atticus88th,

Is this in response to the BBC going mastadon?

AusatKeyboardPremi,

I hope not.

News organisations maintaining their own forums (in this case, a Mastodon instance) for journalism and related activities is a good thing.

Unglue1857,

Is mastadon a meme?

Knusper,

If you mean the typo, I’ve seen lots of people mistype it like that, who were new to the whole Fediverse.

…which could’ve made it a meme. So, I don’t know. 🙃

Rhabuko,

Seriously, social media brand accounts are always a huge turn off regardless how hard they try to be relatable or “funny”.

I. am. inevitable.

Also, I have a name, you know.

Apparently my branding isn’t strong to have you spell my name right. (It’s literally right there!). So for my next movie after the strike, there’s going to be twice the organic marketing on Lemmy now.

Also, that’s Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

(Make the laser pink and sparkly please. 💖)

Yay

MrBusinessII,

Marco Robbie! What am honor!

Knusper,

I always imagine, the poor social media person’s wage directly depends on how many viral posts they’ve made. And so they try and they try again, hoping that one day, one of their sterile brand-safe posts will somehow hit a nerve and make it big time.

Unfortunately, that still does not make these forced jokes any funnier.

god I remember when big brands first started using memes to relate to their customers. Cringe warning

CareHare,

Oh. Oh no.

I was expecting this one from 2004

What an idea, take intentionally bad music and art, then unleash it on people not in on the joke.

ech,

The Quiznos ads are modern art.

Those ads really worked well on me 20 years ago haha. So maybe not as stupid as first glance indicates.

Dampyr,

Call me edgy, but even at the phase between the brands using it and the normal use of the meme there’s the period when the meme is overused and kinda obnoxious (like the pickle Rick meme).

Then sometimes the template becomes deep fried or somewhat distorted and it gets funny again ahah

If you stop liking something because many people like it, you’re just as dependent on the mainstream as if you only like something if many people like it.
I just like stuff independently on whether other people like it. If many agree and use it, that’s cool.

jablaxlgargl,

I don’t think they meant they dislike it because a lot of people like it. A joke can just get stale when you see it too often.

Sometimes it doesn’t imo tho, I don’t know jokes are weird and

Phlogiston,

yeah, the second frame could show at least one person being obviously “over it” already

boeman,

That’s the point people your parents age become aware of the meme. Brands usually jump on when they know it’s safe, and grandma sharing it on Facebook shows it’s safe.

JoumanaKayrouz,

Pickle Rick was annoying when it was on the show when it first aired. It was meant to be

Gullible,

Reminds me of the always sunny interview where an audience member shouted “shut up, bird.” Kinda missed the point there.

ech,

Unfortunately there’s a lot of people who love IASIP because they find the shitty, terrible characters relatable.

Remember when brands went all in on “wagmi”? 🤢

DavidGarcia,

arymandias,

Sprich Englisch du Hurensohn!

Steeve,

Why were the blue people so unhappy when the fat red people showed up at the swingers party?

UserDoesNotExist,

Because they are fatphobic.

Steeve,

oh no
