“DAE le memes? LOL EPIC!”
ROFLMAO
much wow
this is the kind of thing old people on facebook think is funny. its just so incredibly banal
I think it’s more like:
“what (old) people thought was funny 16 years ago, when the internet and especially memes weren’t that nuanced, yet”
Yes, you guessed it. I was there in these ancient times…
Old people? It’s only 2011 I’m not that o- fuck.
Yeah, recently I got hit with the “Honey, we are not in the “young adults” demographic anymore.”.
My knees agree with that comment
Well it’s signed idiot of the East, but…
It takes a relatable concept, combines it with a couple Korean tropes from manhua, and does it all with fresh art. It’s self referential too
Now look at it in context. Clearly this is a webcomic artist, it’s not badly done, but it looks like it was done quickly. It has a message - “sorry, I didn’t have anything special to say, I’ll share the feeling of getting caught doomscrolling”
Based on the name and the comic, the artist seems to have a self depreciating sense of humor… It seems in line with that
It’s stupid. It’s layered. The layers are stupid. But it’s stupid and layered on purpose with a clear message. That’s art
It reminds me of a video I saw today where someone bought a pineapple and put it on an exhibit for a laugh, and came back to find a glass case around it. He asked his professor about it, and the professor complimented the way the glass case pressed down on the pineapple leaves.
The guy then owned up to it all, the venue decided to just leave it as is… But they said they had no idea who put the case on it
