[spacebaloney]

there's too many people here who don't know what a meme is

this is shameful. i want a refund.

please imagine him literally flipping through pokemon social media to doublecheck his memeing here

[meteorman]

Wait. I think I know what I'm supposed to say in this situation.


This is so sad. Primarina, sing Despacito.

[meteorman]

What. That's what it is.

[rediscover]

you're missing the entire point of the meme!

[meteorman]

In my defense the point isn't exactly crystal-clear.

[lionroll]

[yu_hoo]

Huh. Never saw that meme before.

[hellablue]

i know right? but i mean he did sorta
bounce around the universe
so we should probably cut him some slack
but only a little

i'm so proud of him

[hellablue]

I see. Thank you.

Unless this is teenage sarcasm? But I would like to think I'm getting good at spotting that.

[rediscover]

i GUESS
but only a little bit! he needs to keep up just like the rest of us time travelers!!

[rediscover]

says you!! it's pretty obviously a play on people who are confused about what a meme is in the first place!
aren't you like a genius :P

[starry_forehead]

....uh, I don't think that's what they were going for, Grunkle Ford.

Didn't Mabel show you her pictures of Waddles dressed up in a business suit with the captions, back home? I'm pretty sure she shows those to everyone.

[Dipper at least has a sister to know most memes from.]

[meteorman]

That much is obvious, yes. But the use of a Beautifly in particular must have some reasoning behind it. I assume that man is someone specific. The context of this particular brand of joke is what makes it funny. For instance, the pictures of me insisting on bringing my Ninetales into inappropriate situations for a Ninetales to be in all hinge on the knowledge that this is something I have done before, publicly and on purpose. Without that context the joke is merely that a stranger is doing something stupid, which in and of itself isn't funny enough to make the joke more than once. For a joke like this, one which is repeated so often people intuitively understand the humor merely on sight, context is necessary.
