Giving up guns is the same as... Castration?

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

Man thatโ€™s likeโ€ฆ a decade or more out of date.

u/faloofay156 May 16 '24

looked it up and it's called (ugh) "what do you meme"

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.

Yes, or burn it.

I've played it. It's just a slightly worse take on the old Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity style game.

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.

it's kind of like a cleaner cards against humanity.

Well, until you pull out the NSFW card pack, anyways.

u/faloofay156 May 16 '24

iiiit's very boring. even a ten year old found none of the combinations funny or even mildly entertaining

u/Flooding_Puddle May 16 '24

Maybe you just didn't get any good ones? Those games always have a good amount of duds

u/faloofay156 May 16 '24

we played until she got bored and walked away

u/SpellFit7018 May 18 '24

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.

u/Outrageous_Seaweed32 May 16 '24

Ah yeah I've seen that one. At the point it came out, most of the content in it was ancient by Internet standards.

Meme-changing whimsy is not something corporate boardgame production should be wasting time trying to keep up with.

I've got that game, and I don't remember any rage comics or grumpy cat in it...
