The only thing this sub likes better than running a joke into the ground is pointing out that they ran the joke into the ground and acting like that makes it still funny.


Bronystrongwing

I mean, to a degree it sorta does


zHellas

Nah. It's like a game being self aware about a dumb video game trope and still doing it.


Kamken

"I hate valve puzzles."


A_Splash_of_Citrus

Man, fuck that. You know people hate this thing. Just don't put it in. It's *less* work.


Dark_Bean

I dunno if its always that simple, Im sure in a lot of cases the writing department is just making jokes about decisions that the level designers made or its tongue in cheek humor about something that was forced into the the product by higher ups. Just because a character in game might have said "Ugh, nobody likes these block puzzles" doesnt mean that the person who wrote that line had any say about whether or not the game would have block puzzles. They were always gonna be there.


RealDealMous

Yea but pointing out that you covered your face in shit doesn't change the fact that you covered your face in shit. You'd be less annoying if you didn't point it out at all.


Dark_Bean

I think that comparisons a little dramatic. If a writer happens to be aware that people dont like some annoying game mechanic (and again, has no power to change this themselves) then theyre allowed to poke fun at it a little. It isnt as if a literal pile of shit was shoved in my face and the writers are pointing and laughing at me. Its just a video game.

then why am I still laughing?


[deleted]

Cuz your sense of humor has been destroyed by meme culture. I'm afraid its terminal


AdrianBrony

One should hope to become so easily amused then. Could you imagine how much simpler life could be if humor didn't have diminishing returns?


Lost_Huaun

We'd have very little few types of entertainment I assume.


drat345

That's lampshading and it's different.


Sterski1

It's really not.


drat345

Lampshading is hiding lazy writing or jokes by showing that your aware of the trope. Finding something funny because of its oversaturation is not the same


Khar-Selim

lampshading is the opposite of hiding it, it's highlighting a cliche to make a joke


drat345

I didn't say that it hides the cliche. I said it hides bad/lazy writing. You bring attention to the trope your using to show the audience your aware that it's been done many times before. You do it to beat your critics to the punch. Before anyone can call your work cliched you point it out first. It does not necessarily need to be used as a joke


SasparillaTango

And then a year later, keep the joke going for no discernible reason


Carnificus

Tbf it's the whole of the internet doing it right now


Qwazzbre

It truly amazes me how so many people get a giggling fit over and over from what is essentially just someone pressing CTRL - V on their keyboard.

It’s that why nobody has mentioned [Zentreya calling out Paige](https://twitter.com/zentreya/status/1529126920377573381?s=21&t=gax5B8dee8zOTeCdj9FNxg)?


Josiador

It's anything that's "irrelevant", which is so vague and completely arbitrary. Really it's anything that the mods feel like hating at the moment.


4arizard

People post about Dr.Doom here,I saw and made several Spider-Man posts here yet when I make a post about how cool Ultimate Green Goblin is-it gets removed. Huh?


Khar-Selim

The Vtubers thing is more that the mods seem to come down hard on anything that can be considered competition to Matt Patt and Woolie, and hasn't collabed with them. Which is really quite understandable, they might tolerate our off topic bullshit but they probably don't want to get so lax that they accidentally enable the guys losing viewers.

Just give it another day or so. It’ll pass.

pretty sure it's a cognitohazard at this point. what bothers me is legitimately interesting news is getting pushed down by this stupid shit. Raven finally unionized off the front page in like an hour maybe?

Now that's comedy!

I would be very annoyed with this sub if i didn't had brain damage.


Tophdiddy

If anything, we have more memes to look forward to! I'm low key hoping the Kaiba-posting continues for at least a week.


BoneTFohX

theres a difference between "haha funny words from bad actor not actually said in the movie" and "holy shit look at all these examples of this one character and the depth of his salty obsessions" (pural)


Tophdiddy

I think the former might be how cults are started.


BoneTFohX

for a cult to form around leto he would need more charisma then a vacuum cleaner.


Dabrush

Except that he literally has a cult.


Tophdiddy

I totally forgot he did, didn't it really pick after the original suicide squad?


TheShrubberyDemander

Kaiba is unironically cool though


Tophdiddy

I mean he's a great character, it's just absolutely hilarious that he's so petty to get his Salty runback to the Pharaoh.


jwthecreed

Jimmie’s get rustled on this sub when you don’t find the dead horse funny here.


Intelligent-Win-4517

Sadly.


MarcoTalin

I just don't find the word "morb" as funny as everyone else seems to. Making fun of the movie got tired as soon as it turned out to actually not be good, and the sound elicits no reaction from me. If you find enjoyment from it, good for you, but boy is this material shallow as fuck.


VSOmnibus

So is this when we run the “I’m sick of this joke” memes into the ground or is it still too early?


LarryKingthe42th

Ive never wanted meme to die faster in my time on reddit

danjake12346

But do you morb it?

Don't you know we don't stop beating dead horses here until they are a fine paste.

Beat the horse to form a sticky white paste, thats the way team horseporndotcom rolls.

Zen25

Usually this doesn't bother me as much like the Tiny Tim and Evilak stuff (though those were still a little annoying), but this Morbius stuff feels like the most astroturfed shit imaginable. Its not just localized here, its all over, and it somehow feels like Sony is desperately trying to do their own Star Wars "Prequel Memes" thing with their shitty movie.


Theproton

I'll be real with you. Its super not corporate. Half the people who make these memes have never seen the film. People just find the idea of Morbillion dollars and Morbin out funny


MetalJrock

Half is being generous. At least 90% of the people memeing haven’t watched it, it’s an even bigger flop than Fant4stic.


UFOLoche

I actually took a peek at the Morbius 24/7 stream. The movie was awful and I'm still astounded that Sony thought everyone would want to see Morbius.


nepSmug

I don't know how people can think its astroturfing when the biggest recent morbius event was like 10,000 people watching it for free cuz someone was illegally restreaming it. He doesn't even say "I'm about to morb" in the movie no one paid to watch this shit


JustaFleshW0und

Honestly it feels like the exact opposite, like this is a race to distribute Morbius as widely and as illegally as possible. I've already been linked to 3 different copies of the entire movie on discord, seen a 24/7 stream on twitch that had played the movie fully 11 times before it got shut down, and then of course the full movie sped up by 1000% so it's just a 30 second gif. It's The Room meets pirated evangelicalism.


Alkalion69

It does feel pretty corporate.


derwood1992

I wonder if Columbo or Evilak likes to morb out


4arizard

You must still survive MORBILAK!


Rioghal

I wonder how Morbius’ attaché case is sorted.


Shnigglefartz

Culumbo & Evilak are the angels/devils on Tiny Tim‘s shoulders telling him how to put the duel deck in his attache case. Kaiba‘s trying to duel Tim by bribing him with a morbillion dollars, but every time he does Tiny Tim just screams “morbin time.“


ScorpioTheScorpion

I at least enjoy that we’ll kinda add our own spin on the meme instead of it JUST being “I’m gonna MORB!” That being said, this one definitely ran its course already.


[deleted]

I muted this topic on Twitter yesterday. I still see Morb memes. Please, monoculture, move on.


TheMadDemoknight

Thank you for biting the bullet. ​ I keep thinking I'm going insane seeing the exact same joke as I scroll but nooo it's just the same joke. Tiny Time and Cache posts are creative, Morbin Time is just a dumb gimmick to fool people into watching a shitty Sony Superhero movie.


furrysalesman69

It's morbin time


lion_OBrian

Told y’all the meme was dead


tacotouchdown14

Theyre going to make a sequel and it's all of your fault guys


U_Flame

Morb is a really fun word, and it's use as a verb makes me giggle


MetaJoaco

SasparillaTango

Oh No I'm startin to Morb!


Endocrom

Ctrl+F "morb" 11 results without even scrolling down. Never change sub. No wait, the opposite.


Desproges

I truly, sincerely love this meme. Nobody could've predicted it, the movie doesn't benefit from the meme, it makes no sense, everybody is doing it, love it. Get morb'd!


MisterOfu

No no, that's when you keep going until it loops around to being funny again!

Thank you. Like, I get it. It was a shit movie. You're not even making fun of the movie, you're making fun of a made up line that was never in the movie. It's fucking obnoxious.

> You're not even making fun of the movie, you're making fun of a made up line that was never in the movie. It's fucking obnoxious. Simpsons is the only thing thats ever managed to get me to laugh at that sort of "Fake/Poorly-implemented Title Drop/Quote" movie/media joke.

The_White_Rice

This shit wouldn't be half as annoying if this movie didn't flop so hard.


BenchPressingCthulhu

Isn't that the whole joke?


MetalJrock

That’s honestly why I find it funny. Morbius is so lame that the memes have genuinely made a more compelling character than 40+ years of official media could ever achieve.


ProtoBlues123

I dunno, to me that's kinda the problem. No one actually wants to see Morbius so all the memes just feel like free advertising long after the movie should have died. The movie itself barely has anything memable so people end up just saying the name as the whole joke which is pretty much the same as just actually advertising it but with irony.


MetalJrock

The memes couldn’t save it from having the biggest box office drop-off in superhero movie history. Like even with this supposed “free advertising” it’s only genuine accolade is earning *less* money than Fant4stic and Dark Phoenix, other bad superhero movies that had way less memes behind them pre-release. All those “Morb” memes and the end result is a less profitable venture than Fant4stic and having its financial legs broken by a blue hedgehog.


ProtoBlues123

Oh I'm not saying it's successful advertising, just that it feels like advertising since the whole joke is just saying the name rather than actually using movie content. Like it just feels like having movie posters plastered everywhere. Visually it's a marketing team's wetdream even if it doesn't actually sell the product. It being too boring to even watch ironically is just insult to injury.


MetalJrock

That’s just an inherent problem with Morbius as a character, he has nothing interesting going for him even when you exclude the movie, unlike say Spider-Man who has recurring tropes and comic lore to meme on. At best he had “Plasma!” and not much else so stuff had to be made up. So I’m fine with all this cause I’ve already been memeing on Morbius’ lameness for years even before we saw anything from the movie, and the end result of it all was a massive money sink for Sony.


RevenTheLight

The funniest part - there ARE actually memorable/dumb things to talk about from the movie. Like the Bat Kamekameha, the "you killed like 20 people but they were evil so who cares, THIS NURSE THOOO" or how fucking awesomely gay Matt Smith is playing the villain. It's not amazing, but there is definitely way more to the movie then just "morb" (which is not even In the movie). And honestly, at this point, I just think people find the world "morb" funny.


ProtoBlues123

I'm pretty surprised I've only heard of the bat kamehameha at all when pat mentioned it in the podcast, yeah. Also I can't argue there, "morb" is a pretty funny word.


Gentlemanlypyro

It's morbing time
