It’s lazy comedy. Comedy takes work. Being funny takes intelligence and planning. You can’t just reference something and get people calling you hilarious. You need to do more than quote something in a slightly modified picture.
You haven't seen this yet have you?

Lazy comedy can be funny, but it can also get cliché and predictable. One of the elements of a good joke is the surprise. If you keep hearing variations of the exact same joke, there's nothing surprising.

Smashboards now officially bans users from making jokes unless their post:like ratio is 1:5. Sorry y'all. You just weren't funny enough.

I wanna sit Snake down and just have her prattle on about how she views the world. Like Karl Pilkington.

Been continuing my current playthrough of Pokemon Moon, my current team includes Datrix, Araquanid, & an Ampharos which I traded over from my copy of Pokemon Silver when it was a Flaafy.

Where did this talk of comedy & memes come from?

I don’t exactly know what that means, and I am a little offended....

But what the heck, I got nothing else to do, I’m down for an interview.
The Ricky Gervais show was actually about his friend Karl, a weird man with the funniest things to say. They would just sit him down, ask him questions, and listen to him ramble on and on about strange opinions. It’s one of my favorite things.

The original comic took effort to come up with and make. Everything else was low effort memes.
But the only reason Bowsette would have been in a position for you to think they're worthy of Nintendo's acknowledgement in the first place is because of memes. The comic alone didn't propel her.

While memes certainty aren't hilarious in any sort of way. They are still comedic.

They're a quick and easy way to make someone chuckle or brighten them up. You shouldn't have to spend a while planning to make a quick laugh.
They certainly aren't qualified for being used to make money, but they serve they're purpose of being a quick and easy laugh.



I think I was onto something, so hopefully I made some sense.

Ya know, it be a shame if we talked about memes and didn't reference this gem of a video.

Didn't SnakeFighter64 SnakeFighter64 say she hated Nintendo?(or something similar) So, literally the only reason she would like Bowsette is because it's FUNNY. Never mind the fact that almost all memes can be funny(but not all are)
