We'll yeehaw to that to that.
deep fried
This bizarre, dank, and often deep-fried meme leaves us with a lot of questions:
- Why would someone want to 'shop Youtuber/video game commentator Markiplier with Lord Farquaad from Shrek?
- Why the letter E?
- Why did people start to blend this meme with the Zuckerberg trials?
- Finally, WHY is this meme still going since its creation in April?
These questions kind of prove the point the first 'Markiplier E' memes were trying to make. The first examples fall into the Memes Then/Memes Now category. The heavily distorted and arguably hideous 'shops really do make the contrast between current memedom and the Impact memes of yore extra palpable. But that doesn't mean we really "get" these memes at all.
Some things in life should never have a sequel. Dumb and Dumber definitely falls into that category. Sex and the City comes to mind. Most of all, we hope that 2017's earworm "Despacito" never, ever gets a sequel. Memers seem to seriously disagree. Deep-fried mock newscasts have been blowing up the dank memes scene for some time, promising a pt. 2, 3, 4, and so on. If you enjoy the idea of a dystopian "Despacito" saturated future, proceed. These memes are for you.
Memes used to be so simple. The O RLY owl. Chuck Norris. Impact font. Memes today would be unrecognizable to a time traveler from 2010. Between the popularity of surreal, nonsensical memes to grainy deep fried images, internet humor has taken quite a turn - a concept that the memes we've harvested tackle head-on. These examples may not be any better than the memes they are roasting, but they're definitely not wrong.
Low quality and low-brow, deep fried memes are anything but cerebral. The heavily distorted memes tend to make little sense, and are filled with references to hip hop culture, such as Supreme and lean. They're the perfect meme for anyone who appreciates the seriously dank and seriously ironic.
