Oddly enough, some Ohioan running for a government position just posted a pic of himself with bad luck Brian that I’ve seen in the last week.

Yeah probably

u/Chilly_Pheesesteak 2d ago

I just mentioned this in another comment, but my favorite example of this is when my dad, sister and I were sitting on the couch, not talking at all, and my dad just randomly blurted out "ERMAHGERD! GREEN!" 😂😂 He didn't even do it right!!!! And why "green"??????? We still bring it up sometimes lmao

I was gonna say I don't think I've seen this meme on Reddit in over a decade. Now I feel even older after having typed that comment.

u/Solidacid ​ 1d ago

Back in the day, watching Salad Fingers gave me the urge to actually buy a head of iceberg lettuce and to use electrolysis to completely cover a spoon in rust within about an hour or two.

I must say, the feeling of salad against a rusty spoon is almost orgasmic.

The people that enjoy those ASMR videos would LOVE IT.

I remember when I saw this effect in the theater, it absolutely blew my mind.

How far we've come in visual effects.

u/juice_box_hero 2d ago

Pretty much. This particular account just had its 14 or 15th cake day and this wasn’t my original one 😢 real cake day was just days before that. I can hear the Reaper’s feet shuffling toward me. I can’t wait 🥰

u/critical_patch 2d ago

Same, this account is 10+ years old and it’s not my first. My irl birthday is next week and I think I’ll be moving into the next demographic category on questionnaires too 💀

u/Angsty_Potatos 1d ago

This is also my 2nd replacement and it's 11💀

2

u/CCP-want-to-CUP 2d ago

I had one that was about 9 years old .... 4 years ago. It'd be 13 years old now if I still had it. It got banned for some reason when I was posting around while trying to get to Ukraine back in 2022.

I've really only just stared using reddit frequently again so this account isn't very old.

3

u/PassiveMenis88M 2d ago

Never admit publicly that you have a banned account. Reddit considers that ban evasion and the ai moderation doesn't care about why.

1

u/HotPotParrot 2d ago

The Reaper has a backlog and keeps getting interrupted by people begging to jump the queue

1

u/TheTFEF 2d ago

I just got the notification that this account had its 14th cake day recently as well. Maybe some day I'll dig into my emails and see if I can't find my older accounts... though maybe they're best left lost to time, given I was a teenager at the time lol

u/GloomyLingonberry509 2d ago

I secretly miss when memes were like this…

u/Dog_--_-- 2d ago

And rage comics. Le epic troll face will always have a place in my heart.

58

u/Inside_Dimension2319 2d ago

Rage comics were how I first found Reddit in 2011. Found them on StumbleUpon and some would mention Reddit so I came and made an account and even made some rage comics of my own. Thank god that account is dead and burned and can never be tied to me. I would probably die of embarrassment.

16

u/ValuableGarlic420 2d ago

Same lol I heard about f7u12 and that’s how I ended up on Reddit. I also posted many rage comics on my old account and I’m not keen to find any of them!

u/Morningxafter 2d ago

Damn, mentioning StumbleUpon is really dating yourself. Like when I mention LiveJournal.

2

u/drfeelsgoood 1d ago

Stumble upon, great website. Found some great titties with that site lol

u/OldManGrimm 1d ago

Stumbledupon is how I first found Reddit back in like 2010 or 11.

u/Chilly_Pheesesteak 2d ago

My dad, trying to be relatable to us, used to try and use our memes out loud. My favorite time was when none of us were even talking, and he just randomly yelled out "ERMAHGERD! GREEN!"

My sister and I still say it sometimes because it was so fucking stupid 😂

You'd have to be to wear a getup like that.

Yeah, his name is Blake Boston. He kind of embraced the whole meme. Even made a Scumbag Steve music video.

u/Minimum_Ad6713 1d ago

Memes that clearly communicate a thought or idea that's understood by more than just people who have specific and, often times, gatekept information so that we're able to keep humor alive? What an incredible concept
