Everyone’s joking about the ‘old-fashioned’ ways they got into college

TwitterFacebook

Everyone has a different experience applying to colleges.

Some take the traditional route by working hard in high school, studying for standardized tests, and writing a thoughtful essay, while others leave their educational fate in the hands of their parents. 

After news of a college admissions scandal broke on Tuesday, many people were compelled to reminisce about the “old-fashioned ways” they got into college.

The scandal involved dozens of parents — including actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Louglin, who reportedly shelled out a lot of money to ensure their students were accepted to colleges. But that’s not how people got into college in the good old days. Read more…

The ‘iconic line’ meme recognizes the best lines in TV and movies

TwitterFacebook

What’s the most iconic line of pop culture?

The “straight line/dashed line” meme started last December, just before the new year. It called out people who post too much on their Instagram stories, but has since taken on a variety of forms. 

Straight line:
______________________________________

Dashed line:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

Is anyone out there curious if Elon Musk lifts? Extremely unclear, but the tech leader is talking about it on Twitter anyway.

On Wednesday, Musk tweeted a disturbing collage of photographs that show his face Photoshopped onto The Rock’s very fit body. He captioned the cursed images, “Yeah, I lift a little …”

Ellen DeGeneres’ on-air surprises are iconic. 

From bringing Missy Elliot onto her show to sing with her “funky white sister” to introducing kids to Barack Obama, Ellen has a habit of bringing people their heroes — but it takes a dark turn with the “Me on Ellen” memes.

Twitter users imagine themselves as guests on Ellen, where the talk show hosts surprises them with exactly what they want, no matter how gruesome it might be. In one of the first versions of the meme, Ellen brought death itself on to meet Twitter user @cavedevice.  Read more…

The ‘Thanks, I hate it’ meme has found its spiritual home

TwitterFacebook

Some memes are born to die. Others, like the “Thanks, I hate it” meme, can live eternally.

“Thanks, I hate it” — unlike many memes which fade as quickly as they appear — has real life force and patrons supporting its art. And thankfully there’s a whole new subreddit, r/TIHI (Thanks, I hate it), dedicated to keeping this meme alive. 

At its core, “Thanks, I hate it” is a meme that celebrates what I like to call “Internet Gothic.” Similar to Southern Gothic, Internet Gothic is composed of the grotesque: hellish images, perverse Photoshops, photos suggestive of late capitalism, disturbing GIFs, shitposts, nihilist memes, and all the dumb shit we try and forget we saw on the internet.
