  <content>&lt;h2&gt;About&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the term Buzzkill predates popular usage of the internet, the present tense verb Buzzkilling today is largely associated with a 4chan meme that places more value on the comedic subtletly of straight-forward explanations of what is out of place in an image. In short, it is a form of anti-joke.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Origin&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although &lt;a href=http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/put-yourself-in-my-shoes&gt;Put Yourself in My Shoes&lt;/a&gt; never caught on with 4chan, the &amp;#8220;Those are my shoes. You are a dog&amp;#8221; inspired the creation of other, simpler image macros utilizing the same anti-joke format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ED offers some commentary on the subject:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that one iteration of a five year old meme has become a meme in itself says something about the need for Original Content.&lt;/p&gt;
