Back to the end of the year 2005, the video written by Hu Ge ---A Blood Case Caused by a Steamed Bun", which triggered a vogue in Internet Kuso in China,has gradually evolved from a single cultural behavior into a cultural phenomenon in the internet and in our daily life as well.Typical kuso phenomenona show their specific features, such as the grass roots nature in the main body, the spoof and satire of parodic techniques, the original entertaining intention of the spoof, and the intertext of the spoof objects. There are four main elements stimulating the birth of the Internet Kuso, namely, the impact of post-modernism, the cultural consciousness of popular psychology,the convenient prevailing media network media , and the relatively free and open social environment. Being people-first natured, Internet Kuso has penetrated into people's daily life, and probably, is on his way to giving birth to a greater vaiety of culture entertainment product, to meet the cultural needs of the public. However, the shortcomings of the kuso have outstood evidently day day by day, which could be seen in the strong independence onclassic text, lack of depth, short of vitality and so forth. Therefore, a sense and wise view should be held on the Kuso phenomenon, and thus, blind following suit should be avoided.In the future, the parodic creation needs to absorb nutrition from both daily life and artistic creation; requires constant innovation to replace the superficial hodgepodge; has to enrich its connotation to enlighten the public by humanistic ideas, to add beneficial cultural elements for their life. Besides, the parody creators should thoroughly understand the daily life of the civilians, making sure that their kuso can not only reflect the real needs of the lower- classes, but also take the critic responsibility for, thus play an active role in the Internet development.
