\nWE\u2019VE HIT TERMINAL MEME
\nI\u2019ve said\u00a0\u201cI hate this\u201d so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because\u00a0\u201cI hate this\u201d is just shorthand for\u00a0\u2018this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn\u2019t expecting with intent to surprise\u2019. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
\nBut this\u2026 This is something else.
\nThe rapidity of a meme\u2019s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you\u2019ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It\u2019ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare\u2019s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.
\nFor the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?
\n\u2026.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE
\nit is a YMCA reference - that\u2019s one of the 6 memes being represented here
\nok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)
\nthis first lyric replacement (\u201dtake the breadsticks and run\u201d) is a reference to the tumblr meme \u2018stuffing breadsticks into my purse\u2019. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that\u2019s meme two (2)
\n\u201cman door hand hook car door\u201d is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic\u00a0\u2018stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us\u2019 story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
\n\u2018gun\u2019 is\u2026 yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to \u201cman door hand hook car door\u201d for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)
\nand the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes\u00a0meme five (5)
\nwhich leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
\n(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i\u2019ve ever seen. the initial\u00a0\u2018young man\u2019 lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme\u00a0\u2018gun\u2019 matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)
\nI wasn\u2019t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna\u2018s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.
\naverage tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted
\nit might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg\u2019s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000\u2019s rage comics
\nI was getting a political compass vibe too
\ntag urself im man door hand hook car gun

This works better than I thought it would.
