Why did this one take so long to develop? It started with a Vine 3 years ago, gradually a few other examples between then and now, and only really became a "meme" recently according to the Google Trends graph. This is the kind of fad-of-the-week meme that should have exploded when it started and then disappeared, but it looks like it took everyone a year to come up with their own bad stereotype joke.
Could it be? an even shitter vine than Shower Time Diesel Jeans…. who am I kidding nothing will ever be as shit as that vine meme

UMADBRO?
I like to bathe in PEPSI after a shower.
Before you know it, this will be combined with Spongebob Comparison Charts…then a whole new meme will be born of it.
Can someone actually make one?
Look, a meme created based on one simple joke that overuses the same punchline as the original to the point of not being as funny.
So, like most memes, pretty much.
tmw you think this one is pretty funny and everyone in the comments hates it
I know right? Needs some more variations though.
How do Floridians shower? Same as you dummy! But with orange juice instead of water.
I was thinkin' "bath-salts."
That's not for showering, dummy

How do muslims shower? Same as you, infidel. First we get nice and wet, then we ALLAHU AKBAR! BOOOM!

I feel like this one has a lot of potential before it dies out.
A wet Don IS controversial!
How do southerners shower? We don't….

How do Bosnian Serbs shower? Same as you retarded faggot! We get nice and wet, then we grab the Zastava M70 & the accordion & then we Уклонити кебаб
Why are people hating on this for being like most other memes?
Some of these are hilarious!
This is far less cringey than other memes of this type. We must discover what makes this different, if we do it may give us the power to nullify such memes in the future!
It would be one of memeology's greatest achievements, and if anyone can do it, it's the spicy memesters here at KYM. Godspeed.
One possible influence is that it's people accepting and joking about stereotypes about themselves. No concerns about racism or anything, just joking around, making yourself the butt of the joke.
The second reason is that a few of them touch on truths about their culture, even if they aren't related to showers. Americans really do love their guns.
Also, many of them are cliffhangers of sorts. Going back to the gun, what the heck is he gonna do with it? Rub himself down? Shoot a terrorist? I think the ones that are nonsensical are the most funny, myself.
Ahh one more thing. It also points out how unaware we can be about other cultures. "Just like you, idiot" is true for many people, because a lot of us don't quite get cultural differences, instead assuming that everyone is more or less the same.
This is one of the few memes I've seen bring so many people together from so many differing nations.
It's funny, but it needs more pictures.
How do Swedish people shower? The same as you, idiot! First we get nice and wet, then we get the immigrants.
Alternate version: Then we get the metals.

I found the first few funny, but there isn't much room for creativity/variation with this one.as the punchline is essentially the same every time.
Is funny how straight people didn't notice that this a gay fetish, so keep uploading more fap content for me.
