WEâVE HIT TERMINAL MEME
@caesarianconfection
Iâve said âI hate thisâ so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because âI hate thisâ is just shorthand for âthis is an example of a meme given a twist I wasnât expecting with intent to surpriseâ. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But this⊠This is something else.
The rapidity of a memeâs introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, youâll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. Itâll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeareâs jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.
For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?
âŠ.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE
it is a YMCA reference - thatâs one of the 6 memes being represented here
ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)
this first lyric replacement (âtake the breadsticks and runâ) is a reference to the tumblr meme âstuffing breadsticks into my purseâ. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. thatâs meme two (2)
âman door hand hook car doorâ is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic âstuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill usâ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
âgunâ is⊠yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to âman door hand hook car doorâ for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)
and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)
which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think iâve ever seen. the initial âyoung manâ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme âgunâ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)
I wasnât going to reblog this, but @pagesofkennaâs comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.
average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted
it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpgâs format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000âs rage comics
I was getting a political compass vibe too
tag urself im man door hand hook car gun
This works better than I thought it would.
This was in my senior project
Iâm not sorry.

SOMEONE EDIT THIS FROM THE ORIGINAL PHOTO SAYING âthis one does not spark joyâ TO THIS VERSION SAYING âthis one sparks joyâ

IM SCREAMING
This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.
âYouâre in your 30s, but you still understand all this meme stuff?â âOh yeah, sure.â âCan you explain it to me?â âI absolutely fucking cannot.â
One does not simply explain this
Edit:
Another freaking layer!!!
16 motherfucking layers
In the future someoneâs going to ask me to explain this and Iâm going to be at a loss.jpg for words
Iâm not reblogging this because I want to. Iâm reblogging this because sometimes youâre a witness to history whether you want to be or not, and you have to embrace that.Â
GUYS STOP!! IF WE CONTINUE ON THIS ROAD, THE MEME WILL BECOME TOO POWERFUL!
No keep going, letâs see if we can brake tumblr. If we do letâs use it to brake fb and twitter
Youâre chaotic neutral I love it
