Today’s topic is kind of hard for me to write about. I’m not
100% sure if what I’m about to write is right but…I’ll try my best. So, I do
like to read but usually the books I read are books with only one picture, the
front cover. So I’m going to avoid the books as a text right now and talk about
something I was shown recently and have grown quite fond of.
Memes. These little pictures with
funny sayings on them have become pretty entertaining for me lately. My friend
Mike showed me these about a week or so ago and I now go to quickmemes all the
time to check them out. There are many different types or categories of memes,
but my favorite ones would have to be
Philosoraptor, Conspiracy Keanu, College Freshman, Scumbag Steve, and
Good Guy Greg. But my favorite category of meme is Futurama Fry. I’ve also
noticed that ISU has a university meme page as well.
Like I said, memes have both a
picture with text as well. The picture is the same for each meme of the same
category but the words change and are usually pretty funny. At the end of my
blog post, I have a link to my favorite meme category Futurama Fry. So many of
his memes are funny and I can relate to some of them, which makes them even
funnier.
I’m glad Mike showed me memes,
although they have been a distraction for when it comes time for school stuff
but it’s worth it. They are super funny and I haven’t seen anything like them
before. They have some pretty good points/ideas and are relatable for everyone.
Like I said, I don’t really know a lot about them but I like to just go to
quickmemes and just click on new ones everyday and get a good laugh.

Memes are fun. I personally like the ones with Dwight from the Office.

I agree with your comment about how this blog was kind of confusing, I also had trouble understanding it. I have never heard of these meme things before they sound really interesting and funny from the way you describe them. I am most likely going to look them up once I get home.

Memes are awesome, you should buy this Mike character some Gardettos this weekend
ReplyDeleteMemes are hilarious! I don't usually see the ones that you posted but I have found a couple on Pintrest that have made me smile. If you enjoy looking at memes I suggest getting a pintrest becuase there are a lot of people on it that post them :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that this blog was confusing for you. Memes are an interesting writing genre though. A lot of them are really funny and the process is really simple since many of them use the same picture over and over again. But notice how some of them are not effective in their humor? This is mainly due to the joke not working well with the picture. I've noticed that Futurama Fry and other Memes using fictional characters usually work very well, however. The majority of their memes fit the criteria in making a funny meme. My personal favorite: Condescending Wonka
