Some people's meme game is UTTER TRASH. As a Doctor of Memeology and Shitposting, I just can't stand back and continue to witness this travesty. I must educate the masses!
Therefore, I am going to give you all a brief-yet-valuable education on the subject. There are several different tiers of memes, ranging from boring Normie shit to the kind of stuff that will get the villagers to chase after you with torches and pitchforks. Descriptions and examples below.
Tier Zero - Normie Bullshit
Most LOLcat memes, dad jokes & bad puns. Nothing more. Can be funny in the right context, but it won't help you get gigs in the Catskills with a Vaudeville troupe. Often used by geek fandoms who think they are being clever. This is rarely the case.
Good for a slight chuckle, I guess... I find myself liking this one. It's clean humor at its best. |
And no, the LOLcat can NOT have a damned cheeseburger. What kind of irresponsible pet owner feeds an innocent animal some form of food that isn't even good for Humans?
In the context of certain conversations, this can be a laugh riot. By itself though, not really all that funny. |
Tier 1 - Edgyboi material
Pretty much the same as Tier Zero, except slightly more in-your-face. May involve naughty language. Still totally acceptable on censorious Sillycon Valley social media platforms like Fascistbook, but may not get the approval of your pastor or great aunt Ida in Des Moines. These are the kinds of memes that Democrats think are hilarious. Something tells me their sense of humor stopped developing at about age 12. Maybe younger...
Ohhhh... So edgy... |
Also can be used to annoy people in certain fandoms. For example...
'Enter Sandman' is a MetallicA song and the photo features PanterA. |
Tier 2 - Starts to get annoyingly/hilariously political...
Includes everything from Tier 0 & 1. Also starts to include politics. Might get you sent to FB jail or censored in some other way. Usually much funnier than Tiers 0 and 1. This is also where you would find most of your fake news parodies.
The gaffs that come out of Beijing Biden's mouth, I swear... |
It's disturbing and sad to see how much these talking heads get off on other people's pain... |
Tier 3 - Now things start getting interesting... and sexy?
Includes everything from Tier 0-2. Now starts including things like drugs, violence and sexuality in its many varied forms. Definitely NOT safe for work. Most likely too much for Normie prudes on shit sites like Facebook. Exercise extreme caution. Or don't. It depends on how much you care about that particular account. If it's troll account, then post away, my dude.
Freakin' hilarious, even to those of us who do NOT partake... |
Also, the meme doesn't actually have to feature actual depictions of sex, drugs or violence to be horrifying to the intended victim. The best ones are the ones that merely suggest something dreadful involving sex, drugs and/or violence and creates horrible images in their minds. For example...
I've used this one before across social media and previous posts of this blog. It's always a big hit. (No pun intended.) |
Flying an A-10 is probably the only thing that could get me to go back to the military... |
Of course, you can still use Tier 3 for social commentary purposes. This one here uses the ol' reversal of expectations trick for its comedic effect. As someone who wants a more traditional family situation, I find this one to be quite appealing...
You know society is FUCKED when a traditional nuclear family is somehow considered unusual... |
Tier 4 - Starting to get truly horrific...
Includes everything from Tier 0-3. Starts to include imagery and ideological concepts from horror movies and/or religion. Can be VERY dangerous to use on Fascistbook, but also damned hilarious for when you want to piss people off for your own amusement.
The one below was great fun to use after the 2016 election...
And since we're referencing the Hell Priest here...
Pinhead memes are some of the most hilariously twisted memes you'll ever find. |
Also, I tend to use Tier 4 for intimidation purposes. Sometimes, some people just like to get uppity and you have to put them in their place. What better way to instill fear than to use monsters from horror movies?
Amazing how much mileage I've gotten out of this simple shitpost meme that I made in 2008... |
Tier 5 - UNLEASH THE HITLER!!!
The only reason these memes should be used is when you want to get permabanned from a site. Or, you just want to troll the shit out of leftist morons who accuse everyone of being a Nazi while they themselves act like a Nazi...
Democrats must have been reading this to their kids for at least 20+ years now... |
You can also use Uncle Adolph and his crew to screw with some of the Left's non-sensical beliefs that defy all logic and any semblance of objective reality...
Dammit Hollyweird, why are you always changing the immutable characteristics of characters in previously established franchises? :P |
Of course, this tier can still be good for some good old fashioned shitposting with the right meme...
British comedy is so underrated... |
Tier 6 - The Nuclear Option
Includes everything from Tier 0-5. The gloves have now come completely off. There are no rules. There are no good audiences for these memes. These are the memes you post when you want to...
- Burn bridges
- Leave no stone on top another
- Murder the men
- Sell the women/children into slavery
- Poison the wells
- Sow salt into the Earth
- Completely forego any further contact with Human Civilization
- Get yourself Perma-banned from whatever website/discussion forum you've decided to alienate.
It can be something EXTREMELY racist... And funny to those who have a sense of humor so dark that the cops will want to shoot at it... Otherwise, be prepared to lose friends. They can also still be used for social/political commentary, if desired.
No caption needed for this one, other than to say Fuck BLM. |
Or, it can be something symbolic that displays your utter disdain for the way some groups decide to behave themselves. For example, the LGBT Mafia calling everyone else a Nazi when they are using the same tactics of violence and propaganda that a Nazi Brownshirt would use...
This ought to trigger a few people that I genuinely wish would slit their wrists... |
Or, you can just use the memes to tell the intended victims the God's honest truth...
The public education system is a failure. |
The God Emperor has spoken. |
And finally, you can just use it to laugh at the intended victims whenever they start getting massively butt-hurt too. The choice is yours...
How can anyone NOT laugh at this one? Just the ridiculousness alone should make you laugh. |
And there you have it, folks. How to uses memes to troll and shitpost like a pro. Now go forth and do that VooDoo that you should now be able to do oh so well.
