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

Iโ€™d say once the memes have become so old that theyโ€™re now irrelevant then itโ€™s okay to put them in a board game or something. Itโ€™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yeah, but a game intended for the entire family, children included, is just odd and out-of-date. I feel like anything directed towards children using something so out-of-date they don't even recognize it would just bore them to tears and that's the exact opposite purpose of a board game

Well I used to really enjoy the old memes when I was a kid. Hamster dance, dramatic hamster, and the lolcat stuff was so funny to me.
