Meme Report 2/10/21
Bugs Bunny
this meme has been in the background for a while. It’s finally trickled down to everyone and I’m seeing people play fast and loose with the format. The syntax has to be right for this one. “I wish all.... a very pleasant” if you erase “all” and “a very pleasant” you take away some of the memes sparkle. This is why I do this. There’s a right way. There are rules. I want people to know that breaking the rules takes away from the meme. It’s not funny if it’s just a picture and sentence. If we sand the malleable edges of meme, we lose what makes the meme special.
Also, If you are opening photoshop to edit a meme, close it right now. Everyone is using Instagram to add and erase text. Don’t think too much. Don’t work too hard. No need to try too hard for no reason.
I ain’t exactly....... but I ain’t exactly
An almost meme. I’ve seen two pretty good ones but no more. A rare meme phenomenon. Will probably get a revival in six months to two years if it doesn’t take off right now. It needs to bounce around in peoples skulls for a while. It doesn’t even have a knowyourmeme entry yet.
The Weekend funhouse video
The super bowl always produces a meme or two but I can’t remember any of theme except for left shark. This one too will fall away from our memory the same as others before it.
Perfect couple
Ok. Fine. Damn Shawty ok but with less steps. I’ve yet to see anything truly revolutionary or that elicits a small chuckle.
Gf and Bf
this is an offshoot of podcaster bf and e girl gf combined with perfect couple minus the picture. Been a while (more than four weeks) since there was a pure text meme on twitter. Everyone has to get their pre Valentine’s anxiety out somehow.
Tiktok
I love you.... Shit is catchy
The tiktok teens must be applauded for their ability to churn out ways to talk about fictional characters and activism. However I don’t care. This meme went from being about singers writing songs about real people and their real relationships which is always fun gossip to being about listening to Better than Revenge despite being a feminist. I think that’s a tired joke and the people making are never that smart or have anything worthwhile to say about feminism. Or the people that feel the need to defend their love of SVU. That’s not how critical consumption of media works and you can always say nothing! And you don’t have to broadcast your critical consumption! You can just think a thought and keep it to yourself or talk about it with your friends.
I got Abraham Lincoln for some reason
I have truly nothing to say about this. This meme makes no impact on me and leaves no impression. Not good but no bad. Would rather watch them than something that makes me mad.
It’s everything you ever want, it’s everything you ever need
STOP TRUAMA DUMPING. Get a diary. See a therapist. You’re not allowed to make a tiktok about a situation if you’re not over it.
When it’s not trauma dumping it’s too long to watch when it’s the plot of a movie. Get to the point.
No one at my school is hot and then they say a name (talk to me boy)
Ok this is the opposite of tiktoks that don’t work because we don’t know your friends. There is something truly incredible about people posting hyper specific tiktoks about their school like the rest of us can’t see them. It’s like reading someone’s diary. This meme works because it feels like something we’re not supposed to see. Even though the people make the tiktoks knowing that people beyond their universe might see them. It happens when you least expect it.
It will always be funny for someone to say the first and last name of someone who is not famous and you will not know.
