Doge meme

[Jimlaad43]

Doge appears to be the most talked about meme in the Funny Pictures thread at the moment, with people posting pictures whilst others complain about it not being funny. I have decided to post this thread so we can get a general opinion on what the community thinks about it.
For those who don't know what Doge is, look here (Not a spam link).

Not funny at all.

 

[AudiMan2011]

One of the most annoying memes since the Dolan phase. It isn't even worthy of a light chuckle. Then the next phase after the Shiba memes will probably have something equally annoying.

 

[Adamgp]

I find them hilarious.

 

[Bopop4]

Depends.

Normally they're not very funny, and it's hard to come across a really clever one.

But the clever ones are very funny indeed.

I personally find it humourous when people try at a language and do poorly at it. That's partially due to the type of comedy I was exposed to when I was little where English and Cantonese (and even Vietnamese) are used interchangeably to create jokes or puns that the family has a good laugh about. "Sum Ting Wong" is a recent one we're getting a laugh out of.

As for the doge meme, at first I got the funny out of it, but like most memes, everyone wants to try at making their own without trying to get a very strong feel of it and end up contributing to a flood of unfunny memes being generated. Unfortunately, some people have been exposed to this more than the better ones. They reminded me of product packages that have the Engrish labels and those are amusing every so often.

I'm somewhere between 'meh' and 'dislike'. That attitude comes with age as you're more easily able to simply scroll past annoying crap to get to the good stuff.

 

[Eks]

I like them. They bring my mood up.

 

[Joel]

Coming around to it, if you look at it as words on the picture it's not funny but when you think of it as the dog's internal monologue it's funny.

 

[XS]

I don't like them. Like most memes, however, two or three were genuinely hilarious but then tons of people thought they could make a funny one and now the internet is flooded with Doge memes which aren't all that great and that gets annoying.

 

[Skython]

The internet is full of mindless meme creators, this one is just another one of them. I believe meme's should be made by people who are actually funny, and people who make them to show their mates for an in-joke or something.

*Googles "Doge meme"*. I have honestly never ever heard of this.

 

[Akmuq]

I'm gonna guess and say the creator of the Doge meme has never been considered funny.

 

[Famine]

Memes die when people stop talking about them.

Also, one of the rules of the funny pic thread is no complaining about what is/isn't funny.

 

[White & Nerdy]

Some of them are pretty stupid, but they're nowhere near as annoying as a certain TV show a couple years back.

Carry on posting them, I say.

Also, if no complaining is allowed, how will people ever know what other people don't want them to post?

When nobody likes or laughs at their posts.

 

[Cano]

I don't even get it, and find it completely unbearable.

I find it completely unbearable.

I don't even get it

Well there's your problem.

 

[Cano]

Yeah I know. But even if I got it I wouldn't find it bearable.

 

[Seismica]

I don't like them, but it's probably because I don't get why they're funny. Does anybody know where/how it originated? Maybe a video or something?

Memes tend to have a bit of context behind them which makes them funny. But all we get here is a picture of a dog and random statements stamped across the image. That in itself isn't funny.

 

[Slash]

Some of them can be funny but most of them are just stupid and annoying.

 

[Com Fox]

I don't get how they are funny and are very annoying to me, especially how often they are posted .

It's supposed to be some sort of internal monologue by the dog. Apparently it started years and years ago with fans of Shiba Inu dogs, and probably was never intended to go beyond their community.

 

[Sage Ages]

It inspires a rhapsody of hate, depression, and bad grammar.

 

[Famine]

What people should post is what's funny, in picture form. That's pretty much all you need to know (except the AUP).

 

[BobK]

Like @TB, I'm somewhere between "meh" and "dislike". I thought the first two or three maybe were mildly humorous. But the saturation point got reached pretty quickly, compounded by people coming up with variants that hardly anybody could consider humorous. In a month or so the fad will have passed and it'll be something else that people are doing, then overdoing.

Note that the above could have been written about pretty much any meme which has come down the road and probably any of those still to come.

Bottom line: If you like them, fine. If not, scroll past.

 

[MoLiEG]

I love them They make me lol

 

[terminator363]

KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE! Agh!

 

[phillgt2002]

*Googles "Doge meme"*. I have honestly never ever heard of this.

I second this. Some I can see being funny, but the rest just give me that "really?" face.

Doge appears to be the most talked about meme in the Funny Pictures thread at the moment

I can't wait until someone makes it their sole mission for the next several years to eradicate the doge meme from the internet in response.
