Hey! Let's Make a Meme!

[Tinneh]

Since I'm bored, I've decided to brainstorm with you guys about a meme The Escapist could be recognized for, because we can, that's why!

The simplest thing I can think of would be an Advice Dog spin-off with Yahtzee saying one of his quotes.

BRAINSTORM, PUNY MORTALS!

 

[Eumersian]

The Dukeroll. Leading someone to a screenshot of Duke Nukem Forever, while calling it something else! Classic!

Actually, that might be a bad idea.

This cannot end well. Most (if not all) entertaining memes stem from something spontaneous that is itterated ad nauseum on the internet. Trying to force a meme almost always ends in disaster.

Besides, forcing humor just doesn't work. It needs to be organic, spontaneous, and in-the-moment.

Have we all forgotten the disaster of Milhouse?

He is not a meme is not a meme is not a meme IS NOT A MEME. DEAL WITH IT.

Anyway, I kinda dig the idea of the advice dog/yahtzee thingy.

Memes are naturally occurring, silly.

 

[SimuLord]

BRAINSTORM, PUNY MORTALS! We have to get a meme going!

(u c wut I did thar?)

 

[MercurySteam]

Memes are a natural occurrence on the internet. They'll reveal themselves over time.

Quite true.

If you love memes so much, then I ask if you know your meme. [http://knowyourmeme.com/]

P.S. Your avatar make me lol.

No forced memes can be allowed to prosper.

That is a cardinal rule of memes. Memes must occur naturally, from a special occurrence, or from unplanned repetition of something spectacularly funny.

Those who violate these rules will be backtraced by the Cyber Police, and have their faces chewed off by Insanity Wolf.

Did that happen here? I know it's hard to tell this site apart from that cesspool on occasion, but he could work here... can't he?

It should be possible to sit down and create a meme.. It's no different to engineering a killer virus in lab. Wait... this probably won't end well.

No, that wasn't here. I wanna say that was 4chan, I'm too lazy to go check KnowYourMeme.com.

 

[TheComedown]

You clearly don't understand what a meme is if "creating them" is your idea of killing boredom.

 

[theComposer]

No offense, but if you want to start a meme, you'd have better luck over on 4chan. Otherwise...

Memes are naturally occurring, silly.

This. You can't force things to be funny and/or entertaining. It just doesn't work that way.

But Milhouse is not a meme is a meme.

BRAINSTORM, PUNY MORTALS! I'm not sure if I like where this is going. But I have an idea. Remember the pokemon fusion thread? My new meme is, and prepare for immaturity, "I choose you, Butterape!".

 

[diego_2112]

There isn't a spin-off of the Advice Dog that isn't annoying.

I dont know, I'm a pretty big fan of Courage Wolf... He has given me some great advice in my life:

Climb the higest mountain, Punch the face of God!

Do not believe in yourself... Believe in me, who believes in you!

Depression breeds depression, Confidance breeds SUCCESS!!!

If at first you dont succeed, kill the fucker that did!

When life hands you lemons, JUICE THAT FUCKER!

And my PERSONAL favorite:

Walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death; Stop to take a piss!

 

[sheic99]

The Escapist already has 2 memes, the basement and ponies. We don't a forced meme.

 

[unoleian]

True memes just happen. They're, like, spontaneously generated out of the scum that gathers in the grates of the intertubes. You might cook up a good inside Escapist joke with a heroic effort, but even the best of those occur organically as well.

Everything else is doomed to failure. Or, so I say. And so it is.
