eh it was fun while it lasted
Call me edgy, but even at the phase between the brands using it and the normal use of the meme there’s the period when the meme is overused and kinda obnoxious (like the pickle Rick meme).
Then sometimes the template becomes deep fried or somewhat distorted and it gets funny again ahah
Reminds me of the always sunny interview where an audience member shouted “shut up, bird.” Kinda missed the point there.
If you stop liking something because many people like it, you’re just as dependent on the mainstream as if you only like something if many people like it.
I just like stuff independently on whether other people like it. If many agree and use it, that’s cool.
god I remember when big brands first started using memes to relate to their customers. Cringe warning
I was expecting this one from 2004
What an idea, take intentionally bad music and art, then unleash it on people not in on the joke.
Seriously, social media brand accounts are always a huge turn off regardless how hard they try to be relatable or “funny”.
I always imagine, the poor social media person’s wage directly depends on how many viral posts they’ve made. And so they try and they try again, hoping that one day, one of their sterile brand-safe posts will somehow hit a nerve and make it big time.
Unfortunately, that still does not make these forced jokes any funnier.
This is really great little comic. Has excellent pacing in 4 panels
