Oh god, yes!

From TheInternetArtist on Memegenerator, via loads of folks on the internet.

This one strikes a cord.

Memes about people you know

or; Seeing yourself in a meme is a bit like seeing yourself on the big screen at a sports event (or in the background during a news or local interest piece on TV).

They have absolutely no relevance when seen out of context, but god they're funny!




You had to be there.

(lol)Cat GIFs II! (+ Bonus!)

So it's been nearly two months since my first cat GIF post and, though I thought I'd gotten it out of my system then, it turns out I'm still saving most of the cat GIFs that I see and enjoy. Before the collection gets too big, I'll share a few of my current favourites. Again, the images come from various sources, mostly re-bloggers that found the images elsewhere and, again, original sources have long disappeared, all except the "Sun Burst Cat" which comes from Sally McKay (and thanks to TM for finding that sweet laser-eyed cat).








And now for the bonus!!! Kids (and a cat, to ensure smooth transition between main feature and bonus) getting kicked!!!





Moral of the story? GTF out of the way!!

LOLVogue - No cheezburger, I iz modl!

So these have been going on for a year now, but I am extremely happy to have finally found ... LOLVogue!



LOLVogue first graced the "pages" of Jezebel on August 16th, 2007 with LOL'Vogue': Scarves, Silverware & Scooters, and although at the time they felt LOLcats had already reached their pinnacle ("So much so, they're sort of over."), they've still managed to bring the fashion lulz to their first anniversary (tomorrow!). Happy Birthday LOLVogue!

On Psychotronic GIFs

August 5th's installment of IMG MGMT brought us Mr. Moody's visual essay on Psychotronic GIFs. Here Moody explains his interest in animated GIFs in general and his personal attraction to those of the "psychotronic" persuasion, these are images, films, etc. that "range from sincere social commentary to degrading trash. They concern teenagers, rock and roll, juvenile delinquents, monsters, aliens, killers, spies, detectives, bikers, communists, drugs, natural catastrophes, atomic bombs, the prehistoric past, and the projected future" (quote borrowed from the essay); it's a bit kitsch and a bit schlock. The aesthetic has been around for ages — questioned and celebrated — and the internet is indeed full of it.

Moody's choices (some are his own, while others are found) are nice and to the point, they are, as he said, "the money shots." They also reminded me of another GIF birthed from the great minds of a community I've quoted before: the Nom-wall.


It's a remix of a gruesome and sophomoric video from YouTube. The video itself borderlines on horror (just the idea!!) but the animation is pure hilarity. It is the money shot. As an animation it ticks off more boxes than the film itself: it concerns teenagers, rock and roll, juvenile delinquents, monsters, and catastrophes, but it is also a commentary on the shear absurdity of youthful delinquent behavior. You no longer feel bad for the kid, but laugh at the Nom-wall's insatiable appetite. Warning: Don't get too close to the Nom-wall!
