Forums / Fun! / Just For Fun

The concept for this thread is simple. Know Your Meme doesn't have any way to search for comments. So in this thread, we go looking for the best comments on Know Your Meme and put up links to them! Links to the profiles of the original commenters are also encouraged – gotta give credit where credit is due. Linking up your own comments is discouraged, but not disallowed – I would prefer if people go searching for others' awesome material, though sharing your own best isn't out of the question. These comments can be funny, thought-provoking, insightful, profound… posted on articles, pictures, or videos… as long as they're awesome, go ahead and put them up here!

I'll start things off by putting up a string of comments from the "And then the murders began" article. I don't know what the original comment was referencing, but it quickly devolved into an impromptu parody of "All-Star" by Smash Mouth. Here's what's been put up so far…

Featured Users: MahWaht (original commentator), PresidentWezli333, Qnomei, Luigifan (yours truly), XM177

Also from the "And Then The Murders Began" article, well, it happened to be trending right next to the Garfield Gender Debate article. Zegorykz took notice and put up a panel of Garfield being quite displeased.

On an unrelated note, the infamous lover's-ashes dildo image got this snarky reply from Platus:

Pictured: the only known means of killing love.

Son, let me tell you the story of the good fffriggin threads…

Once upon a time, a man named Captain Blubber created a world. He named that world Riff Raff.
People loved this new world, and were interested in pushing the limits of what they could do here.
Eventually, they made an alliance, which they named "good fffriggin comment." Similar alliances followed, based on threads, ban messages, profiles, etc.
There was great fun to be had in this, but something odd started to happen. It had started becoming greatly politically charged. Not to mention, people began to gain a habit of hunting down and deprecating those featured in the good fffriggin threads. Decent contributions were few compared to the earlier days of the alliances, eventually leading to Blubber requesting his best friends, the mods, to close down these alliances. Now, the only surviving alliance is the "good fffriggin spambot" alliance, because those insulted, the spambots, can not feel pain.

Do you really wish to repeat history with this thread?

Sounds like a product of the karma system being spammed against users. That is a problem I have noticed in my short time on here.

Uh, no, I'm just interested in archiving cool comments.

Speaking of which, here's another… In response to this image…

Okay… After a long, weird series of posts on a weird image, we have this comment from El Lugubre…

“Not if you slap them with the tongue.”
Where is that guy who curates the out of context list?

On the subject of Dragonair's ears…

Necro910: That Krieger Dude made this disturbing hypothesis:

They’re obviously containers for the souls of defeated trainers, which it eventually consumes to extend its lifespan and induce hallucinations in the nearby population, leading to the sightings of flying dragonairs. These children will attempt to defeat the dragonair, leading to another victim absorbed by the dragon-snake demon.

Durvarowe was far more sensible:

Hearing organs.

Take the story of one Hadvar of Riverwood. A true Nord son of Skyrim, who joined the Imperial Legion out of a desire to protect his homeland and serve the cause of justice. Little did he know, that one day, the justice he delivered would be against the last person he could have expected. But that’s just the sort of thing that happens…in the Dragon Break.

By the way, the link for a post is located in its timestamp. (At the time I posted this, the comment I'm citing is 4 days old.)

Genry said this regarding the controversy over Krystal…

The point about Krystal was one of the very, very few good points that Anita Sarkeesian has made. Krystal was going to be the heroine of Dinosaur Planet, but then Nintendo decided it was a good idea to duct-tape their pre-existing IP to the game instead, just because they both had furries -- I think that was a bad move on Nintendo’s part, especially since it was the beginning of Nintendo’s IP drought of the 2000’s -- but the key point is that they wanted to keep Krystal in the game, and thought to themselves, “Hmm, where do we fit her in here… oh, I know! We’ll make her into Princess Peach!” I don’t think it’s meaningful to describe this as “problematic because muh agency”, but it’s questionable that the first idea the designers had about how to fit the character into the game was to make her into a cliche damsel motivation for the game’s excuse plot.

But holy fuck Anita.

Do you want to get spammed again? Just randomly tagging someone who said something about Krystal being hot, saying that “well, we haven’t masturbated to her; also krystal is broblemadig plz check out our video on the subject here”? What solicited this? Why are you disturbing social harmony by latching onto some wossizname’s casual tweet about Krystal being everyone’s waifu? Why?

Personally, I actually agree more with the replies pointing out Krystal's character development in Star Fox Assault and Star Fox Command.

Bumping this thread while I continue hunting for epic comments.

Do you know that feeling when someone makes a sequel to some game, movie or something similar that you like a lot even though the original ended it on a perfect spot..? You feel that the sequel just, like, added nothing of value and we would have been better off without it..? And the story no longer feels the same and loses all its magic..?
…Do you sometimes, just… sit back, look back in time, see reality from a perspective and think “…and what if we truly live in a computer simulation?”..? Do you… Do you think that the Mayans were actually right and the world should have ended in 2012, but whoever runs this computer simulation we call “life” just spontaneously decided to extend our story for no good reason, and we now live in a forced sequel..?

I do

Welp. I found an enlightening series of comments, this time on the Christian Sonic Fanart article.

Featured users: John Mitchell (OP), Zegorykz, Krashila, insert name here

(Zegorykz ends up here a lot… Is he aware of this thread? He needs to be made aware.)

From the same article's comments section, we have this gem from Kewln00berGator VIII:

Y’all need Jesus, except you Sonic fans. Y’all got a little too much Jesus here.

Then there's the witty reply by Astatine, Resident Hijab Enthusiast:

Ain’t such thing like “too much Jesus”--
looks at gallery

…compelling argument.

Finally, Dralemeres drops by to drive the whole train right off the cliff to Surrealsville:

You need a well balanced amount of jesus. Actually, can I offer some satanic fiber to make this shit pass by more easily?

Top Comment by Solid Mike with responses by Winday and A. R. Ghost

On the #AloneTogether article, Elpizo_ chimed in with this:

There's also this exchange on why splitting yourself off from human contact is a horrible idea. Or, in other words, there's a reason that solitary confinement is used to punish people.

Well Toriel.
You failed to save your adopted son.
You failed to save your actual own son.
I’m not even going to touch the subject of your ex.
You failed to save the other six humans that fell here.
And now you just took the life of the kid you wanted to adopt.
Life… Really sucks doesn’t it?

That's so sad… so why can't I stop laughing?!?

No, Captain Falcon… YOU ARE ANIME!

These three images…

Oh my God, my sides! It's an absolute goldmine! I'll be back soon!

All right, on the subject of "I love how red pilled this show can get"… (By the way, the name of the image is a reference to The Matrix. Go figure.)

Zegorykz (yes, him again) said:

Oh, shit.




We are no longer safe on the internet.

Winday said:

Did he mean Sanic or worse?

There's more where those came from, too, but I can't go around putting everything up here.

Speaking of the Gumball image…

insert name here made this wise remark:

“Who draws that stuff?!” – Next-to Any Fictional Character in the History of Ever if they ever searched their name on the Internet.

Meanwhile, I took a cursory glance through the trending images and briefly got… rather confused about Gumball's biological sex. (Hey, Rule 63 is a thing.) It took me a while to figure out that it was his mother being depicted as a MILF. But when I did, I couldn't resist chiming in with, well, this:

Gumball. Whatever you do. Do not. Google search. Your mother. You will be unhappy.

(By the way, that understatement at the end is a reference to GQ ranting about the flesh-eating Russian heroin known as Krokodil and the people who are idiotic enough to inject a flesh-eating substance into their bodies. Google search at your own risk – I don't think I'd have the stomach for it.)

Oh, and once again, Zegorykz made an amazing comment that I can't go into further detail on because I don't want to risk image overload.

Oh. Hey. This image on mirror lasers is another goldmine.

I like how the tone seems to change from 5 to 6.

5 has the speaker seeming freaked out by what’s about to happen. Then in 6, the speaker is resigned to the fact you will fuck the fox, but is calmly appealing to your dying morals to reconsider.

Here's one of my favorites:

The original image is here, I linked back to the thread in the comments.

On the Hillary Clinton Watchmen comic (WTF), ICICP said this:

I reckon that the comic ends with Bernie Sanders as a giant octopus alien smashing New York (and Wall Street) and bringing about world peace through the power of implicit hentai horror and being really fucking old.

As someone who really wanted Bernie Sanders to win the election, I can't help but find that funny.

A while back, I posted a cute comic of some SansxToriel fankids having a disco party with Gaster Blasters. I should have known that some people would comically overreact…

On the Blepe article, Rectum Wrecker said this:

>Matt Furie kills off Pepe
>Has a funeral for Pepe
>Thinks he has regained control
>Furie declared a “fucking monster”
>Brett appears at funeral
>Brett is targeted and renamed “Blepe”
>It’s the time for Blepe

There's more amazing comments where that came from.

Continuing with Blepe – as much as this thread is not supposed to be about tooting one's own horn, I just put up a short essay that I can't help sharing. It's precisely the sort of thoughtful commentary that this thread is meant to celebrate (well, alongside just-plain-funny stuff).

(And I do mean "essay", at least in terms of size – I had to split it into three parts! Though a lot of that is probably due to the hyperlinks… also, it's because of those hyperlinks (which are all there because they're important to the overall message of the post) that I copy-pasted the comments here verbatim instead of just taking a screenshot of them. I did make a few edits while I was copy-pasting the comment series here, because I'm a stickler for grammar and I think I left a few things out; to avoid giving off the impression of a self-retcon, I've put those edits in square brackets.)

I actually can't blame [Matt] Furie for doing this [killing off Pepe]. I think any cartoonist would be driven up the wall when their life's work is mutated into a symbol of hatred and oppression. We brought Pepe's "death" upon ourselves by ripping him from his family-friendly context and plopping him in places where he didn't belong.

But, with that said… really?!? Matt Furie really thought he could stop the Internet meme machine? Has he never heard of the terms "Death of the Author", "Streisand Effect", or "Fanon Discontinuity"?!? Especially that first one! Anyone with even a passing knowledge of fan culture (or human nature in general) should have seen that any attempt to un-meme Pepe would end in failure. People don't like being told what to think!!!

Let this be a warning to all artists [of all kinds]: once you've published something, your audience is going to do whatever they like with it, and you can't do anything to stop them – it's no longer in your hands. So if you don't feel comfortable with that thought, maybe you should think twice and figure out what subtext is going to hurt you.

But enough of things I've said. Let's get on with celebrating the wit of various KnowYourMeme users!

Continuing with Blepe, we have Jon the Wizard posing a very important question:

Some day, historians are going to look back on this and wonder, “what the hell were THEY smoking?”

In response, iotacom supplies a surprisingly rational (albeit cynical) reply. (Pay extra-close attention to the second sentence.)

Meh, if you compare this era to others throughout history, people have always been crazy and weird. It’s just more obvious to us now because the internet amplifies all aspects of the human condition.

So basically, what he's saying is that people today probably aren't significantly more or less prone to strange antics than our ancestors were. It's just that today, when people do strange things, the Internet tends to ensure that lots of people know about it, and they'll know about it quite soon. And this is a point that a lot of people both don't understand and seriously need to – correlation does not necessarily imply causation. And the correlation could simply be increased awareness of something that was always there, but that we didn't recognize or notice in the past. (Like the increasing incidence of autism – it may very well be that autism isn't becoming more common, but that doctors are more capable of accurately diagnosing it.) Anyways, I took it upon myself to back up iotacom's point with an example of pre-Internet large-scale silliness:

Yep, people have always been a little crazy. The Dutch going gaga over tulips comes to mind… yes, they seriously once crashed their economy over tulips.

On to a different comment series… on a less nuanced note, we have, well, it's a big comment series, so I went and made an image of the grand commentary on the immortality of memes:

Featured users: A-Train (OP), Huck Finn, Squilzore, Conman the Terrible, Nuts and Dolts, Luigifan (yours truly)

(I chimed in at the end because I love Paranoid Parrot, and Squilzore did ask about it.)

Aaaand this is where I have to stop for now. Be back with more great comments later!

The entire comments section for the dismissal of James Comey is a total goldmine right now. But my favorite comment has to be this one by ZanardBell:

COMEY COMEY COMEY CHAMELEON
YOU COME AND GO

On the page for the #Resist movement, Cardin Winchester said this:

“Well we can always just kill them right?”

Someone whispers next to me

“Oh yeah? Huh so your saying that because we are a democratic republic type of governmental system, I cant just unload my gun into a bunch of commies?”

Whispers continue

“Ah! Because we aren’t a dictatorship, communist nation, or ruled by fascists we abide by rules set forth by our Constitution and the laws that govern the land. So what about those people who threaten to kill us?”

an angry whisper echos

Alright so in the event that your life is in danger, you can kill the ones who are attacking you-

Whisper

“Only in the states that have stand your ground laws?”

Whisper

“And even then these assholes will try to frame you as a racist who killed an innocent person? Why cant we just kill them all again?”

Agitated whisper

“Right… right because we are civilized. What about burning them alive?”

hand hitting face sound

Yes, that's right, we just had a political boke and tsukommi routine. Why was it downvoted again?

Sorry, I commend you for looking and sharing what you think are the best parts of the comment section but you're the only person bumping this thread and it's nearing spam at this point, and that's agaisnt the rules, locking.
