The Bongcloud opening is famous from Hikaru Nakamura who uses it as a 'meme' opening in his live streams.  It's an absolutely horrible opening as it makes it so you can't castle and you guarantee you lose tempo but Hikaru's good enough to do it and still win which is why it's so funny.

This was Carlsen vs Hikaru at a very big tournament.  Carlsen played the bongcloud opening against the creator (Hikaru) and because the game literally made no difference they drew by repitition. This was in a pretty big tournament as well, which makes it that much more iconic.  You will probably never see this played again.

Here's the full video by Hikaru himself.  The commentators couldn't even contain themselves.
