It's like the equivalent of finding out your kids also like Thomas the Train or Pokémon as you did once. Mutual meme humor is way more precious though.

Thomas the train just sounds so wrong.

Unrelated, but I recently worked with a guy who was basically identical to the child thing in this meme.

Welp be sure to tell Bowl Cut Bin Laden that toasters can't hurt him

My wife asked me why I carry a gun around the house.

"To fight the motherfucking Decepticons," I said.

She laughed. I laughed.

The toaster laughed.

I shot the toaster.

Why would he lie to him?

Better keep him away from those hell machines.

I'm not one for mocking someones appearance, but he was a total cock so I'm gonna go ahead and mock his appearance.

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

That poor poor cock?

I just wonder what it is like to be this poor child. I mean, he's probably an adult now. If it was my photo being used this way, I would totally put it on my resume when applying for jobs.

the joke is psychedelic drugs (or how teens in the 00's thought they worked lol)

I'm 38 and remember this R****t moment, she wasn't even born when it landed. She's a very cool kid.

Can I get some context? I’ve not seen it, but it looks like fun crazy

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly have no more context other than someone made it and I remember seeing it across all the aggregator sites (I was mostly on fark back then) for a short while. Someone posted the KYM link upthread.

It's just so stupidly random, I love that she's developed the same weird sense of humour as her two (much) older bros.
