Ben Affleck Dunkin Package Meme
Fine. For normies. I’ve only seen people with email jobs post it so I don’t love it. Anything that makes Ben Affleck more likable in the eyes of the public makes the Ben Affleck/Jennifer garner reunion more inevitable. A Ben Affleck meme for normies is good for the ecosystem
Bernie Meme
We’ve entered week 2 of the Bernie Meme. It went the now predictable route of being criticized by KHive/Hillary heads who at their best don’t know how a meme works and at their worst don’t know what oppression is and quickly veer into antisemitism. I’d like to see where we go from here as far as discourse. I think we as idiots have the power to keep it around until at least Valentine’s Day. What will Bernie represent then? Only god knows and may he have mercy on our wretched souls.
Tiktok
Zanzibar
The Zanzibar meme is good, However it cuts off too soon. I first heard the song this week and I’m not an expert on anything but wouldn’t the trend be better if instead of all that lead up it was the full chorus of “I got the old mans car/I got a jazz guitar/ I got a tab at Zanzibar” and you could lift your arms up or something at the end. Finish the musical phrase.
Drivers License
Losing spark for me with Sabrina carpenters response. Her response was never going to be as good as drivers license. But tiktok is finally remixing it and give it at least another week of trending.
