As much as I appreciate Skeltor, the cat would have worked just as well.

The memes are the bottom are so incorrect that I have to imagine the creator was trolling.

What’s with all these weird misused memes

Language and culture evolve. I’m pretty sure skeletor wasn’t ‘meant’ to be a meme in the first place.

It communicates quite clearly to me what the message is, thus meme well used I’d say.

Nah this is a devolution.

The woman in the meme is supposed to say something unreasonable, and that makes sense because she’s clearly emotional and angry. Her correctly solving the puzzle doesn’t align with her picture.

Then we’ve replaced the cat with Skeltor… for what? I guess him being wrong makes more sense than the cat because the cat is usually correct, or just minding their own business, but why not use the meme with the monkey looking sideways? Or why don’t we use the Winnie the Pooh meme?

It just seems like someone slapped together three images they saw on Reddit without really trying to make sense. And for some reason people up vote this. Idk.

How did they not see this? Unless, it’s intentional…

not real haha. Aside from “luck be in the air tonight” not being a phrase I’ve ever heard anyone say in any context, it doesn’t make sense as the solution because the “i” in “in” and also “tonight” is already revealed yet it isn’t for the word “air” (must admit I didn’t notice this, until I saw it pointed out).

What are you talking about? The ‘i’ in both ‘air’ and ‘tonight’ is not revealed. Just like it’s still hidden in ‘air’. Or am I misunderstood something…?

EDIT: Ah, you’re referring to the Snopes article you linked. I get it, but the rest of us are just commenting on the post and image here.

If you follow their link, you’ll see the original had the issue they describe. The one posted here seems to have been (further) photoshopped to solve the issue of the original.

Oh snap haha. Yeh I’m a dumbass. Nevertheless, it is definitely fake, which is something you can really determine just from context given the relative unlikelyness of this being missed and the fact that, “luck be in the air tonight” is not a phrase, but it’s good to know that this even exists in multiple forms out there meaning it’s definitely been manipulted.

Looks like they fixed that in this meme

It’s a portmanteau of the lyrics “Luck be a lady tonight” and “I can feel it calling in the air tonight” which is why it feels just familiar enough to seem real, but not actually.

This would be in the category “before and after” where the middle of the puzzle ends one saying and begins another. The solve would be “tuck me in” along with “in the air tonight”.
