I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But this… This is something else.
The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.
For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?
….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE
it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here
ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)
this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)
“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)
and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)
which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)
I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.
average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted
it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics
I was getting a political compass vibe too
tag urself im man door hand hook car gun
This works better than I thought it would.
This was in my senior project
I’m not sorry.
EIGHT MEME COMBO

You know I had to
I hope you know this is the most cursed addition to my post, and I love it
THIRTEEN!?
SOMEONE EDIT THIS FROM THE ORIGINAL PHOTO SAYING “this one does not spark joy” TO THIS VERSION SAYING “this one sparks joy”
well i added my contribution : )
why—
IM SCREAMING
This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.
“You’re in your 30s, but you still understand all this meme stuff?” “Oh yeah, sure.” “Can you explain it to me?” “I absolutely fucking cannot.”
One does not simply explain this
Edit:
Another freaking layer!!!
16 motherfucking layers
In the future someone’s going to ask me to explain this and I’m going to be at a loss.jpg for words
I’m not reblogging this because I want to. I’m reblogging this because sometimes you’re a witness to history whether you want to be or not, and you have to embrace that.
GUYS STOP!! IF WE CONTINUE ON THIS ROAD, THE MEME WILL BECOME TOO POWERFUL!
No keep going, let’s see if we can brake tumblr. If we do let’s use it to brake fb and twitter
You’re chaotic neutral I love it
What he said
Struck by inspiriation twice lads
My humble contribution
I love going through the notes of this and seeing my 16 layer version and 24 layer version circulating.
a dragon finds a clutch of goose eggs and attempts to hatch them
“Brave heroes, please help us for our town is being terrorised. A great evil has fallen upon us, descending from the yonder dragon’s cave in the mountain” “So you’re being attacked by a dragon? Pardon me but I see no sign of fire damage” “Well, you see, it’s not the dragon that’s the problem…”
your TAGS
#the dragon and the town are actually relatively amicable #the dragon eats a few sheep a month #and the last warlord who tried to put the place to the sword got roasted alive because excuse me those are my sheep farmers #however the Dragon’s Children are another matter #in this the dragon is not an intelligent creature per se but it can understand that the people maintain the delicious wooly things #and should not be killed #it’s a sort of symbiotic association #its goose children terrorising the village though is Not Its Business
Untitled Goose origins and why the townspeople can’t actually hurt you. Also, a goose with a hoard is definitely dragon inspired.
in case anyone was wondering, this is Dean Balsamini; the NY Post reporter who doxxed a 23 year old EMT for having an OnlyFans account despite her begging him not to publish the story after he snooped around on her anyway.
aside from trying to make ends meet as an EMT with an OnlyFans gig on the side, she also was working as a part time restaurant host, during a pandemic. this piece of shit reporter went behind her back and informed her employer about her OnlyFans gig. Dean Balsamini and Susan Edelman disregarded the ethics of journalism and published the story as well as the EMT’s name without permission anyway, resulting in a maelstrom of heartache and stress for this 23 year old EMT who has since received death threats and has lived in fear of losing her job—DURING A PANDEMIC.
let Balsamini know how you feel:

A reminder to everyone that outing a sexworker is an act of VIOLENCE as long as we are still fighting for decrim.
My heart goes out to this woman in this horrendous time, especially on today, December 17th: the international day to end violence against sex workers.
Honestly even after decrim, as long as the stigma is enough to lose you your other job, your housing, and/or your kids… outing a sex worker is a violent and malicious act.
The AAA videogame industry just arbitrarily deciding that videogames should cost 70 bucks now when they’re not only still abusing employees(and normalizing it more and more) but churning out increasingly samey bug riddled garbage at lower and lower quality levels then having the nuts to ask for microtransaction money after that is just a little bit infuriating frankly.
taking care to check in with my 9+ years mutuals not only out of genuine love but because they have cia level dirt on me and how i behaved as a deranged 15 year old
me and my ancient mutuals dining and loving eachother and knowing each holds the self destruct button for another in the group
tumblr refusing to assign any kind of verified status to accounts is probably what killed its profitability since companies pretty much just got impersonated and bullied off of the website but i think it saved Posting on here. could you imagine if there were blue checkmark people on here? could you imagine if they started adding fact checks to the bottom of people’s posts if they contained certain words? could you imagine if there were rules here??
