WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

[bl00dlikeice]

@caesarianconfection

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s 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?

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

[pagesofkenna]

it is a YMCA reference - that’s 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 (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ 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 “man door hand hook car door” 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 i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ 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)

[animatedamerican]

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

[captainlordauditor]

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

[japhers]

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics

[robynspreciousnest]

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

[operahousebookworm]

“You’re in your 30s, but you still understand all this meme stuff?” “Oh yeah, sure.” “Can you explain it to me?” “I absolutely fucking cannot.”

[sword-and-nightingale]

One does not simply explain this

[sword-and-nightingale]

Edit:

Another freaking layer!!!

[shitposting-hobbits-to-gallifrey]

16 motherfucking layers

[catbxy]

In the future someone’s going to ask me to explain this and I’m going to be at a loss.jpg for words

[official-lucifers-child]

you just… understand this. you do not get to explain it, nor would you be able to explain it. you simply understand the meme in and of itself.

[norcross]

imagine the valuable information my brain could be holding on to instead of all of this historical meme knowledge.

[jenroses]

Preserve this thread for future memeologists, unearthing a server in the far future, because suddenly it will make 30% of Tumblr actually make sense to them.

I’m dancing on your TOWN, GOAT MAN! 

[endreal]

Two warriors, tired and irritable from their long journeys, meet head to head on a remote forest path, and each too proud to step aside, challenge each other for right of way.

A pair of bards, not eager to step in harm's way, step to the side and wait for the duel to finish before continuing their journey. Neither is from this country, but friendly company is welcome on hard roads. Each finds the other pleasant to look upon, and what harm is there indulging in new loveliness from time to time?

Soon comes the heat of the day, and they sit by the road under dappled shade. They share songs and riddles, brief stories of the gods and princes of their lands, and tales of the heroic, mighty, and sometimes plain foolish exploits of their hot-headed companions.

Geralt staggers by, carrying a struggling dark-haired warrior above his head and flings his opponent into the woods with the unmistakable sound of crashing trees. Moments later he bolts wide-eyed in the opposite direction as Xena chases after him with a ululating cry and a tree branch nearly as big as she is.

Jaskier sighs and turns back to Gabrielle. "They'll be a while yet. Shall we break bread?"

[gallusrostromegalus]

@systlin​ this seems like your jam.

[fyanimorphs]

Animorphs comes to graphic novels in this exclusive first look

Animorphs was one of the defining children’s book series of the ’90s, exploring the turbulence of adolescence through a sci-fi war story about a group of teens fighting off an alien invasion by transforming into animals. Written by K.A. Applegate and Michael Grant, Animorphs was fun, intense, and addressed some very heavy subject matter that exposed its young audience to the horrors of war and the never-ending cycle of violence. In October, Scholastic Graphix brings the beloved series into a new medium with a new graphic novel by Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist Chris Grine.

On sale October 6, Animorphs: The Invasion has Grine taking on full adaptation duties as he scripts, draws, colors, and letters the story, bringing a fresh perspective that revitalizes the 24-year-old story for a new generation. “It’s a huge relief to finally be able to share what I’ve been working on over the last year,” says Grine. “I love this series and I can’t wait to share it with the fans who have been wanting this to happen for so long. Having never adapted a book into a graphic novel before, let alone a series so deeply ingrained in pop culture, it was both super exciting and panic-inducing at times.”

The A.V. Club has an exclusive first look at the cover and interior pages of Animorphs: The Invasion, which has Grine shifting into a darker storytelling mode than his brighter previous works. He uses silhouettes to create a foreboding atmosphere rooted in paranoia, keeping the city and its residents in shadow to reinforce that this could be any town and any person could be compromised. The visuals lighten up when Grine introduces Jake and Marco, two of the series’ lead characters, and Grine does great work drawing kids that actually look like kids, a very important quality when working on a series about children drafted into an interplanetary war. “We are very excited by this opportunity to bring Animorphs to a new readership,” say K.A. Applegate and Michael Grant. “Morph to your favorite battling beast and join the resistance to Yeerk domination!”

i hope that baby yoda grows up to talk like a normal person and we find out yoda was just a fucking freak

[zevveli]

IIRC Yoda’s Speech patterns were explicitly stated once to be due to his age. It was something along the lines of that the rules of grammar for basic had changed between his youth and the time of the Star Wars movies. So it was essentially like if an Anglican Priest from the Elizabethan Era had taken refuge in a swamp in Louisiana and was trying to impart his ancient wisdom on some farmboy from Texas.
