Say what you will about the plagiaristic tendencies of self-referential meta comedy, but at least it’s humour
Just?
Sokath, his eyes uncovered!
Well that just, like, your opinion, man.
You aren’t wrong but you didn’t have to say it
You understand you just insulted my entire race of people? Had it not been for the laws of this land, I would have slaughtered you.
But yes.
What do you mean by this?
A boilerplate is basically a template with some adjustments to fit the situation.
It’s also a term for packed snow.
I’m familiar with the term, just trying to figure out an interpretation that isn’t just restating the definition of meme.
I think they mean in a boilerplate joke sense.
Making a meme is like making a joke where the punchline is basically worked out for you, you just need to figure out ingredients.
I’m not great with meme templates but take the Drake ugh/yay one. You just need something we dislike and a related thing we like. The punch line is Drake’s expression etc.
There’s more to a good meme but…
Yeah, I get that. It’s just, there isn’t really a revelation here. That’s just what memes are: units of cultural expression based on broadly recognizable forms. “A hammer is a weight on a stick you hit things with” isn’t really a showerthought, it’s just stating the definition of a hammer.
I agree it’s just another way to say the same thing.
Unless OP means memes are like packed snow.
