Dev made it to the US National Scripps spelling bee. After a hard-fought gauntlet of challenging words, he was eventually knocked out of competition, at a highly respectable 4th place. One might imagine a 4th place finish would qualify one for any sort of fame, but thanks to a clip of Dev misspelling "Iridocyclitis" going viral on Vine...Dev got more fame than he ever wanted. Many are familiar with the Iridocyclitis vine clip, but few are familiar with the incredible story of the boy behind the clip itself. From Scripps national bee contender to living meme, this is the story of the Iridocyclitis kid.
