Monty Python bits were funny!
They are still funny, but they were then too.
But they made their bread with nonsense, though! It was absurdism at it’s finest.
In with the Hedberg, too. Noice.
As an old fart, I like saying some of the brainrot to Gen Alphas that I know so that it makes them cringe hard. Sometimes in context, sometimes out of context depending on my mood.
Semi related, but my mum likes to pretend she doesn’t know what ‘Netflix and chill’ means. She keeps saying it to people. One time I said mum please google that phrase. She said she’s well aware of the meaning and just likes to see people’s reactions.
Real life trolling is much more fun!
You can turn an entire party against you by insisting jaws is a documentary.
Oh no. I feel that. Back when ipods were a thing, I liked to call it my husband’s “tiny radio.” Particularly on planes, with lots of captive listeners.
But I was mainly torturing him.
It’s OK - he does similar shit to me. 30 years and counting…
My friends and I still quote Monty Python to each other. Embrace tradition.
I don’t know if I should be more proud or disgusted that I was able to parse that entire thing.
My favorite piece of text from a few years ago that I was disgusted to be able to parse was “Shrimp cereal Topanga husband is a Me Too milkshake duck.”
Maybe it’s because I’m slipping into a migraine, but I’m going to need that one explained to me.
Danielle Fishel, the actress who played the character Topanga Lawrence on the show Boy Meets World, is married to a comedian named Jensen Karp, who tweeted that he found shrimp tails in his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
After his tweet went viral, writer Melissa Stetten alleged that he was an abuser and stated that other women had reached out to share their own allegations against Karp with her.
Karp being a “milkshake duck” refers to a June 2016 tweet from Aussie cartoonist Ben Ward which read
The whole internet loves Milkshake Duck, a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the duck is racist
It gave a name to the phenomenon of seemingly harmless individuals’ sordid pasts being called out after a brief brush with fame.
On March 24, 2021, Twitter user @BudrykZack tweeted “Shrimp Cereal Topanga Husband is a MeToo milkshake duck”. The accompanying image is taken from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called Darmok and is of the character named Darmok who is a member of the Tamarian species which speaks only in metaphors.
“MeToo” refers to the worldwide Me Too movement, that began in 2017, through which survivors of sexual assault and victims of sexual harrassment - mostly women - have come forward to admit to announce their victim hood in order to bring to light how common such assaults are and to demand an end to rape culture.
Good lord well done 👏
My hovercraft is full of eels.
My nipples explode with delight
Punctuation. Use it.
I’m 37 I’m not old…
It’s just memes broken out by who was under 30 when they became popular.
That parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It is an ex-parrot!
He’s probably pinin’ for the fjords
*its
Monty Python’s Flying Circus
This is a Rosetta stone for meme culture
But the translation is missing so it’s useless
Oh shit waddup!?
Dat Boi is unironically my fave meme.
Unfortunately, Dat Boi was part of the capitol riot on January 6th. smh my head rip in peace.
The only part of this that really bothers me is that nerds are still incessantly quoting Monty Python at each other.
We dine well here in Camelot. We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
People who “make” a lot of memes are the internet equivalent of that really obnoxious kid in middle school in the 90s who couldn’t go a full five minutes without quoting the Simpsons/South Park/SpongeBob.
On a side note, what’s the show(s) that obnoxious middle schoolers quote nowadays? Can’t imagine it’s still those 3
Probably Rick and morty, skibidi toilet and bluey
Haha, I’m Pickle Rick! Please laugh
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
Also, are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
