I'm just happy you thought it was funny, dear

  Especially with niche internet culture like here on Lemmy. Very few people understand the “highly sophisticated” bean memes we’ve got.

    “So a guy asking how not to shit for a weekend was funny for a whole month?”

    When you put it that way we sound weird!

      Wait, there’s actual context behind the bean memes? I’ve been missing out.

    I have been around when the bean meme came and I still don’t know how that meme started.

  The best memes are buried in 6 layers of irony and meta-references.

    So like, she had a miscarriage and is crying about it and her boyfriend makes it just in time to see the results and uh yeah it’s the funniest thing ever why are you leaving

      No, wait, it gets better. Get this. Circle jerk about it for a couple of decades and it gets funnier, oh, OK, still going.

      I think its more about how Tim Buckley is terrible than anything. It sort of collapsed into its own joke.

      At this point we’re like three jokes deep.

      The original reaction to the comic was kind of a collective chuckle of “Whahahahat the fuck?” Because the comic was like discount store brand Penny Arcade, irreverent bullshit gamer humor, and then comes the sudden plotline that the girlfriend character has a miscarriage.

      Like, Loss itself isn’t bad in and of itself; telling the story of the character’s journey through the hospital with no dialog, it’s competent…but it stood in such contrast to what the comic had been about for so long and the audience just wasn’t on board with it that it became a controversy. And Buckley’s clap back against it and the following drama made it memetic.

      At some point, the imagery became so recognizeable even in the abstract that it became a prank to communicate the idea of the comic in as abstract a form as possible, hence the “Is this Loss” meme. Somewhere between rickrolling and “you just lost the game.”

      Its not “haha” funny, but rather “aha” funny.

  I usually don’t have a hard time explaining referencial humor when it’s, like, an older movie that was super popular in my day to a younger person who hasn’t seen it; but memes are often inexplicable unless you just know.

  Honestly, things like that remind me how vast the internet is. There are some things that I think are just ubiquitous that my friend has never heard of before. She had never heard of Creepy Pastas. She had never seen Long Long Man. She didn’t know what an SCP was. I was baffled. Made me think about my own digital world, and what sources I may be completely blind to.

      At the time it was the best way to duct tape over someone else’s long-forgotten but recently uncovered cut corner.

      And so the cycle continues.

      This is the bad thing about finding a good employer…the type you feel okay staying at a long time because they treat you well, the pay is reasonable and the benefits are great.

      That’s where I’m at now, and I’m starting to get bit in the ass by my own harebrained ideas, too.

      One of the funniest that shows just how little people know is this, a conversation I heard from someone like a month ago: “[name] is nonbinary, she uses they/them pronouns right?”
      for context this is a Gen z person, not even a retired grandma who doesn’t go around queer people at all, there was a group of really fruity folk next to them about dieing for their whole conversation
