Tumblr Thread: Hitting Terminal Meme


Memes are a sort of ephemeral form of communication. Most of them need some sort of context in order to operate well. As this tumblr thread shows, the further we get from some, understanding them becomes a form of cultural anthropology. These ones still mostly make sense though so it's still pretty funny. For more tumblr stuff, here are some random tumblr gems to tumble through.

Text - mommacomms I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE 2 pagesofkenna it is a YMCA reference - that's one of the 6 memes being represented here ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1) this first lyric replacement ("take the breadsticks and run") is a reference to the tumblr meme 'stuffing breadsticks into my purse'.
