How Do You Caption A Meme?

[@0zNIE]

ill let you in on my secret, i make my memes by finding a funny meme, right clicking, then hitting "copy image" then pasting it wherever i want

[@mattabrown2379]

You're the guy!?

[@redwiltshire1816]

Yeah same but with KZbin frames

[@NealBauer]

NO! MY MEME NFTs! THEY'RE WORTHLESS!!!

[@404Tony]

I steal them from twitter replies

[@tiyenin]

Right clicking? So, like... on a desktop? Normie scum

[@adamb306]

I think the daily upload schedule is actually helping Sumito's quality. Diving into tighter minutiae of meme culture versus feeling like a video isn't complete unless it encompasses an entire gigantic spectrum (an impossible task) really makes the content more digestible. And honestly there's another 35 hours worth of dissection just on the relatively simple "Text + Image" discussion to be done. It fits much better going paragraph by paragraph rather than trying to capture the entire compendium in a single video.

[@bootlegbilly1]

Wow, it's like Sumito is some kind of internet historian

[@MrEternusVox]

And it's a good thing too, because we know damn well Internet Historian is never gonna put out this much content

[@skeletonbuyingpealts7134]

No, Sumito cites his sources

[@Phantomdude]

Some sort of internet historian who doesn't plagarize. Hopefully...

[@ama_lik]

and telling us stories like some kind of "story mode"

[@pismodude2]

These held up a lot better than rage comics/faces.

[@lorenzoinatree111]

Not only do I respect the Incredibles reference, but I praise the smirk immediately after because you know it was a damn good one. 🙏🙌

[@TheBaconShaman]

Good news! You did use "tangentially" correctly! In mathematics a tangent is a line that intersects a curve at only one point (rather than the more common two), hence saying that something is tangentially related means that there is a connection, but that connection loose, nebulous or otherwise less relevant than other connections. It's also why the phrase "going off on a tangent" means to get sidetracked or to get distracted - tangents don't follow the curve that would be the topic of conversation.

[@blanky6739]

Bad news! He said tangenically! lmao

I make my memes by snorting everything under my fridge before I open photoshop in a dark room with no ventilation.

[@Tepity]

Good job, Sumito. Felt some hardcore nostalgia watching this, wasn't expecting it.

[@AttentionDeficitGuy]

Something about the Demotivational Poster format that gets overlooked: one of the reasons why this became the grandfather of all meme formats is because it was so easy to reproduce in MS Paint Back in the day, Paint was the most sophisticated image editor most people had access to - you probably didn't have Photoshop unless you were wealthy or worked/studied in the graphic design field, and most of the budget (or free) alternatives that exist now either didn't back then, or were relatively unknown. Websites to generate memes didn't really exist either (partially because the most commonly used images hadn't yet been set in stone). So if you wanted white text on a black background (by far the most readable format for text), you didn't have Photoshop, and you weren't one of those wizards who could import MS Word clipart text into your Paint memes, Demotivational Posters were the way to go

[@eyeofthebeholder_]

Silly Sumito, you don't make memes, you save the ones that make you chuckle, then post them as your own. 😊

[@mattabrown2379]

put this episode in a time capsule! we should have a meme history month too

[@dadbodsupreme]

thanks for uploading, you're my 13th reason why

[@michaelbain9086]

very large video today Sumito, thanks you

[@mckeeganator5844]

One day he’s gonna do the history of all the random categories of memes and the intro will just be eye witness intro with memes.

[@beeeennnnnnn]

I remember hopping into your stream on time and you were adding and explaining 7tv/bttv emotes and it was super fun, maybe a video on that? I'd love it

[@powerofthekitten]

Keep getting distracted, just start vibing with music. Had to watch twice😅

[@SnipyShino]

Loved this video Even though it made me feel ancient. This must be how veterans feel seeing the documentaries about the war they were in. Definitely a reasonable comparable parallel. Remember the 9gag / 4chan war?

[@kaybolol]

"old 4chan days"...you never leave 4chan Sumito

[@Ickbard]

When you went into Doge comics I thought you were gonna talk about the rage comics being the next iteration due to the fact it has a cast of characters that take the doge approach but Flanderize the characters to a new level where we can get the jist of the story before we read the text

What about the proto-memes? Way back from the early 4chan days. Before even demotivationals and icsnhazchzburger, there was triforcing, milhouse is not a meme, getting dubs and trips, bumping, walking the dinosaur, “takes a crane to get it out”, confirmed kill count, inb4shitstorm.jpg, etc…
