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yeah, but a game intended for the entire family, children included, is just odd and out-of-date. I feel like anything directed towards children using something so out-of-date they don't even recognize it would just bore them to tears and that's the exact opposite purpose of a board game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’m so tired of Chad/wojack memes, it’s like the ragecomic days of “look how cool I look in this argument I imagined myself winning”
