About

“Cool Story, Bro” is a popular catch phrase / image macro used as a sarcastic response to to thread posts, trolls and general comments that are deemed boring, pointless or just too long to read (also denoted as "tl;dr). The phrase is said to have originated from YouChewPoop (though it hasn’t been confirmed) and it’s one of the trademark comments exchanged on 4chan.

[Ed: can anyone provide origin info/links?]

cool story, bro

but not exactaly a meme. its just a comment. its just like saying that because alot of people say something is gay, then calling something gay would be a meme.

Well, like you said in the description, Dave, this is really just Copypasta. And since that’s true, I don’t think it can be considered a meme. If anything, it could be added to the Copypasta entry as a revision.

I-I use this one a lot. But most of the time it isn’t appropriate because where I use it, the poster already made a tl;dr joke.

In reference to its origin, the saying first popped up in 4chan’s /v/ around mid 2008.

It became predominant during the summer and started to get spammed nonsensically ever since then.

The term probably goes farther back though.
