Why Shrek?

[ThatSmasherYouKnow]

Why, out of all the fictional characters to make weird, why Shrek? I understand that his movie has subtle adult jokes, but that should not be enough to justify the abuse he is receiving.

Shrek is love. Shrek is life.

 

[Pachinkosam]

shrek 2 is tha best.

I guess it's because the Internet is just the perfect place for people to get away with saying really pointless and silly things they do not mean or think without repercussions for their actions.

That doesn't sound like the Internet at all.

[MOI-ARI]

Because Shrek is Drek.

 

[Reila]

I mean, the Shrek moves were pretty good. At least the first two.

Hmmm well lemme try to answer your question about my litttleee shrek~! Internet people try their best to make cartoons as weird as they can or some mumbo jumbo like that. Shrek is a big green ogre with powerful ogrehands. Perfect candidate if I do say so myself. Oh and somebody wrote the shrek is love fanfic which basically sparked it allllllllll.

Despite the amount of dull imitators it spawned, Shrek was genuinely groundbreaking in 2001, so a lot of people have much fonder memories of it than most other CGI films in the new millennium (most of which are, you guessed it, the aforementioned dull imitators). In addition, the amount and scale of aggressive marketing it had at the time rivaled that of Minions, so it pretty much has a permanent spot in our generation's memory.

Yeah, I know. I'm saying that the place it has in our childhoods is probably a big factor in its becoming a meme.

Yeahhhh, have you had any shrek branded foods back then? I know there were tons of it, but all I got to have is the snicker bar. XP

The internet meme of "Shrek is love, Shrek is life" was a spawn of many produced by 4chan so it was bound to catch on in time.

Internet meme aside, Shrek is among the more memorable CGi animated films next to Pixar's Toy Story and is recognizable by a large amount of people who were children in the late '90s to early '00s. The films are notable for their parody of fairy tale tropes and pop-culture references that are still relevant today.

THAT doesn't sound like YOU at all

 

[Plunder]

People are finally now realizing that Shrek is better than Mario and Toy Story.....COMBINED.

The love for Shrek had been compounding with interest as it lay dormant, 4chan opened Pandora's box and shone the light on the inevitable.

I blame "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life". It's gotten to the point where I question if any of Shrek's fans love him for the actual movies or just because of the memes... All I'm hoping is that whoever wrote that "story" wasn't talking about themselves...

And I also hope those fans realize by now that those votes for Shrek in the Smash Ballot are inevitably going into the Recycle Bin to be permanently deleted later.

I think the memes are funny, and I also like shrek. If the shrek is love story really was describing the author, then that would be weird lol.

I guess so, and I really like Shrek 2! I never actually read the fanfic itself, but my brothers watched the "Youtubers React to Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life" video (I think that's the name). The footage was disturbing...

 

[Teran]

It's just a **** meme dude.
