Ppl shouldn’t use google. They should ask people stuff and accept that they’re getting a less reliable version. Folk wisdom, hearsay, good stuff

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 memeshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_America_(song)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY

for like three weeks in May it was completely unavoidable if you spent any time on the internet
Is he the guy from Community?

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 (five years ago) link
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.

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

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

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

btw i have no idea what 'supernatural' is. So, diff worlds, i guess?
Supernatural is a CW show about two blandly handsome white men who uh…I guess hunt demons or some such thing

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 (five years ago) link
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)

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

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 (five years ago) link
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 (five years ago) link
I'm pretty sure those are actually lesbian traits

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.

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)

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.
