Let's get this straight guys, memes can be funny stuff. While hilarity can ensue, these memes are often being over used to the point where they're no longer funny.
If you find a meme funny, show it to your friends, don't make webcomics about them.
Let's have a look at three offending comics posted just in the last week.
In today's Ctrl Alt Del comic, this was the third panel. If you've ever been to the dregs of the Internet, 4chan, you'd know this is a subtle reference to the "goatse" pictures. For those who don't know, these are self taken pictures of a man(with the wedding band seen above) stretching the walls of his anus, exposing his colon. It's just another shock picture akin to Tubgirl or Lemonparty, but damn... this joke has been done to death for YEARS.
Dueling Analogs supplied the other two dishonorable mentions here for this weeks and last weeks comics. This one is another Meme that's atleast five years old. Back at e3 2004, four bored journalist dudes were watching Shigeru Miyamoto talk about that years Ninty goodies. The first picture is a reference to a snapshot of the four men during a Pacman game, the second was when the Twilight Princess trailer was shown. It was ridiculous, it was funny, but come on now, we're talking the FIRST Twilight Princess trailer. I've seen some cute Mother 3 mockups that are used to tell each chapters plots, but this may as well be cut/pasting.
Last week's Dueling Analogs was much worse though. Probably the biggest, most popular Internet meme out there is the beloved lolcats. I like lolcats, but that's because I like cats. Bad grammar isn't the only thing that makes those pictures funny. Without the ridiculous pictures of the cats, those hack phrases wouldn't even conjure up a chuckle. Seriously, lolpacs?
