oh ugandan knuckles, the flame burn twice as bright last half as long
the chronic hacking didnt help either
like a solid week of history that will be taught in meme history for generations
vrchat was popular for less than 6 months
the original knuckles drawing in that style was done by Gregzilla, for a joke.
Gregzilla then did a video where he made that drawing sing "I don't want to set the world on fire"
Then a friend of mine, Framerater, co-opted the drawing with permission and made a short series of singing videos
Then someone entirely unrelated made a 3d-model of it for VR chat
And somehow suddenly people started using it to reference Who Killed Captain Alex
And the suddenly
DO U KNOW DE WEY
The first three lines of that took 6 months
the last two lines were like, two weeks
?? ?? ? ??? ? ?
Taking all of that apart then
imagine reverse-enineering that meme
who is knuckles? why was that short clip of him saying "oh no" funny in that context and video?
Why was making him sing humerous
Why did framerater make more?
why did someone make a model?
If meme historian become an actual thing then all my years on 4chan would not be for nothing
Why use Who Killed Captain Alex?
What is Who Killed Captain Alex?
Why is it funny?
And that's just one meme
imagine analysing "**E**" in a few decades
Meme is the folklore of the Internet Age
markiplier face (insert who is mark)
on a farquaad head (insert lecture on shrek memes)
on a zuckerberg body (isnert why zuckerberg was memes)
deep-fried (lecture on deep-fried memes)
with the letter E (why???)
that's like five lectures
for one fucking picture
*dear god, save the future generations*
*IMAGINE BREAKING THIS ONE DOWN*

okay
you can do 2000-2010 memes easy
funny videos, catchy songs, silly captains
but it's become so compounded and complicated and out of control in the last few years
I think we're about to hit a cliff and fly off it, wile e coyote style
and wrap back to simple again
2000-2010 meme history will be high school courses, 2010's memes will be an advanced college course
imagine explaining r/surrealmemes
