WEโVE HIT TERMINAL MEME
@caesarianconfection
Iโve saidย โI hate thisโ so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, becauseย โI hate thisโ is just shorthand forย โthis is an example of a meme given a twist I wasnโt expecting with intent to surpriseโ. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But thisโฆ This is something else.
The rapidity of a memeโs introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, youโll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. Itโll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeareโs 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?
โฆ.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE
it is a YMCA reference - thatโs 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 (โtake the breadsticks and runโ) is a reference to the tumblr meme โstuffing breadsticks into my purseโ. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. thatโs meme two (2)
โman door hand hook car doorโ is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the genericย โstuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill usโ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
โgunโ isโฆ 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 โman door hand hook car doorโ 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 becomesย 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 iโve ever seen. the initialย โyoung manโ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock memeย โgunโ 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 wasnโt going to reblog this, but @pagesofkennaโs 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.jpgโs format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000โs 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
Iโm not sorry.

This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.

One does not simply explain this
