Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho made history on Sunday when his film Parasite won both the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Foreign Language film. The film has been hailed as satirical genius - a deft and stunning criticism of capitalism. While the irony of the Parasite winning these accolades in a room of insanely wealthy people is entertaining, the memes have been even more thrilling. The director was photographed making his statues kiss after his big wins, and the image very quickly morphed into the evening's best meme. Here are some of our favorites.
The Sims
Remember the good old days? When we weren't glued to our smartphones, Instagramming every meal, or checking in wherever we went? Frankly, neither do we. But people swear that such a time existed. This meme pokes fun at all the near-luddites that are won't shut up about times without technology. We gotta hand it to these people, these takes (which incorporate both art and pop culture) are pretty damn good.
We love The Sims for its total absurdity and the weird sh*t you can make your characters do. Even if you don't play The Sims and have no interest in ever playing, you can definitely find humor in these memes - they'll make you wonder what the eff is going on in this bizarre game...
I need more of these Sims 'dumps' in my life, dude. If only I could've better document/been aware of how outright perverse and seven kinds of crazy this game was, while playing it as a kid. Because I absolutely don't play it as a current self-proclaimed manchild. *laughs in sims*
