It's a Shiba Inu, not a freaking Corgi.

The thread is titled in the form of a question, hinting that people from both sides of the argument were welcome to participate...? It would be, in all fairness, a fairly redundant thread, if only the pro-camp were allowed to post.

I get that but you do seem to have a bee in your bonnet about this particular meme.

much dislike :pac:

and just by me writing 'bee in your bonnet' I have that stupid song in my head!!

The problem is that the longer it goes on, the more unfunny it gets as some people seem to think the humour comes from simply misspelling something as badly as possible, which isn't actually what its about. Which is why the picture above isn't funny, and it isn't doge. The exact same thing happened to Dolan. Gotta keep it simple!

There just seems to be very little variety with the various entris that I've seen.

This seems to be a common problem with a lot memes, to be fair: everyone thinks every single attempt is automatically hilarious and quantity wins out over quality. Consequetly, for every good one, there dozens of "meh" attempts by people who think they just have to create one and it's automatically comic genius.

"Doge the bounty hunter" was one of the few that nearly killed me laughing!

Each to their own, I didn't find them funny at the start and now do but I'm fickle so next week I'll be on something else just as stupid!

I was suggesting before that all internet are very shallow. I like this one because it makes absolutely no sense. I honestly can't describe why I find them funny.

This is the downside of the internet's ability to allow people to publish anything and reach a wider audience - case in point, Justin Bieber - quality suffers.

But the following that memes have was always a bit hipsterish, I always felt. Give me Cyanide and Happiness any day.

I was a hipster before it was uncool. Now I just hipsterize ironically.

It is Hank. I was just referencing Boomhauer. In retrospect, I shouldn't have put Boomhauer in there. Boomhauer. That's a funny word the more you say it.

Boomhauer.

Me too! They usually arrive in 7-10 days.

I normally get them in about a week.
Only available to buy for 48 hours though! Which I think is a great idea!
Price goes up by €2 after 24 hours, at which point it becomes a 'Last Chance' Tee'
