you just used a meme by calling someone an oldfag


Its not a meme, its a noun, or a honorific in a sense. a meme is a joke that plays on prior knowledge, only relationship is that the term oldfag and the idea of memes are linked to the same place.

This sentence is just ridiculous. I hope you know that.

Why? I know that there's always some knowledge required to "understand" a joke, but relying all together on something you should've heard on the internet is weak. I just don't view jokes that only rely on the in-crowd understanding them as successful in their attempt.

Most are not even a little funny. Some are just fun rather than funny. There are a few ones I actually like.

They are funny when you first see them, but become very annoying when they are used as replies in forums.

They can be if used at the absolutely perfect times, but for the most part is just displays a lack of originality or thought. Admittedly I use them from time to time but there's some people who literally live off of them. I've noticed that the internet culture in general is a shameful one that empower the cowardice of the anonymous (4chan) and panders to the lowest common denominator in society.

Other examples are the term "troll" and how overused it is. Or when people quote someone else and just leave a "+1" or "this" without contributing to the discussion. Were you expecting someone to give a flying mozzarella?

lol im just kidding, but honestly there's no 'in-joke' with that meme, its just a little something I made when I saw that picture in G-Senjou No Maou, really, the majority of them are used too much which makes them not funny and make them lose their meaning. I view it as sort of like a reaction of MFW or something.

Something that become overused technically loses its charm.

Before a meme is a meme, it's entertaining.

Still I still get a mild laugh of the Jackie Chan mindfuck image.

Some are. But the majority are stupid and make no sense. It's really awkward when a friend shows me a "funny" meme because I have to force myself to laugh.
