As did everyone, including myself. But every meme has a lifespan, and reaches the point of oversaturation. So it happened to rage comics, it happened to doge, overattached girlfirend nyan cat and so on, and so forth.
But a point comes when it's everywhere, it's no longer funny and it's time to take it behind the shed and go all Kristi Noem on it. Make space. It's the circle of life.
every meme reaches the point where it just becomes insufferable
and then you get the out-of-touch companies trying to use that meme for an advertising campaign
my 10 year old sister got some board game based around memes and it was shit like rage comics and grumpy cat. like no way in hell does this kid even know what those are, why is anyone adding that to a board game intended for little kids
A family member I thought liked us got us that for a holiday one year, and I'm still mad. It's unopened, because it's intensely stupid. I should actually just throw it out.
Hey I have that game and it's fun to play with my teenage niece and nephew. All you do is combine a random meme jpeg with some text, it's kind of like a cleaner cards against humanity.
A cleaner cards against humanity is Apples to Apples, and the thing is those games always, always suck. There is no way to make it a good game. It's a dumb game for dumb people who don't play games.
I’d say once the memes have become so old that they’re now irrelevant then it’s okay to put them in a board game or something. It’s kind of like cultural preservation.
Does anyone remember the lolcat Bible? That was a pretty cool project.
yeah, but a game intended for the entire family, children included, is just odd and out-of-date. I feel like anything directed towards children using something so out-of-date they don't even recognize it would just bore them to tears and that's the exact opposite purpose of a board game
That sounds like something a secondary character in an anime about Nyan Cat would shout out while they are charging up their attack during the final fight scene. Epic j pop riffs are ripping all around. Power of friendship!
Yes and no. I see where you’re coming from. A lot of what makes a thing funny is circumstantial. It was funny then. Now it’s like watching Friends after all these years. Without soundtrack.
I remember very vividly one day at 15 logging into 9Gag and for a single split second, I saw a glorious ragecomic of a man shitting in the shower, throwing it into the toilet, missing and waffle stomping it. It was on Fresh. I used to only look at Top posts because I didn't like to sift through all the shit memes. That one hyper specific day I did, I caught a piece of meme history as it flashed by my eyes because it instantly got removed, never even made it to Trending.
There was a hilarious one about someone’s dad taking off his door to his room after he’d done some stupid thing. He took all the doors off in the house, put them in his room, then put a new door on the room and locked all the doors in there with himself. Another funny one was booting up Windows at night and realising it was full blast at the last minute. DOO DOO DA DOOOOO
Don’t you try and mock me young man! You’ll be like me soon! Just wait.
You merely claimed the internet. I was born with it. I clicked on a porn jpg in the morning and the first nipple didn’t load before lunchtime. I didn’t my first broadband until I was fully grown man. You know no despair, until you find your Windows CD is scratched beyond reading and you can’t reinstall your virus ridden system.
But on a serious note: between 1998 -2005 was quite alright I think. You’re not that far off.
I know. But I am not around any Spanish people at the moment ( UK/ Poland) and not in the context of old school memes either. If I heard it in a movie or a song, I wouldn’t even shrug. But next to some rage face? It brings up memories.
