Hello my dear, singular reader. The Meme Examiner is a new weekly series brought to you by the creative, and often disturbing mind, of the internet "memer"(if you will allow me to use technical language).
The goal of each volume is to pick apart 10 memes that I find particularly interesting, and through doing that, completely eliminate any sort of humor that they may hold within.
Memes:
1. T(r)opical!
Is a little cold weather too much to ask?
This first meme goes out to all of you who live on the east coast. As you can see, this particular meme includes a dialogue between the residents of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States and Mother Nature. It also features a rather alarming picture of Hurricane Florence as it hurtles towards our beautiful North Carolina coast. Maybe memes will save us.
​2. Checkmate Atheists!​
Thanks God!
Whether you believe in the Christian story of creation, or you prefer to subscribe to some other reason for our existence, someone has to answer for the incredible amount of Wii Sports skill that has been bestowed upon me.
​3. Football Season​
Wow! Look at us go.
I have to say, living in a country that is just so dominant in one of the most important aspects of life is so empowering. Wouldn't you agree?
4. Daily Elon Drama
Oof
Oh how relatable you are, beloved meme. Such pseudo-sillies, am I right Sartre?
5. Vaccines Please!
Mom Power!
Oh wow the memes are getting spicy and controversial this week! I know it's a contentious topic, but please, for the betterment of the human (and planetary race), vaccinate your children.
6. Conversion Bonanza!
Just when we thought we had achieved world peace
"The Office" memes never go out of style. They offer such tension and dry-humor to the average Netflix binge watcher, so why not the Internet surfer?
7. Watch out for them Commies!
She should have disclosed that before marriage!
Wow, the blending of generic text with a vintage movie poster really increases the overall visual appeal of this meme. Its message is also straightforward and poignant, 10/10.
8. Side of Beef!
I think this one speaks for itself.
9. The Forbidden "Friendzone"
Objection!
One of my favorite species of meme is the "too real" post. Memes that deliver a message that strikes close to home while maintaining a veil of humor. I think this one fits the bill.
10. The Finale!
Let them eat cake!
Cute or chubby animal - ✅
Clever historical reference - ✅
Short and sweet - ✅
That's all she wrote this week folks! And by she, I mean me.
Goodbye.
