Casually Explained: Memes

Video Overview & Insights

Memes and meme culture the two most requested ever so I had to give it a go. Felt uncomfortable even making the thumbnail.

Thanks....I did ask.

I love how it started as a word from selfish genes by richard dawkins and turned into a part of culture

I think the reason Pepe can't die is because there is no way for it to be used by Jimmy falon. He will never use it. So instead of dying he just stays alive.

I have a very easy and simplistic way to explain memes, through comparisons.


Memes are basically the Bible
People these days are basically medieval farmers

People today believe, trust and reenact memes in the same way that medieval people believed God was real and intelligence was proof of witchcraft.

Ahktually, I shared my first photocopied meme in 1984. Physically, under the windshield wiper of a random car. Mickey Mouse giving the finger thanking the owner of the car for parking so f´in close next time why not leave a tin opener etc. I was 9. I didn´t even have a car.

It's true. Memes died 6 years ago, when this video came out.

I strongly relate to t3h Pengu1N oF d00m. My values as a 13 year old were also strongly tied to "being random"

How can you casually explain memes without even mentioning RickRoll perhaps the greatest meme ever??

@Jpbrepka

Usually boring jokes that get so overused that you want to log off

@Alianger

Like, if you paused this video million times to read memes

@igorkustov

6:43 insane cotton eye joe reference

@Omlett_E7

Close but no cigar! "1337 5p34k" does not exist, because if you aren't retarded (both via "10-year-old" reasons or via "adult on the news" reasons), it's just l33t! And l33t isn't a meme! (It's only a meme by the original 1800s definition, not by the actual definition!) The first meme is O RLY owl!

@davedaring9823

I got inspired by your video to make a video that you have to pause every 2 seconds to read memes : https://youtu.be/bKRcwYNdhmo
