Don’t quote the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written.

I take issue with the first description of the first one. It is an evolution from what was courage wolf. Courage wolf was a meme template where the top line set up the situation and the bottom showed how you courageously did something in response.

People then took it to the next level with insanity wolf, the one depicted here. The top line is the same, setting up some kind of situation. But the bottom line changed to doing something absolutely insane that no person would ever ever do in real life.

Wow... Just when I thought it was over it just kept going... 😂

The 8th one, with the lady crying, is definitely wrong. It was a first-world problems, something people wirh comfy lives would complain that are not a real problem.

26
- That's basically what it says, just worded differently.
  
  20
- "Third" should be "first". I think its a slip of the keyboard.

  That was my thought at first. I think what they mean by "something a third-world person would like to complain about" is more like "someone from a third world country wishes they had those kinds of problems instead of the ones they do"

- Yep, that's the correct usecase.

Damn, that’s probably like $500 at https://lemmy.world/c/antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world

- Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world

  whoa - good bot!

  good bot

  For some reason the link posted by Ghostalmedia worked for me but the link posted by the bot didn't. Can anyone explain why? Is it just because I'm on the lemmy.world instance?

  im on the Summit app and it treats it like an email, ignoring the !
  
  probably the apps fault

A time when memes were fun and goofy. Now it's all smug-looking wojaks. Can't we all agree to go back to those days?

24
- We already have
  
  13
- We are
  
  4
- Eh, we had ragefaces before we shifted to those image captions. And we also had demotivational posters before the ragefaces

  Early rage faces could be good. The low barrier of entry allowed people who couldn't before to express some funny ideas. Then they ran out of ideas and continued to beat the dead horse.

- There's still goofy ones, you just gotta look harder

Anyone remember foul bachelor frog?

14
- History became legend.
  
  Legend became myth.
  
  And for two and a half thousand years, Foul Bachelor Frog passed out of all knowledge.

- Foul Bachelorette Frog caused some real uncomfortable and eye opening ruckus for a lot of folks.

Real Confession Bear memes were my favorite

- I don't know why exactly but Good Guy Greg always cracked me up.
  
  Maybe it's because I'm an asshole. Still waiting to see one of those memes pop up.

  I was more a Shitbag Steve connoisseur (I can't remember the real name so please no Crucifixion!)
  
  4
- I remember when someone confessed to a murder with one, and after that couldn't be topped it started to fade away

  Yea I remember that. His sisters drug addicted boyfriend if my memory serves. He said he laced it and the cops ruled it an overdoes. Not sure it was ever verified but there was definately backlash
  
  2
- Far too many people are using confession bear to gather sympathy for non-confessions
  
  "My boss told me to kill 52 orphans and yell racial slurs at black people but I told him to fuck off, even though you shouldn't swear. (Now please go ahead and tell me how good of a person I actually am)"

  Like I said. "Real" Confession Bear memes.

I know it's about following convention, and most of these make sense between the image and the caption, but the duck is just a duck, and there's no reason it can't be used for anything else

- How could you make good advice duck dirty like that
  
  12
  
  Especially when it's actual advice mallard

- You don't seem to understand what a meme is, the whole point is that we're using certain images for certain situations - like a shortcut that helps you get to the joke quicker.

Maybe don't even post shit tier normie memes that have been dead for a decade, how about that? Use your brain and come up with actual content instead of making Lemmy look like reddit's retarded brother

-29
- You've made a single post on the Fediverse and you're in here chirping off about the content that you see? Maybe don't bitch about things others are enjoying while you contribute nothing

- Why are you like this?
