2019: vibe check

It just works

Fallout 76 is such a mess that the entirety of it is a big meme in itself

16 times the detail

Yeah, the original farquaard edit had him in his bed, and no deep-frying

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing

im glad it was a group effort, that gives me hope

With a lot of these memes, it feels like most started out dead serious (Bad Opinion Puffin, anything from 4chan, etc.) but became ironic jokes made for shits and giggles.

I think Virgin vs Chad is kind of just an earlier, more easily understandable prototype of the Nordic Gamer/Trad Girl memes he discusses at the end. Shit comics made unironically by incels that have been thoroughly mocked to the point of basically only existing as ironic shitposts making fun of said incels.

@@chuckbatmangaming not necessarily always the case, they have been used on /hist/, /out/, /fit/, etc. And can be very intellectual

The best part of that meme is how the Chad's face is the shape of the country of Chad

Seems more 2020 meme

Thats not how the game works. The point of the game is that you can't win the game. The goal is to not think about the game. Otherwise you lose. If you ask someone if they're playing the game, the very instant they lock eyes with you they've already lost. Because their brain is already thinking about the question, and the subject of said question: the fucking game. You lost the game the moment you began playing it. So she was really wasting everyone's time. As well as yours. And apparently nobody apart of "everybody" as you mentioned, has ever heard of or played the actual game... -.-

@@pweefypweef4089 I disagree.

@@meursault7030 ....Dude. Its not that complex. Here I'll demonstrate I'm about to ask you if you would like to play the game. If you answer me, you've already lost. If you don't reply, then you aren't playing the game in the first place. Therefore, you are not playing the game. Its not a *big bwain* strat to beat the game faster, you're just choosing to not participate in the game. Even if you wanted to disagree you'd be doing it out of spite, or to troll, not because it's legitimate to disagree. Now, with that all figured out (hopefully), lets try this again shall we: "Wanna play the game?" :)

@@pweefypweef4089 You've misunderstood my original comment, I think. She didn't refuse to play the game and think it was a smart play. She was just ignorant of the meaning of the words. So she'd be assuming you meant some other game, not THE game. When someone's talking about some other game, you don't lose The Game because you're thinking about the other game. The words have to make you think about the concept of The Game in order for you you lose. She was unaware of the concept of The Game and thus continues winning, likely to this very day for all I know

@@pweefypweef4089 It's always the idiots that are most condescending. I think it's because it's so hard for you people to articulate things that it gets frustrating. Bless your little cotton socks.

I am proud to have helped destroy baby Yoda memes

Hopefully it just goes away and dies like every other meme and doesn’t come up again like how minions come to us nonstop.

It’ll be back with the new season. I think that’s why minions prevailed. The movies just wouldn’t stop.

And it also helped spawn more “baby” memes such as Baby Sonic and Baby Nut. I thought that they killed the baby trend in the 90’s. I wish that it’d stay *dead.*

I think that falls under the "Advice Animals" Umbrella that Quinton used in this video. But I absolutely agree, "Is this a pigeon" was a fantastic meme in my opinion.

Fun fact: The Ylvis brothers mentioned that "What does the fox say" was supposed to be part of a different skit from their TV show, where the joke would be that they didn't understand why their trendy new song didn't take off.

Mïsty That’s an extremely cursed fun fact.

@@miisty2871 that's ironic

Anthony Yes, yes it is indeed

2008

​@@athousandfeethigh yeah rage comics have earlier origins, but it was 9GAG in 2011 particular that put them at the forefront of the meme zeitgeist.

@@wizzzer1337 yeah, and funny enough, that wasnt really the only thing that really made them popular. Hot Topic sold a lot of rage comic faces as shirts at one point and a pretty decent chunk of people on 4chan got pretty pissed about it. they started making racist rage comics as a result to try and get it associated with, well, racism so that Hot Topic would catch heat for it. There was a *bit* of heat, but Hot Topic caught wind of what was happening and they announced they were going to keep selling the shirts regardless. kind of a shame. i really miss the original rage comics when they were about, well, situations that lead to, well, rage. the newer generation of comics once they got popular were just nowhere near as good

2011 was when rage memes stopped being funny

@@athousandfeethigh same with advice animals. They've been around since before 2010. 2008ish.

You know the first it was fun, but than I notice that that's meme like every comment now

Well, the original idea of the meme was SPECIFICALLY in cases of somebody doing something unprompted. Like, Nobody: Disney: “Lets make another pirates of the Carribian movie!” Now people tack it on to anything thinking it makes it funny.

www.reddit.com/r/uselessnobody/comments/dxhgt1/he_doesnt_even_understand_the_meme_correctly/ This one makes me irrationally angry.

Nobody: Skipper 13k: To me the worst meme of 2019 is NOBODY: So annoying, so unecessary.

For real for real

Simple: Racist caricature by proxy. More straightforward racist imagery became too socially toxic, so a proxy became a popular option for that sort of humour. Why that videogame character? Rap theme and dreads. It's dead simple.

GeorgeNoiseless I'm gonna show my kids my Ugandan Knuckles vinyl figure and tell em some people really liked to find reasons things are racist

Ya see kids, people found out that being openly racist tended to produce scorn rather than comforting approval. So they learned to be careful and indirect and prepare escape routes if necessary. But they were still stuck in their perpetual discomfort that the mythical promise of supremacy over others was perpetually being undermined. This self-imposed isolation that they kept maintaining through faithfulness to a social order that is dead but still twitching caused a mighty struggle but very little personal growth. To them, the universe is wrong for saying that the old ways are dead. Which is crazy. Under such immense pressure to maintain this craziness, they sought refuge in the aesthetic of aloof rebellion through irreverent styles of humor, always securing an escape route any time someone rejected the joke’s premise. This joke is a throwback to decades old minstrel shows that featured buffoonish caricatures of impoverished black people. They merely swapped the southern black accent for a generic African accent. The setup is old hat: Hay everyone remember black ppl?! And the punchline equally old: Wat a dum, as opposed to us who are not black ppl and therefore not a dum. The beauty of such a simplistic joke format is that it remains ambiguous to anyone that has no idea what minstrels shows were, nor that Knuckles can be coded as black due to his dreadlocks and the very cheesy rap songs about him. These freeform associations of a cartoon echidna with a buffoonish black man are so very stupid that pointing it out makes the speaker sound like a joyless bore. Sadly, racism is precisely that stupid, but was a taboo enough subject amongst white Americans back then that it was given undue gravitas. Such gravitas affords the racists the opportunity to express their racism in a way that appears too directionless to be damaging. Their message was “I’m not srs, being srs is uncool. ppl who think this is racist r real srs” to undermine the social convention that racism is an attitude worth changing. Which didn’t quite work. B/c the joke can be easily shown to be lame. And once revealed as lame, it can be discussed as a lame racist thing that tried to make racism hip and with it.

Blocky Oxwinkle its literally in the name idk how clicking noises and speaking in an african accent doesnt ring some sort of insensitive to you

chaosvii To me I just never thought of it that deeply? I consider myself pretty left but Ugandan Knuckles never seemed that serious to me. First I never thought of Knuckles as black, hes an Echidna and I never imagined he had dreads really. He just kinda exists to me. I know you didn't say that but I felt it was worth mentioning. Also to me Ugandan Knuckles is so far out there with people doing an over the top accent while clicking asking people for "the way" that it doesn't seem to have intent. Honestly if it did it's failed. Nobody seems to think of Ugandan Knuckles in regard to race more than how fucking weird it was. It's like some stupid thing your friend does that you find really funny for some reason. I directly think of this kinda Brooklyn accent my friend likes to do that we all find funny just because we do. Like she says stuff but sometimes it's just absurd I guess. I mean racism has its hands in everything but like I was in sophomore year when it was a thing and everyone of every creed was going around asking for "the way" and clicking in unison. Racists really fucked up if they wanted to divide us or something. Honestly I'm not trying to be rude or ignorant though. I just personally have a critical lens and then there's how I see things actually work in the world. So far it hasn't done any damage unless like you were already racist and even then I didnt see anybody doing that.

@@totallynotjeff7748 Think I made it a few years this time.

he's actually wrong about this because to tell another person about the game he had to of been told it before (unless quinton was friends with the creator of the game) and thus had already lost the game well before

Somehow, propaganda always seems to allow the underlying cruelty of the things being propagandized through, as if their subconscious is telling them that all of this is wrong

I think it illustrates how meaningless something becomes once it's adopted by the fascists. Pepe, Wojak, they became popular because they evoked an emotion, because they connected to people's sadness and their need to connect to others. Now they're so mutated they mean nothing. They're just empty symbols of an online community that lost it's soul.

It's almost as if the right are the ones who can't meme. At least, not without making it obvious how bad they are.

That's.... Like literally illegal. There's no way Disney would sign off on those changes, and almost every play has within the contract for the rights to the show that in order to produce the play, the script must be followed to the letter, no purposeful line changes can be made. That theater could be fined if they had been found out. Also why the hell did they think that was a good idea, fortnite and the LGBTQ+ community have NOTHING to do with that show. Where in the show even was that stunt? Where did they play "What Does The Fox Say?" I have to know.

Rattus Sordidus I don’t really think so. Most memes are really vapid and hold no true opinions. Even the ones that do hold opinions are often just meant to create a reaction. Also, just because you disagree with something doesn’t mean it’s the “status quo.” The world is deeply divided, so either side can argue they are counter-cultural.

Reminds me of that Tru-Scum Comic of the two Trans Men.

Cash’s version is better. It felt utterly painful, as you could see the depressed reflection in each line. It was an amazing cover.

He basically took Cash's cover arrangement, played it on piano instead of a guitar, and sung over it in the original way he sang it. It was nso much better than the cash version even. It made me cry. It was the last song on that night as NIN was headlining that day on the main stage. That show in general was insane, I've never seen such a good light show
