As the title says.

I've always found memes pretty lazy in terms of humor, you're using someone elses joke to sound funny, you didn't create that joke yourself.

Even worse, it's usually the only form of humour that braindead edgelords have besides telling people "kys" or calling everyone a retard every 2 minutes.

It's almost like the "Carlos Mencia" version of comedy. You're just STEALING someone else's joke to sound funny. No, its even worse then Mencia, because at least he tries to put a twist on it when it's someone else's joke. When you take a meme off the internet, all you are doing is taking someone else's joke and using it as your own, no twist, no changing it up, its just the same joke put out the same way from a different person.

Now if you're making your own memes, thats cool, but majority are taken from somewhere off the internet.

KMC, care to weigh in?

I love a good meme.

You are a Meme...not a good one tho...

It's great imo.

A meme is like an inside joke, but one where the inside is expanded to include a ****ton of people.

It's something like a shared experience in a way.

One of the best places on reddit is r/prequelmemes. Really hilarious subreddit.

You get close to stating the actual definition of a meme.

Memes can make me laugh, absolutely, but it annoys me when people on social media try to make points with memes instead of using words, I wouldn't care if they quoted the meme verbatim (not always possible because a lot of memes are dependent on the accompanying picture). Had some facebook battles with friends who thought they could debate by using memes, I inundate their page with hundreds upon hundreds of totally unrelated memes. One guy literally begged me to stop, so I posted a meme about begging someone to stop. They do have their uses I suppose.

Well the nature of what it is is the reason why it's great.

For the same reason friends enjoy inside jokes with each other, memes can be enjoyed, but in a much larger community.

If those cartoons in the New Yorker are legit forms of comedy then memes sure as hell are too.

Just finished my second to last final of the semester

Memes can be legitimately funny, but I find these far and few between. Typically they're weak humor at best and idiots push them on and on.

Can't help but feel like that was a direct response to what I just posted

No, I actually found what you said coupled with that gif to be somewhat assuming.

Seeing them self trigger over memes is a form of comedy in itself.

Somebody should make a Meme of it.

i like a good meme, sadly most of the memes on here and boorish and crass

It just seems like, in place of coming up with an actual joke, thats being used in place of one.

No I didn't make it...the entire point of memes is to share them. It's essentially a joke you put out there for anyone to use.

Okay, here's an original, then:

The point of a meme is to make someone laugh. Yes I'll admit that some people do steal other people's meme, and that makes it just lazy humor. But if you are creative/smart enough, it can be a very well constructed joke. So it all depends on the situation.

That's been done as well, though I think it was a picture of Bill Nye (The Science Guy).

Answer: More than two.

Anything else?

You edited out my link showing concerns of a looming recession. The link and the meme work in tandem.

Well it wasn't done with Willy Wonka. Until now.

I though you quoted after my edit, but the timestamp does not lie. So my error there.

I guess my thing is, when you use memes all the time in place of real humour it can become a problem, y'know?

Like its not that I don't understand the entertainment value, it's just all everyones humour ever is.

I remember asking this person who didn't get any of my jokes what their humor was, they straight up said "memes, lol".

How can your entire humor just be memes? It also sometimes makes me feel like yesteryear's comedians are underappreciated.

You're too young to be as jaded and grumpy as Robtard.


But I know what you mean. Memes are low-effort jokes. Doing a 5-minute stand-up routine and getting laughs usually requires quite a bit of effort, practice, thought, and talent to pull off. Most "good" memes are good because it makes you breathe slightly harder of or your nose. That's the bar for what makes a good meme: a slightly harder exhale.
