There are people with no frame of reference for certain pop-culture references of Internet meme references.
Such people need a crash course.
This thread is for these folks.

Please keep it clean.


I'll start this off.

This is Princess Kate.
She's the wife of Prince William.

Rick Rolling is when someone tells you to watch a video on a given topic.
But instead of putting a link to a given topic, they post a link to a video by Rick Astley.
Upon clicking the link, you are faced with Rick, and not the expected link.

Justin Bieber is a mega-worldwide singing star who was discovered on Youtube, but now is a major artist/performer.

Thank you Sir Stilly-a-lot
Though Deva has made me more than well aware of Bieber. She showed me her 'President of the Universal Order of Beliebers' card and the shrine she keeps of him in her basement.

Googled meme, still don't get it!

I find that you don't have to be interested in pop culture to get it, just be aware of the world around you and it will smack you upside the head!

Memes are a type of joke or idea theme.

This is a meme:


This is also a meme:



(It's a common internet joke that the lead singer of Nickleback's hair looks like ramen noodles... so somebody made a meme out of it.)

Also a meme:





The "totallylookslike" meme is a popular one, and there are thousands of hilarious comparisons. :p (not all are clean so just a heads up if you google it)

Aw Crud.

But... but... When he first became popular, I used to really like Rick Astley!

*dodges all the heavy things that will be thrown at her*

At least his first two songs were about commitment and being together forever! ;)

Thank you so much! That makes a lot more sense than how they explained it on various websites. Unfortunately for you, I may be forced to add this to my posts. You have unleashed a monster! Maybe that is why my daughter keeps me in the dark about these types of things.
