sarahell: TiAmerica was an event single from early last year from Childish Gambino accompanied by a video with half a billion views that spawned nearly as many memes

for like three weeks in May it was completely unavoidable if you spent any time on the internet

I think I'm even further out of the loop than Tuomas and sarahell because I thought Community was some band or other.

don't be sorry! it's not a good song! Childish Gambino is not good! You should be watching Atlanta if you're not though.

tbf, US sitcoms are very often not as well-known outside the US as Americans seem to think.

tbf community had a very strong nerd following along the lines of "the it crowd" and spawned a gazillion memes itself.
i kinda hate it, but that's neither here nor there

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:02 (seven years ago)

i've only seen Community in memes.

separately the most memes i see are for the show Supernatural, for whatever reason. 90% of all gifs online are from that show.

Week 1: everyone loves it
Week 2: everyone hates it
Week 3: memes galore

i never see Supernatural memes and I have seen 13 seasons of that show...i must be doing internetz wrong

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:18 (seven years ago)

like, most tv memes i see are like, Spongebob, The office, and those shows with bitchy rich drama queens that seem kardashian-esque but are on some other show because I think I know what the kardashians look like, though maybe one or two idk

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:19 (seven years ago)

Supernatural meme content is like…at least 14% of tumblr iirc

Norm’s Superego (silby), Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:20 (seven years ago)

xp - oh yeah, and that show w/Danny deVito in it

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:21 (seven years ago)

sarah, those are housewives from assorted cities. Also, those Its always sunny in Philadelphia memes are, at the very least, perpetuated by me.

Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:24 (seven years ago)

btw i have no idea what 'supernatural' is. So, diff worlds, i guess?

Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:24 (seven years ago)

Supernatural is a CW show about two blandly handsome white men who uh…I guess hunt demons or some such thing

Norm’s Superego (silby), Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:25 (seven years ago)

the only good memes are blobby memes

Supernatural is a show that takes a lot of plots from Buffy, but is about two very attractive young men that exorcise demons, kill vampires, are targeted by the organized forces of heaven and hell, and they have a cool car, and a buddy who is an angel, but with that Wim Wenders aesthetic

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:26 (seven years ago)

and because i think a lot of the plots are taken from Buffy, one of the two men (they are brothers), has a lot of traits/issues that are feminine, so I enjoy watching it from a genderqueer perspective re Dean (the one they substitute for Buffy in the plots)

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:28 (seven years ago)

itt we answer all questions

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:28 (seven years ago)

oh that's fascinating, I only ever watched the pilot and was like "I cannot get involved in this" xp

Norm’s Superego (silby), Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:29 (seven years ago)

xp sunny - It's always sunny also shows up a lot in astrology memes, which are one of my fave meme types

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:29 (seven years ago)

xp silby -- there is apparently a lot of queer "shipping" (?) when it comes to supernatural, and like, it's not that much of a stretch

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:32 (seven years ago)

but i feel like, partly to "compensate" for the feminine qualities of Dean, they give him a lot of trad masculine traits like: fan of classic rock, wears plaid shirts & jeans, really into his car, eats bacon and lots of fast food, drinks shitty beer, easily tempted by attractive women --

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:35 (seven years ago)

I'm pretty sure those are actually lesbian traits

Norm’s Superego (silby), Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:37 (seven years ago)

quite

sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:47 (seven years ago)

i haven't watched network tv in so long i forgot the cw existed!

Right column Leftist (sunny successor), Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:00 (seven years ago)

Just did a quick google search and I'm glad I didn't waste my time waiting for the femme one on Supernatural to come out. At least Mac turned out to actually be gay.

forrest drumpf (Eric H.), Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:03 (seven years ago)

yes, finally.

I haven't watched This Is America
Should I?

had no idea there was queer subtext in supernatural.

always surprised to notice it is still being made.

only tv show that i ever see being filmed here that i've seen an episode of

( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:22 (seven years ago)

fgti, might as well? it has loads of sorta superobvious imagery that was hailed as supergenius when it came out, not a lot of discussion about it these days.

I was at a hotel where a Supernatural convention was taking place a few years back and the fandom... has a demographic

mh, Thursday, 31 January 2019 19:43 (seven years ago)

the Supernatural ep where they go to a Supernatural fan convention was p brilliant
the two lead characters are brothers, just fyi (I understand the actors are not)

rob, Thursday, 31 January 2019 20:15 (seven years ago)

what is the demographic

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 31 January 2019 20:33 (seven years ago)

the fandom may have aged but it was nearly all women in their late 20s to early 40s

mh, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:09 (seven years ago)

Disrespectful way to talk about women and Limbaugh imo

Brex Avery (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:13 (seven years ago)

xp that’s the case for most fandoms. Supernatural is unique for tons of reasons, but the strong conspiracy theory element amount lots of the fans would be up there.

gyac, Thursday, 31 January 2019 21:28 (seven years ago)

I really enjoyed that "This Is America" video
Donald Glover has an unexpectedly appealing hair/beard/torso combination
The first Childish Gambino I listened to was the Awaken, My Love! album and it was excellent
I understand that he was not excellent for a while prior to that
