Basically just yellow journalism.

In This Article:

Hello my dear, singular reader. The Meme Examiner is a new weekly series brought to you by the creative, and often disturbing mind, of the internet "memer"(if you will allow me to use technical language).

The goal of each volume is to pick apart 10 memes that I find particularly interesting, and through doing that, completely eliminate any sort of humor that they may hold within.

Memes:

1. T(r)opical!

Is a little cold weather too much to ask?

This first meme goes out to all of you who live on the east coast. As you can see, this particular meme includes a dialogue between the residents of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States and Mother Nature. It also features a rather alarming picture of Hurricane Florence as it hurtles towards our beautiful North Carolina coast. Maybe memes will save us.

​2. Checkmate Atheists!​

Thanks God!

Whether you believe in the Christian story of creation, or you prefer to subscribe to some other reason for our existence, someone has to answer for the incredible amount of Wii Sports skill that has been bestowed upon me.

​3. Football Season​

Wow! Look at us go.

I have to say, living in a country that is just so dominant in one of the most important aspects of life is so empowering. Wouldn't you agree?

4. Daily Elon Drama

Oof

Oh how relatable you are, beloved meme. Such pseudo-sillies, am I right Sartre?

5. Vaccines Please!

Mom Power!

Oh wow the memes are getting spicy and controversial this week! I know it's a contentious topic, but please, for the betterment of the human (and planetary race), vaccinate your children.

6. Conversion Bonanza!

Just when we thought we had achieved world peace

"The Office" memes never go out of style. They offer such tension and dry-humor to the average Netflix binge watcher, so why not the Internet surfer?

7. Watch out for them Commies!

She should have disclosed that before marriage!

Wow, the blending of generic text with a vintage movie poster really increases the overall visual appeal of this meme. Its message is also straightforward and poignant, 10/10.

8. Side of Beef!

I think this one speaks for itself.

9. The Forbidden "Friendzone"

Objection!

One of my favorite species of meme is the "too real" post. Memes that deliver a message that strikes close to home while maintaining a veil of humor. I think this one fits the bill.

10. The Finale!

Let them eat cake!

Cute or chubby animal - ✅

Clever historical reference - ✅

Short and sweet - ✅

That's all she wrote this week folks! And by she, I mean me.

Goodbye.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
