Are gaming meme's getting famous?

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

Just look at this clip from How I Met Your Mother.
I seems internet jokes have been leaking into the big wide world nowadays.
I just wanted to know, has anyone else seen any?

EDIT: I was really confused as to put this in gaming discussion or off topic, so if anyone thinks its wrong just mod it. Ta.

I'm over 9000% sure he was referring to the show.

Oh he said Tv in general, nvm then,

and god dam that memes old, can't we get some, "cake is a lie" "pills here" or "This is my favourite x on y"

I did enjoy that one, but people who don't know about Jenkins won't find it as funny.

Let's just assume both.
Seriously, when was the last time you saw LJ referenced, besides now?

it was like when everyone on 4chan got annoyed because something vaguely similar to courage wolf appeared on some random TV show (i'm not sure which one).

it's like LOLcats, although they've been dead for ever. they were on an episode of big bang theory if i remember correctly.

 

[Pegghead]

That's not the first time World of Warcraft's been referenced on How I met your mother (Man I love that show).

You're damn right they're getting famous, just take a gander at this

No because a meme is a primitivised concept of sign and gaming signs are arcane to external observers. Signs are not limited they are socialised throughout a culture. To use the term meme you express it as a poorly misunderstood analogy to a 'saying' this is not what a meme is.

Yes gaming is 'famous' (try 'widespread into mainstream culture') Itll make yah sound smarts.

65% of the tax paying populace play games duh.

EDIT: In retrospect the fact its on HIMYM means it isnt popularised at all, its a subset genre of twee middleclass white folk that arent funny.

Am I detecting anger in my direction? Why?

Johnny Test has a HALO suit in one episode.

 

[oppp7]

I think so. As the internet becomes more mainstream there's more media trying to cash in on memes' popularity and relative... newness...(can't think of the word)

Urm anger WTF do you deduce that from. Meme doesnt mean what you think it means. Gaming is rapidly becoming a more dominant form of media than television, newspapers and film. So yes its kinda famous lol.

Also in breaking news Britney Spears more well known than Betsy P Humblebottom and water is wet

Oh sorry, got condescending mixed up with anger.
