Facebook meme(s) of the week

TIME FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF "SHARE OR DON'T SHARE"

(FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS BTW)

HERE WE GO



GOOD IDEA, LET'S START WITH SOMETHING LIGHTHEARTED

THE COMMENT THREADS OF SUPER WEIRD FACEBOOK PAGES ARE A GOOD VENUE TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION

THE SUBTLETY OF THE PICTURE OF THE WHEELCHAIR MEANING "PERMANENTLY DISABLED" IS MY FAVORITE PART

IN CASE YOU WERE TRYING TO GET OFF EASY BY THINKING LOST FINGER OR SOMETHING

BTW YES-- ALL OF THESE MEMES ARE ACTUALLY GIFS

THEY MOVE AROUND EVER SO SLIGHTLY AND PLAY STRANGE MUSIC

BUT IF YOU IMAGINE EACH OF THEM PLAYING "LOVE SHACK" WHEN YOU CLICK THEY BECOME 10X BETTER

OH AND VERDICT: SHARE

THAT'S FOR YOU, BABE

AND MY ONLINE REPUTATION




"HELLO? TEDDY BEAR? ARE YOU OK? TALK INTO THE RECEIVER DAMMIT! I'LL BE RIGHT THERE-- DON'T DO ANYTHING DRASTIC!"

HAD A FRIEND ONCE WHO SHARED THIS MEME AND A WEEK LATER I CALLED HIM AT MIDNIGHT CRYING ABOUT THE YANKEES LETTING GIRARDI GO

HE WAS LIKE "NEW PHONE, WHO DIS"

SMH

THAT KIND OF HYPOCRISY GOT ME LIKE: DON'T SHARE





PFFT WE USED TO USE THIS PIZZA CUTTER/ROOT CANAL WRENCH TO OPEN 10-GALLON ALUMINUM JUGS OF HI-C BACK IN THE DIZZ-AY

HOLLA ATCHA BOY (ME) WHO ALWAYS KNOWS ABOUT ALL THE TOOLS: SHARE




THIS IS NOT PART OF "SHARE OR DON'T SHARE" BUT THIS SAD TURTLE GOT ME CATCHING FEELINGS

"SORRY FOR NOT BEEN ABLE TO CALL"

ME TOO SAD TURTLE

IT WORKS BOTH WAYS

IMMA SHARE THIS ANYWAY




LISTEN I CAME HERE TODAY TO DO THREE THINGS

1) AFFIRM THAT I'LL REMAIN WITH MY WIFE IF SHE'S EVER IN A WHEELCHAIR; 2) REMEMBER CASSETTE TAPE INSERTS; AND 3) KICK ASS

AND I'M ALL OUT OF ASSES TO KICK

"SHARE AND COMMENT A SONG"

GOOD STUFF

SHARE



IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY SAID IT

I KNOW AT LEAST SIX FAMILIES WHO USED TO LIVE ON THEIR FRONT PORCH

BUT NOW THEY CAN'T BECAUSE OF OBAMA 

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FRONT PORCHES GONE (SANG TO THE TUNE OF "WHERE HAVE ALL THE COWBOYS GONE")

THE FRONT PORCH IS WHERE I USED TO SNAP GREEN BEANS WITH GRANDMA

I'M GONNA SHARE THIS AND HOPE WE GET OUR FRONT PORCHES BACK

#BRINGBACKFRONTPORCHES




THIS IS MY FAVORITE COLLECTING AND RETURNING BOTTLES MEME

AND BELIEVE ME I'VE SEEN MY SHARE




WE'LL REMEMBER "WHO REMEMBERS GLUE?" AS THE DAY THE INTERNET PEAKED

IT'S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE

WHICH IS WHY: DON'T SHARE




I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S A MISSPELLING OR IF THIS MEME IS TARGETED SOLELY AT SOMEONE NAMED ANOYNE, IN WHICH CASE WE'RE MISSING A COMMA

SO LET'S PRETEND WE'RE ALL ANOYNE BECAUSE THIS IS A WORTHWHILE DISCUSSION TO HAVE

"THIS IS A SHOT IN THE DARK BUT LET'S SEE IF PEOPLE REMEMBER CEREAL" - PERSON WHO MADE THIS

I WILL SHARE BUT I WILL NOT COMMENT ON MY FAVORITE

SOME THINGS ARE JUST TOO PERSONAL

RESERVED FOR THE SPECIALK FEW WHO KNOW ME WELL




"CHECK OUT THESE OLD HEADS REMINISCING ABOUT THESE WACK ASS ROLLER SKATES" - ME HARSHLY OBSERVING ACTIVITY ON THIS MEME

SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT COMBINING ALL THE "BACK IN MY DAY" MEMES INTO ONE MEGA MEME TO RULE THE PLANET

"BACK IN MY DAY WE DIDN'T WEAR SEAT BELTS AND WE WALKED HOME FROM SCHOOL ALONE AND OUR PARENTS WHIPPED US WITH BELTS AND WE DRANK FROM THE HOSE AND WE RODE ON DEATH SKATES WITH NO ANKLE SUPPORT AND WE ALL TURNED OUT FINE"

THE PICTURE ON THE MEME WOULD BE MR. MAGOO RIDING THESE SKATES INTO A STOP SIGN

IT WOULD BE SHARED INFINITY TIMES

ANYWAY, AT THE RISK OF FAILING THE AGE TEST: DON'T SHARE




WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT LACKING FOR MEMES THAT TARGET MIDDLE AMERICAN WHITE FOLKS

I MEAN, IF WHEELCHAIRS, OLD TOOLS, FRONT PORCHES, RECYCLING, GLUE, AND CEREAL DOESN'T WHET YOUR EXTREMELY PLAIN PALATE, TRY *THIS* ONE ON FOR SIZE:

RICE

"I'LL SHARE THIS MEME BUT I *WON'T* SHARE MY RICE/BUTTER/SUGAR BOWL ... BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE TO EAT THIS!" - ME DOING A COMMERCIAL FOR THIS MEME




EVEN THE BLURRED-OUT WORDS ARE A GRAMMATICAL DISASTER

BUT I'LL SHARE SINCE I CAN "READ SOME"

"WOW LOOKS LIKE MIKE CAN READ SOME, I'M SO PROUD OF HIM" - MY MOM SEEING THAT I'VE SHARED THIS MEME ON FACEBOOK




WELL I CERTAINLY DIDN'T SHOP THERE AFTER IT CLOSED

THAT'S MY JOKE OF THE DAY

JOTD

ANOTHER JOKE IS, WHY TF IS "BEFORE" AND "CLOSED" CAPITALIZED

I MEAN HONESTLY ... THAT'S INSANE

HA HA

#WOOLWORTHSHUMOR

If it wasn't peach Hi-C you wuz opening with that pizza cutter/root canal wrench (well identified!), we can no longer be friends.

I see what you did there. Twice. If you did more than two things, I didn't see all of them.

This was obviously a Herculean effort, and I'm feeling a little slackery, so I wanted to make my own small contribution by identifying some of the more obvious counterfeit memes you've shared (and not shared) here. I am pretty sure I heard my nephew who was home from college saying at Thanksgiving that memes like these threw the election. I have no idea what he was talking about, but just in case he was right:

First of all, almost all the ones with more than one font/effect are from either the Russians (bottles; Woolworth's) or the front porch lobbying industry (the front porch one). Easy to tell now, when it looks like some clown-ski just plopped green lettering onto someone else's hard-earned meme, but they'll catch on to the fact that we've caught on to them soon.

Turtle: also from Russia. Look at that face; hometurtle lives in a gulag.

Bear: not counterfeit, but honest to God, if my teddy bear called me at midnight and he *didn't* have tears in his eyes ... no, wait. Too harsh. Let's try this one: If my teddy bear has tears in his eyes at midnight and calls me because he needs 'help,' I'll be getting a new teddy bear -- one who's heard of damn Kleenex.

Buttered rice: too obvious to merit explanation.

Also, have we talked about memeception before? Because the only way I don't see a next-gen meme that says "Who remembers this meme about who remembered this school glue?" before I die involves a plane crash.

One more question: That one guy only wants us to share if we remember that specific pair of skates, right? Not just that style of old skates? Asking for a friend. A friend who won't be sharing that meme or, really, doing much else until he hears from you first.

Janey: We leaned more toward fruit punch (? Was that a thing? It was red.) Hi-C, but I have great affection for peach Hi-C. So we can still be friends.

troy: I mean, what can I say? So many valid points. I WILL say that I was actually going to make a joke about the skates meme being about that particular pair of skates, and it honestly pleases me to end when I thought about going somewhere with something, don't-- for whatever reason, but usually because I forgot or couldn't think of the wording-- and you comment about going there.

For what's it worth-- and please tell your nephew this-- I had written a whole pseudo angry CAPS LOCK diatribe about people sharing the skates meme being racist, bitter Trump voters, but ultimately deleted it. I didn't want to play into the Russian bots' hands. Thankfully, they don't read the comments (?).
