Meme

Quote:
A meme (pronounced /ˈmiːm/, rhyming with "cream"[1]) is a postulated unit of cultural ideas, symbols or practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena. (The etymology of the term relates to the Greek word μιμητισμός (pronounced /mɪmetɪsmos/) for "something imitated".)[2] Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes, in that they self-replicate and respond to selective pressures.[3]


So, the purpose of this thread is to collect and share memes that we think are common knowledge to us, but not every menber of the community may know about. Also, to see if we as a community have any of our own memes.

I'll start with a couple of the most widely known.

I'm posting this one because it's so old that many people probably never knew it existed. It might very well be the first internet meme.

I refer, of course, to the ate my balls meme. It started -- as far as anyone can tell -- with Mr. T Ate My Balls:

Then someone made Yoda Ate My Balls:

Things got of hand after that. Before anyone knew what was going on, it seems that everyone was eating our balls.

Memes are fun!

If you like it then you shoulda rolled need on it

... when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one.

When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming—as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin.

I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth.

A lot of the humor in OoTS is making fun of memes.

FATMOUSE.

Quote:
Image

FATMOUSE MAKES EVERYTHING A LOT BETTER. HE DOESN'T MAKE THINGS. HE MAKES THEM BETTER.

FATMOUSE WILL EAT DINNER ON YOUR GRANDMA'S LACE TABLECLOTH.

FATMOUSE CARES NOT ABOUT THE AFFAIRS OF SMALL MEN. FATMOUSE LIKES TO EAT.

FATMOUSE CAN MAKE YOU A WINNER. FATMOUSE CAN MAKE YOU A LOSER. FATMOUSE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT EITHER. IT IS FOR YOU TO CARE ABOUT FATMOUSE.

FATMOUSE HAS NO PATIENCE BUT MUCH HUNGER.

FATMOUSE TAKES UMBRAGE AT THE SIGHT OF YOUR SMALL TORSO AND WEAK FLACCID LIMBS. FATMOUSE IS NEVER FOOLED BY IMITATORS.

FATMOUSE WILL SPEAK AND YOU WILL LISTEN. FATMOUSE LIKES TO EAT. FATMOUSE DOES NOT CARE FOR YOUR MONEY OR YOUR SOCIAL STATUS OR YOUR STUPID ORDERED LIVES. FATMOUSE CARES ONLY FOR YOUR CARBOHYDRATES. FATMOUSE MUST FEED.

FATMOUSE IS COMING AND HE HAS A MESSAGE AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE IT. FATMOUSE WILL CONSUME YOUR POOR THIN WORLD AND REGURGITATE IT IN HIS OWN IMAGE. FATMOUSE DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU AND HE DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR MEAGRE HOPES AND DREAMS. IT IS BETTER TO WALK WITH FATMOUSE THAN TO BE IN HIS PATH, FOR FATMOUSE MUST FEED.

FATMOUSE DOES NOT USE MONEY. FATMOUSE EATS MONEY. FATMOUSE SHREDS MONEY FOR BEDDING. FATMOUSE REQUIRES VERY MUCH BEDDING. YOUR MONEY BELONGS TO FATMOUSE.

FATMOUSE IS A SUPERSTAR PAR EXCÉLLENCE. YOU DO NOT QUESTION FATMOUSE. FATMOUSE HAS A LIMOUSINE AND A YACHT AND A SWIMMING POOL. FATMOUSE DOES NOT SWIM. SWIMMING DESTROYS PRECIOUS CALORIES. LIFE IS NOT IMPORTANT. ONLY CALORIES ARE IMPORTANT.

Image

AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE, THE SCALES ARE TIPPED IN FAVOUR OF FATMOUSE. YOU ARE BUT ANOTHER CONSUMABLE IN A LONG LINE OF CONSUMABLES.

BUYING IN BULK SAVES YOU MONEY. SWALLOWING YOUR HEAD SPARES FATMOUSE THE SOUND OF YOUR THIN SQUEAKY PROTESTS. FATMOUSE'S DIGESTIVE TRACT CONTAINS SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL ACIDS KNOWN TO SCIENCE. FATMOUSE IS READY TO RUMBLE. FATMOUSE WILL RUMBLE ALL OVER YOUR HOMES AND LIVELIHOODS. YOUR FAMILY IS NOTHING BUT A PERISTALTIC SHIFT TO FATMOUSE.

The song "Hot Shot City" is particularly good (read the comments (all 1,050 of them))

I refuse to watch any of the videos posted in this thread. One of them has to be a rickroll.

I have posted no rickrolls. I don't believe any of the other videos are rickrolls either.

That's exactly what someone who wanted to rickroll everybody would say.

I love that "Take On Me" literal video. I just lose it every time I hear, "This guy's gonna get an assful of pipe wrench!" Also, "everything's drawn and super 80s. Lots of squiggly lines!" :D
