WEāVE HIT TERMINAL MEME
@caesarianconfection
Iāve saidĀ āI hate thisā so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, becauseĀ āI hate thisā is just shorthand forĀ āthis is an example of a meme given a twist I wasnāt expecting with intent to surpriseā. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But thisā¦ This is something else.
The rapidity of a memeās introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, youāll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. Itāll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeareās 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?
ā¦.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE
it is a YMCA reference - thatās 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 (ātake the breadsticks and runā) is a reference to the tumblr meme āstuffing breadsticks into my purseā. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. thatās meme two (2)
āman door hand hook car doorā is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the genericĀ āstuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill usā story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
āgunā isā¦ 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 āman door hand hook car doorā 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 becomesĀ 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 iāve ever seen. the initialĀ āyoung manā lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock memeĀ āgunā 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 wasnāt going to reblog this, but @pagesofkennaās 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.jpgās format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000ās 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
Iām not sorry.

SOMEONE EDIT THIS FROM THE ORIGINAL PHOTO SAYING āthis one does not spark joyā TO THIS VERSION SAYING āthis one sparks joyā
well i added my contribution : )

IM SCREAMING
This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.
āYouāre in your 30s, but you still understand all this meme stuff?ā āOh yeah, sure.ā āCan you explain it to me?ā āI absolutely fucking cannot.ā
One does not simply explain this
Edit:
Another freaking layer!!!
16 motherfucking layers
In the future someoneās going to ask me to explain this and Iām going to be at a loss.jpg for words
Iām not reblogging this because I want to. Iām reblogging this because sometimes youāre a witness to history whether you want to be or not, and you have to embrace that.Ā
