#op! report back! what are the goyim saying???#i really struggle to wrap my head around what exactly#a goyishe person gets out of bernie sanders as a personality#not as a politician#because obviously he's good at that and has mass appeal#but like. his whole shtick is just SO JEWISH#that man is a passover seder where everyone is yelling but no one's mad#that man is a purimspiel where they forgot to invite back the reader you really liked
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY TBH
Gentile-made Inauguration Bernie memes fall into the following categories:
Whereâs Waldo?/I had to do it to âem: comedy is based on the incongruity OR "so normal you missed itâ of Bernie/his pose vs. his surroundings. Bernie is photoshopped into photographs, movies, TV shows, album covers, and hidden in crowds.
Grandpa Vibes/Grandpa is cold: comedy based on grandpa vibes which are mundane and therefore (seemingly) incongruous with the inauguration. grandpa vibes in a general sense are universal. these are funny. other (gentile) ethnic minorities demanding someone put a blanket on grandpa is hilarious solidarity. also included: âdadcore vermontâ - heâs your relative, or local neighbor. âthis ainât his whole day...â
Moods: general or grandpa specific, based on the pose and attitude. Â includes: âdressed to go to the post office,â âteacher on recess duty vibes.â Â
Advertising memes, and âI have never met a jew in my life.â: when gentiles photoshop bernie into a christmas photograph studio set up for marketing, and like, the last supper. what is happening. these arenât even funny.
Meme mashups: combined with other memetic formats
bernieâs politics: rarer, but good.
(there are soooooo many versions of him at the last supper. i donât think itâs intentional, just dumb.)
BY CONTRAST, âZAYDE BERNIE AT THE INAUGURATIONâ MEMES ARE PRIMARILY THE FOLLOWING THINGS:
1.) ZAYDE BERNIE IS NOT INCONGRUOUS AT ALL IN THIS SITUATION OR IS A RELATIVE I HAVE, ARCHETYPALLY
3.) ZAYDE BERNIE IS AN IMAGE OF A MOOD/EMOTION/REACTION TO AN EVENT OR ACTIVITY THAT IS NOT INCONGRUOUS TO THE (USUALLY JEWISH) EVENT/ACTIVITY: this one is rarely edited, and primarily captions based:
âWhen I was growing up no one stood for this kaddishâ
"The chuppah was called for 7:30 where is everybody??"
Watching everyone fighting over the kugel, but you've got a family member on the kiddush committee who has kitchen access
When the Cantor decides to teach the congregation a new melody for L'cha Dodi.
When you skip breakfast and then learn there's no sponsored kiddish that day.
In Jewish yoga this pose is: waiting for my wife at Loehmann's
When shule is running early because there was no drasha, but then just before kiddush the Rabbi introduces a guest speaker to give a 45 minute shiur.
Pretending I've been there the whole time when I snuck in 10 minutes before the bagel breakfast
when you get forced into being the 10th person at mincha to make minyan and the shatz insists on doing a full hazarat hashatz
"So what, all of a sudden kitnyot are fine?"
Jews in America waiting for December to end already
Listening to the gabai read off donation pledges on high holidays, judging the wealthy congregants that only pledge $18
When youâre two hours in and the seder leader wonât get to the meal already
When they release a new edition of your siddur and change all the page numbers.
When you realize that we're doing EVERY verse of Dayenu.
Shul starts at 745, I get here at 745.
When you get invited to a meeting but it should have been an email
when the kids are taking forever to find the fucking afikoman
When you're at a new shul and they're not calling out the pages
when you're at a shiva for a guy you didn't like
4.) POLITICAL JOKES/MEMES AND GENERAL/UNIVERSAL OF THE ABOVE âMOODSâ
gentile made memes primarily think bernie is funny to photoshop into silly locations because the pose is funny and incongruous with locations (like âI had to do it to emâ) OR blends in perfectly to a non-inaugural setting because it is so normal. some touch on the grandpa vibes, or the mood in that order.
jewish zayde bernie memes are primarily about an emotion and experience which the pose conveys we also feel, or relationship to this exact archetypal person in our families, and then universal comedy about the archetype or mood.
