    I for one do not miss the jokes deifying the second rate martial artist/fifth rate actor/first rate bigoted fundie at all.

    They got old somewhere around the second or third one and then people kept doing it for like a fucking DECADE if not longer!

      Originally the Norris jokes were ironic, because he played “badass” roles in a bunch of shitty movies.

      Of course that went the way every single ironic joke goes.

      They were a derivation of very similar Vin Diesel facts, though the Vin Diesel facts depicted him as badass without deifying him. I liked those better in many ways.

      I’m waiting for the “Change my mind” meme format to die because I’m tired of seeing Crowder’s stupid, racist face.

      There was one that I saw, IRL and really wish I had gotten a picture of. It was a Jeep Grand Cherokee that had a dent in the side that looked like it got slammed into a telephone pole, and pushed in the rear passenger door and window. The owner had painted on the side of it, “CN was here.”

      That one made me chuckle.

      I did enjoy when TBS bought Walker Texas Ranger, which allowed Conan to have a Chuck Norris lever that played a random out of context clip every time he pulled it.
