Will Smith trying not to cry wasn't the most humiliating aspect of his meme. It's the fact he stayed with her that was the most humiliating.

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

And then embarrassed himself and Chris Rock wildin' over this beach

I disagree that staying with her was necessarily humiliating after what I can only assume is her first offense (i guess that's the right word here...:D) However, if there is no saving the marriage at that point you're right.

Absolutely insane that the police didn’t do crap about the joyride. I can understand not arresting due to age, but that family should have been hooked up with a social worker and more to ensure that this kind of thing didn’t happen again. Shame on them Edit: I don’t know how this happened but I never said CPS, I’m talking about social workers. Most social workers aren’t affiliated with CPS

[@BlakeplaysFortnite]

Naw they don’t need a social worker. CPS is horrible for kids want the police needed to do is have him go to court and have the judge make him take court mandated therapy and behavioral therapy fully paid by the court/government to correct him because if you put him in that program and he gets taken away from his grandma. He’ll get worse most likely his grandma is doing her best.

[@Harudodo]

@ I don’t think you understood what I’m saying - I’m saying they should have connected the family with a social worker, not the foster system. Social workers do a lot more than just CPS. They’d be able to help set up proper counseling and help the grandma and kid in many ways. I’m not saying he should go into the system, I’m just saying they should have been connected with a social worker

[@YaBoiJonesy]

CPS rarely does anything to help kids, what he needs it therapy

[@Harudodo]

@@YaBoiJonesy I’m not talking about CPS. CPS is sh!t. I’m saying they need a social worker to help them navigate therapy among other things, social workers do a lot more than work for CPS, most don’t

[@SetariM]

There is a massive shortage of social workers in the USA. It's not as easy as you think it is.

[@viyanjain538]

A meme should be something wholesome that connects everyone because its funny but when the meme ruins its depicted person's life than its no longer a meme.

[@SkibidiToilet-z9h]

That’s what makes it funny

[@artemhanawalt4395]

Sure that sounds nice but that is not how it works hahaha nowhere in the definition of a meme does it say that it has to be wholesome..... It is a viral internet sensation through form of image/video. Typically a still image from a video in which there are words said out loud but the image is just a snap from the video and it has text over it often very varied... Like one person creates it and then other people create many other versions of it. There isn't a 100% strict precise definition but that is typically what a meme is... In no way when you try to find out what a meme is or look up it's definition will it say that it has to be wholesome... In fact majority are not at all wholesome and often opposite of wholesome... It sure would be nice... But almost everything in this world could be exponentially improved... Very much about the many things could be much better...

Getting that boy away from his parents and into the care of his grandmother was definitely best for him. I just wish she was stricter with him and set clear expectations for him, because seeing that he never learned and never grew out of his horrible behaviors just shows that he never cared to be a better person.

[@Wiltac]

I saw the thumbnail & thought..."eh, I've seen that one specific situation on quite a few videos.". That was before I checked my notifications. I didn't realize it was one of your videos.

Bro puts out videos so fast with such quality. Legend!

[@aosabi]

kind of a stretch to call him a murderer when it was manslaughter at best, and 100% self defense. the only reason he is still in jail, is because of the grape guys connections, from lawyers to police... imagine being given "grape soda" and then being arrested for life because all of the evidence was destroyed by his brother the police man, and not having a fair trial because of his judge friend...

[@da_jamaican]

For those who didn't know Jordan and his bad gambling habits is the reason why he lost his dad.. he owed the mafia and they decided to teach him a lesson by taking out someone he loves the most.. jordan has been guilt striken ever since

[@kirahhdrop]

Huh-

[@あっれくす-あくま]

Okay even if this was true, which I doubt but whatever, it is never the victims fault for being murdered. My friend owes me 20 bucks but I'm not going to murder them. You're an asshole ngl

A part 2 would be nice, as there's plenty of memes that maybe don't have **shockingly** dark backstories, but that destroyed lives of people featured in them, e.g. "the angry feminist" image that was actually a carefully chosen unflattering frame from a video featuring plenty of students, one of them a chill young woman who ended up being "memed" - and who was stalked and harassed for years after the image became popular in certain online places (I'm not 100% sure if that harassment ever stopped). Or the Star Wars kid who was not only bullied in meatspace but also relentlessly made fun of online for years.

Michael got me crying I lost my mom ,my rock, my biggest supporter. She was hard working and had a heart of gold and a mouth of a drunken sailor. I thrive to be half of the woman she was. I often get jealous for those who got a mom and pissed off whom those treat their mother badly. Sorry a lot of sad story and also my mom absolutely loved Michael Jordan I still have her bulls signed photo.

[@KolettRone]

Why censor the word "kill" if you yourself sometimes pronounce it uncensored? And when will KZbin finally grow up and remove the dumbest "safe content" rules?

[@JustAshWatchingVideos]

This is why i'll always prefer to use cat memes than irl ones any day. Imo, to me, it seems disheartening & disrespectful to use someone's face as a meme without knowing the context or even not having their permission. Bc if my face was on the internet & being used as a meme behind my back. I'd be scared & pissed. Esp if kids are involved for gosh sakes.. 🫤 Cat & video game memes should be the go-to thing to use as a meme (imo) bc then i don't feel bad whenever i see & read them like i did when watching this. My heart hurted & ached watching this & hearing how the internet reacted. It's inhumane, sad & disgusting honestly 😥 So ty for the great reminder message at the end, VV ❤️‍🩹

[@ChakatSandwalker]

The caption you read for the plastic surgery section was 'The only thing you'll ever have to worry about is how to explain it to the kids.' What you *actually* said was 'The only thing you have to worry about after plastic surgery is explaining you'll have to do it to your children'. Two *very* different concepts, one implying that eventually the kids will have to be told why their mother looks so different from them, the other implying that the mother will put her children through plastic surgery as well so they resemble their mother. In other news, I've never heard of the majority of these memes -- the woman screaming at the cat, Deez nuts and the nodding man were the only ones I knew, though I'd never seen the original Deez nuts clip. Maybe I'm too old for Internet culture.

[@NOYOUSHUTUP3.14]

The deez nuts punchline has been around since the early 90s, it was actually in a skit on Dr. Dre's original "The Chronic". I don't mean any kind of disparagement towards the meme guy, just pointing out that its not a new thing. It was even in an episode of The Boondock cartoon in the early 00's
