For a moment I thought “hold on, who put this guy in charge of memes?”, but then I remembered he made asdf. This guy WAS internet memes for me growing up.
When the guy said ''eats spicy goodness like a boss.'' I recoiled like someone was just run over by a train 3/4 of a meter away from me.
Imagine being a hollywood exec and having to understand post-ironic gigachad memes.
nothing quite as painful as companies in the early 2010s trying to pander to meme people
Okay to be fair the Numa Numa one in Mitchells vs. Machines was deliberately invoking a nostalgic meme because she liked that meme as a kid in the film. And like, I mean same. It had an "embrace the nostalgic cringe vibe" to that whole scene.
The fact that there are yet still untapped depths of how unhinged the Surfshark ads can get just astounds me.
With the Mitchell vs the Machines, it wasn't just that they started singing Numa Numa, it's that it probably WAS 2003 when Katie was singing it with her dad. The culmination of the whole movie is that Katie reached a understanding with her dad and even though he may not be on the same meme level as her, he's still trying.
i think the problem with memes in tv is they have this uncanny valley effect where the person making them has a bachelors degree in photoshop, and all the memes ive made are with like, ms paint
I really hope in the inevitable Ready Player 2 movie they keep the line "he went all Sonic.exe on them" just for the internet's reaction.
I'm glad to see people defending the Mitchells vs the Machines one, it fits with the movie so well and is meant to be a bit cringey, being a throwback for Katie and her dad to bond, even if he's a little bit behind :)
I actually did an interview with the director for Mitchells vs. The Machines and I think the outdated memes were just a side effect of him basing the movie off of his family dynamic. He's genuinely a lovely guy if a bit out of touch lol
Seeing TomSka transition from asdfmovies to "What if SarahZ was a 35 year old guy" is super funny
Those forced memes by SNL physically hurt. I genuinely had to get up and take a walk.

"Deregulate Tapioca" was genuinely funny
On the Mitchells Numa Numa instance, I was recently at a BBQ where there were a number of younger people, like 10, and I heard one of them say "I like turtles", exactly like the kid. That video is 16 years old now, and kids who were born years after it was posted are still quoting it today. I think the way that younger people contextualize and consume older internet media isn't all that well understood.
The f*cking song in Mitchels vs Machines is supposed to be cringe! Earlier in the story we saw that the main character was emberased by the song during the scene in the car. But now she's imbracing her familiy no matter who they are, she dosen't sing it for her enjoyment but to lift the spirit of her father.
Every time a meme dies out, it is reborn one level of satire and irony down. The media just plays memes too straight.
What unnerves me the most about Diaper Hands is that they didn't just use the wrong meme format, but put a lot of elbow grease into incorrectly formatting that wrong format. Look at
The Amazing World of Gumball used memes a lot for their jokes to good effect. I think the key is keeping the jokes quick and snappy so they don't come off as forced
