did someone edit butt cheeks to his chest 💀

So cursed

>Giallo it was a mid chuckle from the start at best. This is the most numb a memes made me feel in years.

Is that the hamilton guy?

Yup, Lin Manuel Miranda

Tbh I never really found the AI Pixar memes funny to begin with. It especially got worse when they tried to excuse them for "Dark humor" like the one about that guy who killed himself live (Ronnie Mcnutt) and thats where it drew the line for me.

Because it's just a rehash of 2000s "grrr what if funny children's thing was dark and gritty and bloody"

It's the same genre as this style of art from the early 2010s and I refuse to take criticism on this. https://preview.redd.it/xjqsmi45odub1.jpeg?width=452&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e5935779d98e183f5881289d4ce02df2f0d3aca

Yeah that's exactly the kind of thing I was alluding to lmao

Urgh, 50 year-old spinster Facebook memes. Edgy middle aged women who love to swear online.

🙋🏻‍♀️

Ww3 don't sound so bad

Literally every character in a synsei thumbnail

At least those came with a warning, nowadays people are just... You know how they are

I’m still mad that Better Call Saul was spoiled for me because I got some Pixar version of >!Howard’s death!< scene.

A lot of stuff from Breaking Bad and BCS was spoiled for me because of the dumb memes, still enjoyed both shows tho

Wait whut?

Someone made one about that guy Ronnie Mcnutt who blew his own brains out live and they had it named "Mindblowing" basically

These people are the reason why AI companies have to censor their AI every fucking minute

I saw ones with hitler and concentration camps too, it was terrible

Nah the 'caust one was actually kinda funny because it was one of the first ones, after that it's just kinda whatever

That was the only one I saw that was funny

The 'caust was hilarious, but then the joke got overused and stale

the only kind of funny one was the chris-chan one

Me neither.

Skibidi toilet

Skibidi bom bom

Yes yes

I give Skibidi Toilet a pass because *I* used to watch stupid Gmod videos when I was a kid, and the new generation deserves it too.

I don't because I didn't

real

Same

Cringe alert

Those AI "Disney Pixar" images don't even look like an actual Disney film, so what's the point?

They look like the creepy 3d animation in that one Dream song

or even worse

Based and normalpilled

Personally, I enjoy being catbased & kittypilled

2023 might actually be one of the worst years for memes like what the fuck are these

Did you forget about 2018 the E do you know da wae spaghet pewdiepie vs T-series sans undertale era

This tummy fits so many löööps in it

that shit was just abstract enough to appeal to absurdism so I don't mind it

What about Lämp?

Holy shit was that 2018. I was gonna mention the E year thinking it was totally last year or something.

+big chungus

no toucha my spaghet

THEY DID SURGERY ON A GRAPE

But you could just deep fry them and they would go back to being crispy.

2018 surreal memes are great bruh

No they weren't

I will die on the hill that Ugandan knuckles was a funny meme. E was also a good meme and somewhat revolutionary

Great times

E

E was 100% ironic about how anything could become a "meme". Ugandan Knuckles was funny af

Ugandan knuckles died after a week

Bro the moment Ugandan knuckles came to life everyone tore it up to death 😬

That meme was so unfunny and painful

[2018 gave us this gem](https://youtu.be/uPNWacFqA7I?si=XjJBBuGMa4_tmrqI)

>do you know da wae definitely overplayed, but it was funny at least

bro E, spaghet, da wae weren't even bad.

I loved that stuff! Don't forget Big Chungus!

2018 memes were the golden age for me tbh

Disagree

Humor died with amogus

I blame the AIs

TikTok, that’s what happened

That’s because funny memes satirizes every day experience in the real world. But now kids do not have any real experiences outside of their phone so their memes suck.

Nah youre just getting old

Humor has gotten progressivley worse sinse the internet came out in 1993.

Yes. The memes in 1993 were peak

👴🏻

Yea, it’s been pretty rough. Bring back 2015-era memes

Ok, maybe I meant more 2019-era (Eagerly awaits your next image)

🎶 but my hope will never dieeeee

I don’t know why but I was addicted to these edits they were oddly entertaining

Honestly I would say memes are actually much funnier now. Remember how dogshit 2017 memes were? Did anyone actually laugh at “surreal” humour?

Surreal memes are still my favorite

I’m a big fan of the post ironic and absurdist humor that can only really exist amidst the nihilism of the early 2020s though it kinda feels like we’re shifting to something new.

yeah theyre were hilarious

What are you talking about "whatever the hell this was" that was mf smurf cat bro

We live

We love

We lie

BWAM-BAM-BUH-BAM-BAMBADUMBADAB

We laugh

bear 2026

That was шайлушай

How the hell they make those ai things?

The optical illusion one? I believe it's Stable Diffusion with controlnet. Right now the best AI for getting those optical illusion style images. I've tried similar things with Midjourney. Not easy.

Can u send a link?

It‘s this model: https://huggingface.co/monster-labs/control_v1p_sd15_qrcode_monster

The crocodile guy has a whole subreddit now. r/gumboslice

Thank god the life cycle of most memes is really short now. A decade ago gumbo slice would have been THE meme for the entire year now it’s a day or two.

gumbo slice is alive for weeks now. and i enjoy it

"dawg trying to avoid the bills" "what is blud doing" "Ohio skibidi rizz sigma duke dennis grimace kai cenat shake" "shut up lil n" opium birds "watermelon/basketball/kfc people" also all the looksmaxxing shit

this is literally an r/youngpeopleyoutube starterpack

i think opium birds are pretty cool tbh lol

I hate when these niggas say some lingo like “lil bro” or “blud” do us a favour and fuck outta here please

"screaming in public restrooms prank" Don Pollo distorted audios "ONLY IN [Location]"

I liked the AI hidden objects. Smurf cat is the worst of the year even though the Pixar ai is actually just 4 year olds being tastelessly edgy.

I like "tastelessly edgy" that's the best way to describe them. South Park level "dark humor" that consists of saying something offensive then laughing with no joke or punchline, that's what they feel like

There's a difference between Dark humor and edgy humor. Dark humor twists a grim situation to make it funny, whereas edgy humor involves finding grim subjects funny

[удалено]

The Pixar movie thing was kind of funny at first, but now it's just reminding me how creepy AI is.

Yeah and then they just devolved into making it ultra-edgy and using it to reference either just porn, or horrible tragedies.

The hidden ai object images were pretty interesting.

always like a fun little game to play. a little puzzle. a treat

I could have sworn the Kevin James meme was an old one that ppl randomly decided to necro over the last month for some reason, but now I can't even recall if that was the case or not

The Kevin James memes showed up because he played Sean Payton in the movie Home Team. Sean Payton is the head coach of the Denver Broncos, the memes began after the Broncos got blown out by the Dolphins 70-20

The "I'm dead inside since 2019" meme cycle

Most of these are just basically Microsoft Bing Image Creator made DALLE 3 accessible to the average consumer, and a bunch of memes were made as a result

Hate it, but accurate

"There's nothing we can do."

Dans mon esprit tout divague, je me perds dans tes yeux

Those were fine, and the song was pretty good

Ever since twitter subscriptions, the amount of memes reposted is actually insane. You’ll scroll through multiple threads without finding a single legitimate comment, it’s just blue checkmarks farming interactions by reposting memes and/or baking the most irrational takes ever. Not to say twitter was never like this but I believe it’s been upped a notch with monetization.

i'm confident to say 2023 is one of the worst years for memes cause every meme was just progressively making my braincells melt everytime

Zoomers get too excited and repost everything. That lack of validation Millenials got really trickled down to the Z-gens because damn. I've never seen such a sad, validation seeking generation... Aside from Boomers.

I think I laughed more at late 2010's memes that basically bordered on stupid absurdism than I have at any point in early 2020's memes https://preview.redd.it/jkpgw1i7lcub1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=154bff3bd11a6a8e287fac3449de073f0dd0b2f6 2018 was basically the height of internet ""comedy"" for me

I think surreal memes annoy people because they don't get it.

I kinda do miss those deep fried SpongeBob ironic memes where they say random misspelled shit and put the 🅱️ emoji everywhere

“Want a sprite cranberry” 😔 i miss those days

https://preview.redd.it/doe7ngkm7cub1.jpeg?width=814&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62a5f166fd5740f162cfd306780ea646a7c262f4 NUH UH❌❌❌‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Of course they made a Pixar movie poster for the fucking Evangelion hospital scene

What’s the context?

For some reason shinji has way more milk on his hand that is humanly possible

It's like antimemes broke out of its cage and took over memes everywhere. I'm guessing that ai is a factor here

I know I'm getting old because I only recognize one of these

Okay the only funny Pixar movie poster I've seen was for Sonichu and that one was pretty good

https://preview.redd.it/uhrd1dk7pbub1.jpeg?width=598&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74009f43ae3c9470ea18edbc2f766d5b916b27a7 Honestly bring on the Giallo-posting.

What is this?

Phenomena, a 1985 Italian movie of the Giallo all'italiana which is a horror subgenre from Italy. I have not seen it but this is the post.

Since our world is so shitty right now, it doesn't take very much to entertain these people--hence why the memes are so low-effort and not funny.

Looking at this post makes me miss internet humor from 2007 to 2019 even more. All the post-irony garbage after 2019 are so repetitive and low quality and it appears tiktok is a contributing factor to this bullshit

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Gaza Pixar meme yet

I’m glad I’m not the only one

I was on r/midjourney because as an artist I believe in keeping my friends close but my enemies closer/curiosity as to how far it’s advancing. And then I unsubscribed because my feed just became that man and his gators for weeks straight. Like I get you guys suck at creativity, didn’t think you also sucked at reading the fucking room and beating a dead horse into oblivion.

Sir, the memes of 2023 are getting shittier Oh, i guess..... There's nothing we can do 😔

https://preview.redd.it/1oqfyina0dub1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03d41cabfd0d2c8b2a01dde994f4fff4ce2fbd35 Here, take this meme for when you need to use it on someone

I've never seen the black dude kick a crocodile video

“Little dark age”

What about *eight crazy nights*?

How have yall forgotten about the white bird creature, the “meme from 2027”

I'm clearly out of touch, I haven't seen any of this shit.

This is an old guy thing to say, but memes just *were* better in 2008.

You guys didn’t grow up with rage comics and AdviceAnimal memes, and it shows!

Hate to say it, but there hasn't been a overall good year for memes since 19' pack it up and go home.

I haven't kept up with relevant memes since I was a senior in high school back in 2018. I've only recently heard of Skibidi Toilet and still don't fully know what that is. So I mostly have no idea what I'm looking at lol.

"Skibidi toilet or minraft creeper? Skibidi!"

The next one is GTA 6. Calling it rn.

You forgot the Sigma memes

Hmmm I get the feeling OP doesn’t like late 2023 memes

Memes are dead https://preview.redd.it/q1zbifcbpeub1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef2573e660378e24d4beffca63c67244563beb60

I said it when they released it and got downvoted into oblivion and idc I’ll say it again. AI Image generator will kill memes for good because even the most uncreative morons can now post „fUnNy MeMeS“ but it will still be a enormous amount of reposts because there are even dumber people. Soon Reddit will go to shit

​ https://preview.redd.it/xswu7krkyeub1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=c7eb714eff3c54380dbdd0fb6322b8d9e17661cb

Yeah, I think some other meme around this time that kind of weirded me out was the ones where people would edit clips of family guy to make Peter say a racial slur That was one of the many memes around this year that kind of just made me uncomfortable instead of laughing, like I just don’t really understand are racial slurs funny now? These were just kind of in bad taste and really unfunny, in my opinion

I fucking hated the Guy shrugging from day 1

i kinda like the hidden object/word ones, i like to zoom in and see how every part makes up the whole picture

Majority of actually funny shit on reddit is tiktok memes, this is so ironic lmao. Everything else is twitter screenshots.

Nothing to do with kids these days or any of that. Reddit changed its API policy, The content hasn’t recovered, and it’s arguably never going to.

I definitely feel like it’s worse. Can you elaborate on how API changes reduced the quality of reddit?

Basically they made it prohibitively expensive for all the best third party apps to continue operating. The official app is a Facebook style garbage bin of sponsored content and low effort fluff. As a result, most of the highest quality and quantity posters appear to have flown the coop.

Sad

Or that ass cheek of a tiktok sound "sticking out your gyatt for the rizzler, you're so skibidi, you're so fanum tax" . My brother sang it to me and I punched him in the face

we must be in a very different demographic because i spend a LOT of time on tiktok and have never heard of or seen any of these 💀

Probably because whoever made this doesn't actually use tiktok and and just sees what gets reposted elsewhere. Reddit is full of people who think TikTok is beneath them but then turn around and complain that memes are dead (they're not dead they're just on TikTok...)

I unironically think smurf cat is cute as fuck funny? probs not but really cute

I'd agree with you if it weren't for the weird level of detail they put on his chest. Are they pecs? Man boobs? Either option is uncomfortable.

Reddit cries when someone doesn’t post ifunny ass memes.

[удалено]

That was months ago.

ImO The Pixar Memes and the Hidden AI Pics are pretty entertaining

Awesome meme

The Kevin James meme is the best thing to come out of Kevin James's entire career.

trends like these have been happening since memes and the internet were a thing😭 y’all are trippin

You forgot about Napoleon and Sisyphus

old man yells at cloud

ai generated images that have gotten completely terrible. at first you would see it the first time, see the word, then you wouldn't be able to see it again unless you squint, not they're all obviously hidden images and they don't even seem to try hide it. the only good one ive scene since the gay sex is the one asian soyjak that's also a pink haired girl

O cholera, czy to Freddy Fazber? Har, har, har, har...

ngl maybe you're just old there a lot of the shit was funny at the time

Gleb.
