I hate LolCats and "The cake is a lie". First of all, I don't want to read something seemingly written by a kindergartner. I don't want to read it 5-6 times to figure out what you meant. Also, bad grammar makes me cringe. The cake is a lie has just been done to death and was even featured on a national news channel. I am just sick of hearing it.
The cake is a lie. The worst part is a lot of it is from people that haven't even played Portal, and the most obvious one, it's been used so much everyone should have diabetes! On a side note: I fucking love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, personally I feel there's a similar stereotype to older men liking MLP:FiM as there is for older men playing video games, it's not so much the people that like it, but the mindset of the people that are against it.
EDIT: That is kind of stretching it a bit since MLP is just a show and not an entire medium like "video games"

Honestly, any meme can be funny. Most are, for a bit.
I don't get all the hate for MLP. I'm not a huge fan, but I find the whole thing hilarious. Except for the violence towards bronies.

All memes were funny once. I mean, they wouldn't have become popular if they weren't. Some of them have just been overly driven into the ground.
I will say, though, that "The Game" has become annoying since it became a meme. It was fine as the psychological experiment it was meant to be. Then someone decided that "You just lost the game" was the height of hilarity, and whoever did so should be stabbed.
For the sake of the poll, I voted for the ponies. And I tried to watch that show. Honestly, I found it as fascinating as any other children's show - something I would recommend to my five-year-old sister, but nothing I would destroy my brain watching.

Kanye, mostly because I can't stand him and anything that reminds me of his existence is annoying.
Also, Fluttershy is not impressed by the MLP hate in this thread.

To be honest, I'd have to say all of them. Such things are, by definition, used until they no longer have any entertainment value left. And then they are used for awhile longer for reasons that don't really make a lot of sense.
I have little kids, all girls. Please, for the love of god, enough with the fucking ponies! We have every pony movie ever made, the TV series (yes, there was one), all the ponies, new and old, accesories for the ponies, on and on, it never ends. I would buy them barbies, I really would, if only they would give up the ponies! It's like creepy eyed, plastic crack.
By your logic i could easily say that any featured avatar on this forum is pushing such a series into my face.Azure9 said:
Like myself you can easily ignore something that annoys you especially on a forum such as this one and if you can't respect someone's taste then i don't know how much tolerance you could ever possibly attain to anything else.
I'll let you know something i hate it's chavs the scum of Great Britain i have to deal with them almost everyday walking around any part of town yet i still manage to put up with them and heck i even manage to find a few nice one's out of the bunch that are as normal as you and i.
Oh, sweet OP. You've gone and given me a soapbox. I'm sorry for this, friends, I truly am, but you know that I cannot stop myself...telocaster said:
Rather than focus on specifics (besides, I've already given the bronies enough shit for like the next 2 years), let me just share my perspective as a person who spends 98% of his time on the sidelines with respect to memes. None of this is directed at a person; it's just what happens in my head when I see any meme that isn't actually pretty funny/relevant.
Shut. The fuck. Up.
I'm pretty DIY, pretty subversive. I like to keep people on their toes, and I don't like indulging cliches unless I'm mocking them or subverting them from within or lampooning them. I also have to remind myself to lighten up, as a lot of things that are popular are popular because they deserve to be. This includes slang and all cultural phenomenons. "Facepalm" still doesn't bother me one bit. Hell, Friends references in moderation don't bother me. But encountering a person on the internet who speaks entirely in memes, in other words entirely in someone else's language, someone else's jokes, someone else's reactions/thoughts that were clever until they "went viral" (shoot me now), is exactly like meeting someone in real life who only knows how to communicate in sitcom/reality TV references. And that, friends, is sad. It's not that I have an inherent aversion to meme usage; rather, it's relying on memes to communicate what another person apparently thinks they can't communicate better with their own words or, Hell, their own memes. Personally, when I can't come to an agreement with someone on the Escapist or when they just start telling me ad nauseum that I am stupid because I disagree with them, rather than flame with them I look up an image of Fez from That 70's Show and tag it with "I said good day, sir!" (I was recently told that he doesn't say "sir." See, I don't even do it well, I'm not even any good at this, and it's still more thoughtful and more funny than posting a picture of a mentally challenged stick figure that says "Derpy derp derp.") Apparently Morbo, the alien conquerer/newscaster from Futurama, is gaining traction (this I have no problem with, as Morbo is objectively cool as shit). Someone started a batshit thread about future tech, and said that he envisioned flying windmills. A poster who is far more clever than I embedded the following in response:
...but when people started posting this on threads that did not discuss windmills, the meme lost all of its flare. ("Here's my flare!" Great, you've picked up on the worst joke in one of the best comedies ever. Good job.)
I guess I just don't understand how anyone thinks that posting a huge pic stating "not a single fuck was given that day" communicates anything other than desperation. Someone else's snarky comments and stupid owl photos does not make you (yes, you, not the ubiqutous you) sound original. Keep on quoting George Carlin and Bill Hicks for relevant conversations, but for the love of the God in whom I do not believe, cut that U Mad Bro O RLY Derp Derp bullshit out.
...and that is the meme that I do not enjoy.
