There is an internal deal between the mods, bronies and pony haters.
You've got your thread to post all that silly stuff, but any post outside will be mercifully deleted if it isn't adding anything to the thread. The deal also contains the part about deleting the whole pony topic altogether, shall bronies forget their place... so delete your post.
does it count for my (3h work) purple urby of doom too?
*sniff*

Spider looks great, though. Fast, maneuverable, and a 240m jump will make it a great scout. But, it's no Urbie...

ok, im gonna be the dick of the thread and say that 90% of these are not really memes. a meme is intended to connect somebody to something that, in context, is inherently understandable and able to be related to. such as the picture of frye from futurama, and text that say "cant tell if fat because in wheel chair, or in wheel chair because fat" its funny because everyone can relate to having had that same thought.
the closest of any of these to a meme is the "nominal all the systems" one which is still not a true meme.
memes by definition do not contain any wording or imagery that requires knowledge of a specific scenario. in the frye example, there is nothing about the image or text that has anything to do with futurama, so, if one was living under a rock, and simply saw the image having never seen futurama, the image is still funny.
the humor of a meme comes from the humanity of it.
This is called a "Macro" because it summs up the human condition or some aspect of it in extreme brevity. The term Macro which games might know actually draws its source from the psychological condition which creates this. Your brain constantly creates macros, and macros are why standup comedians are funny when they are. the simple mention of (back to the frye example) not being able to differentiate the reason for somebody within sight range being in a wheel chair brings to the mind of the reader/viewer any number of things, such as perhaps an instance when they themselves had that problem.
which brings me back to the fact that memes are by default funny to a wide number of people (even gamer specific memes should have SOME redeeming value to onlookers of only modest gaming knowledge)
so im gonna go out on a limb here and say most of these are fail...
still, good try everyone!
(not being sarcastic)
I dont write memes because i am legitimately not a very funny person with that kind of thing. so even the relative failings of those who submitted theirs beats mine.
F.....r.....y
just so you know
