I like how wary the pony in the condo is like he's looking at some suspicious youths getting dangerously close to his lawn. posted by The Whelk at 12:06 PM on February 15, 2010 [2 favorites]
Your argument appears valid, but commits the Red-herring fallacy, and is invalid. posted by hellojed at 12:06 PM on February 15, 2010
Everybody knows memes is just a red herring. posted by The Whelk at 12:06 PM on February 15, 2010
Christ, what old 4chan piece of detritus will appear next? A blog about shopping green/red eyes onto things and writing "Desu?" over top? posted by cimbrog at 12:14 PM on February 15, 2010

Cue Voiceover:
We've secretly replaced zarq's beloved MetaFilter with an idiotic 4Chan meme. Let's watch, and see if he notices.
You don't know what it's like. I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line, and I'm not invalid! You're invalid! The whole freakin' system is invalid! You want the Truth?

Oh, you know, I'd love to say, "Snarf snark hurf durf I this this is lame-tacular and you're dumb for liking these," but I can't. I know I'm old and this is supposed to be pseudo-hip and irono-funny, but stupid pictures with dorky captions make me laugh. Just like New Yorker cartoons.
This website is using the Chewbacca Defense as its sole reason for existence.

I think a lot of these pictures would be a lot funnier without the text. The single connecting caption doesn't even make that much sense (and not in a way that's absurdly funny). I bet this dude I work with is going to be all over this website in like a month though, if his adoption of the roomba cat is any indication. posted by codacorolla at 1:30 PM on February 15, 2010

You cannot spell your own catchphrase. Your argument is invalid.
We must be. You've managed to reference two of them in just those last two words. :) posted by Malor at 2:03 PM on February 15, 2010

Wait, are you telling me all picture memes are made by the same people? Holy shit, where do I give them money? posted by flatluigi at 2:16 PM on February 15, 2010

I know that sites like this and ICHC are bad for me, like potato chips, but once I open the bag... I think that I knew I was in trouble when I saw that this one used the same picture as this demotivator. posted by Halloween Jack at 2:33 PM on February 15, 2010

I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Unfortunately, that horse has a condo. posted by moonmilk at 2:36 PM on February 15, 2010 [11 favorites]
I didn't know that this was a meme. I'd only seen the one with the cat and the watermelon. I assume this guy has that one. It's really the only one you need. posted by Stylus Happenstance at 2:49 PM on February 15, 2010

This attempt at a book-deal is boring. posted by modernnomad at 5:03 PM on February 15, 2010
Don't want to rush in here in defence, though the half-hearted amusement the[first few of the]se raised was undeniably amusement all the same.
However, the misspellings are from user submissions and the site's owner can't be held responsible. On the other hand, he (because let's face it, what are the bets that it's a he?) did choose the stupid, screen-filling banner and the picture of the dick in the baseball cap. posted by lapsangsouchong at 5:44 PM on February 15, 2010
It's sad when a fun thing from my you're-only-young-once-but-you-can-always-be-immature internet drifts over accidentally into my yeah-but-who-can-take-you-seriously-when-you-don't-even-know-the-correct-usage-of-the-phrase-begs-the-question internet and is promptly disemboweled.
I mean, as long as I don't do it too close to MeFi's lawn, I can still be immature, right? posted by Xezlec at 8:57 PM on February 15, 2010 [2 favorites]
