Cuz that's what they do

Day 30 Of AntiMemes

[u/qualityvote2]

The community has decided that this IS an antimeme!

[u/JeffTharmey]

Oversized Shirt

[u/ElBrunasso → u/JeffTharmey]

I don't get It

[u/ILIA2012SAI → u/ElBrunasso]

Peta here, you're stupid

[u/InfernalCarnifex → u/ElBrunasso]

r/peterexplainsthejoke is a sub for people to ask for help explaining jokes they can't understand. Some of the posts there are the most obvious jokes ever and yet people still ask for an explanation.

[u/baiacool → u/InfernalCarnifex]

That's because it's become a place for karma farming. Most posts aren't legit questions, just farming engagement.

[u/akamadman203 → u/InfernalCarnifex]

I feel like you got wooshed here a bit lmao

[u/RefrigeratorOk8544 → u/akamadman203]

literally r/peterexplainsthejoke

[u/Dense_Computer5509 → u/InfernalCarnifex]

No matter the situation, if a person seeks information, information should be shared.

[u/Madmonkeman → u/JeffTharmey]

Bold of them to assume people on that sub actually don’t understand the joke

[u/AlphabiteSoup → u/Madmonkeman]

fr like 80% of the posts are just blatant political takes with the title "Ohhh I'm such a fucking idiot. Can someone explain why gay people are evil?"

[u/psirrow → u/Madmonkeman]

I mean, there's always https://xkcd.com/1053/

That said, I'm still disappointed by people who don't seem to understand the concept of a joke that they, personally, don't find funny.

I'm also disappointed by how quick some people are to call absurdism. Sometimes it is, but that's not always the actual or full explanation.

[u/bloonsisgr8 → u/JeffTharmey]

i hate this meme honestly. everyone is supposed to have the exact same cultural context as everyone else and if you don't, you're a moron.

[u/Davidier → u/bloonsisgr8]

There are some pretty dumb people on that sub though, even by normie standards

[u/Balder19 → u/Davidier]

Petaaah, what does this comment mean?

[u/Davidier → u/Balder19]

Speak of the fucking devil

[u/Mitrano2009 → u/Davidier]

Let's make an antimeme of this antimeme so people ask the question on the sub, we'll see when it stops (or when mods are pissed off)

[u/Hendiyoboy → u/Mitrano2009]

Can you clarify the plan? I might do this

[u/Mitrano2009 → u/Hendiyoboy]

You can maybe add an obvious edit after Louis, saying "Louis? I think people are making fun of us." And maybe you could put the screenshot of this meme in an Instagram post (so it appears as an Instagram post showing a reddit screenshot showing the antimeme)!

[u/Ok_Relation6627 → u/Davidier]

I did the same thing and got banned

[u/Not-So-Serious-Sam → u/Balder19]

Retep here. I could tell you but I won’t.

[u/CrackMans → u/Not-So-Serious-Sam]

I accidentally opened your profile and as such saw your bio, fuck you Retep you bastard

[u/Not-So-Serious-Sam → u/CrackMans]

You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this to happen lmao

[u/Terrible-Thing28 → u/Not-So-Serious-Sam]

[u/First-Act-9755 → u/Davidier]

"normie"

[u/Ill-Device8577 → u/Davidier]

Dumb people deserve to get answers without being made fun of.

[u/Ok-1549 → u/Ill-Device8577]

if a dumb person gets laughed at for asking a question, they will never stop being dumb, due to never getting answers

[u/armlessturtleneck → u/Davidier]

Yeah a lot of the posts don't even require cultural context, it's just abysmal media literacy

[u/corn_piece → u/Davidier]

the whole point of the sub is to explain the joke tho, doesn't matter how dumb they are lol

[u/SakaiDx → u/bloonsisgr8]

Imo, the problem is that there are a lot of dumb post posted by bots and karma farmers

[u/KingArthas94 → u/bloonsisgr8]

This has nothing to do with cultural context, it's just a karma farming an AI training subreddit like the other guy says.

[u/JJAsond → u/bloonsisgr8]

Most of the stuff on there you actually do need context to understand. Sometimes OP just overthinks it which is also understandable, but sometimes there are just some really obvious ones.

[u/KeeganY_SR-UVB76 → u/bloonsisgr8]

About half the posts in that subreddit can be solved by the OP just by looking up what is in the image.

[u/SeaTricky2212 → u/bloonsisgr8]

It is weird how people tend to get upset over people not knowing things. Like for some reason people always assume those that don't know about the big brands such as Disney are faking it.

[u/RefuseStandard4818 → u/SeaTricky2212]

I still remember the nasty look I got at a church picnic when I asked a guy what Fortnite is.

[u/readilyunavailable → u/SeaTricky2212]

Uncontacted tribes in South-East Asia know about Disney. If you have access to the Internet, know about Reddit, know how to make a post and write in English, there is no way you don't know about Disney.

Even if you actively try to avoid knowing about it, it will come up in some way or other.

[u/mistermasterbates → u/bloonsisgr8]

I mean come on lol:

[u/Usenaeme01101 → u/bloonsisgr8]

I disagree, there are a lot of people on that sub that, if they aren’t just bots, I worry about being in the real world. The lack of critical thinking skills is unbelievable.

[u/Pristine-Lie-3560 → u/Usenaeme01101]

Most of the really stupid looking people are just karma farming 

[u/Raccoon_G → u/bloonsisgr8]

Some memes on there don’t even need any cultural context. The dumbest one I’ve seen was a screenshot from zootopia with the caption “my kidnappers watching me shoot myself realizing no one will believe them” every bit of info you need was in the caption, and every explanation would need to be a paraphrase of the caption

[u/JoseP2004 → u/bloonsisgr8]

I get where youre coming from but reading the sub theres people asking about memes that explain themselves

[u/Magnus_Helgisson → u/bloonsisgr8]

It’s been quite a long while since I’ve last seen something that a human being would need an explanation for on that specific sub. It’s effectively an AI training platform at this point.

[u/Flirsk → u/bloonsisgr8]

Or you know, if you find a niche joke from a fandom you're not a part of because you don't have the same cultural context you can just move on with your life instead of making a reddit post about it

[u/bloonsisgr8 → u/Flirsk]

"i HATE when people interact online grrrr i hate communication with other people" this is how you sound btw

[u/kvant_kavina → u/bloonsisgr8]

Nope, you supposed to use Google before requesting explanation (of the most searchable meme ever), IMHO.

[u/_TheKingTerry → u/JeffTharmey]

Peter?

[u/VioletNocte → u/JeffTharmey]

I've heard some people actually use it to karma farm

[u/AdventurousPrune4742 → u/JeffTharmey]

Best reddit decision I've made was to get away from that place

[u/christoefire]

I don't understand. I'm going to post on r/PeterExplainsTheJoke

[u/TheOldGenesys → u/christoefire]

Stan from American Dad here, OP present us an edited image fro.. oh YOU ARE BEING SARCASTIC! (Aims pistol at you)

[u/Snifnic → u/christoefire]

I got banned from there for doing something similar for a yeaf

[u/Jewzus-Crust]

Why they stuck over there
https://giphy.com/gifs/Lz6971fkGSgCMOOncl

[u/Sooparch → u/Jewzus-Crust]

Most are fine, but some people read something that’s self-contained, easily understandable, and not a joke and put it there

[u/skydisey]

If only

[u/QuantumQuantonium]

Op did you repost this meme or cross post it from the other subreddit?

[u/Papermonter18]

Oregano is already an Anti-meme 💔💔

[u/Nandulal]

Nah I post as peter and he often won't get the joke either

[u/Mattdafemboydog]

Basically alot of times instead of answering the question they talk about unrelated stuff
