It's pretty funny, and slightly sad

Because you actually think your attitude doesn't make you just as boring and redundant as someone who spams "U mad" all the time.

Being a hipster went mainstream. I'm surprised it didn't tear a hole in the space time continuum.

Some people confusing memes and slang here.

Here's a fun game you can play. Try to come up with an original thought or idea, on any topic at all, and then google it.

I typed in "memes are a sign of the apocalypse" and google not only autocompleted it for me, it also found 7,200,000 similar results in .15 seconds

Rick Rolls annoy me for some reason, but this one always makes me laugh when I fall for it.

I got Rick Rolled, only once....but it was so hilarious, because it was by my little brother who got caught with the same one. I was on MSN with him and he was like "DUDE!!! Did you hear....? They are re-making Resident Evil 2 for the Wii!" And he knows it was my favorite in the series... So he puts up a link.. Rick Rolled.... lol I called him a *** as I was laughing hysterically

I sometimes wish memes came with an enforced (preferably via violence) expiration date. Far to many people overusing some frigging ancient memes and I even run into it offline now.


Each and every thing one does not care about does not require a "cool story..." as fast as possible. Every big number does not need to be "over 9000". Etc. Etc. Damn kids and their zombie memes.

as much as i like to agree with op for the use over and over again i think that the reuse of those memes lead to remixes and other variations.
As for the message itself it's mostly the same but it varies and creates its own meme-group within a meme-group.

and to be honest as long as we not only answer a opening post with "*** or gtfo" or something similar we are good to go with memes.

Deliberately so. Technically two memes there. Both old. You don't wanna know how many lolcat and Cthulhu references I've received lately.

And all the cool story bro'ing everywhere is just obnoxious. Error! Your meme is expired! SLAP!

Whatever else happens dabackpack, you still have your art. It's just about amazing.

Why thank you :) I'm glad someone likes it.

I must admit that there are memes that are hilarious, like SOON
But there's a lot of crap out there that makes my brain hurt. There are some gems in there though, as is with regular humor.

Wow its funny reading about These so called meme's and how the 'rockrolling " phenom took off...

Its also interesting how Rick Astley "rolled" with this type of humour and did find it " Hilarious".

According to the website link, "Rickrolling, Rock Astley only made royalties of $12 from youtube. He did h/e thank "moot" or Chris Poole, originally of 4 chan, for the start of this whole creation.




Wiki website of "Rickrolling"
