Seriously, social media brand accounts are always a huge turn off regardless how hard they try to be relatable or "funny".

I always imagine, the poor social media person's wage directly depends on how many viral posts they've made. And so they try and they try again, hoping that one day, one of their ~~sterile~~ brand-safe posts will somehow hit a nerve and make it big time.

Unfortunately, that still does not make these forced jokes any funnier.

This is really great little comic. Has excellent pacing in 4 panels

Why were the blue people so unhappy when the fat red people showed up at the swingers party?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Because they are fatphobic.

Is this in response to the BBC going mastadon?

Call me edgy, but even at the phase between the brands using it and the normal use of the meme there's the period when the meme is overused and kinda obnoxious (like the pickle Rick meme).

Then sometimes the template becomes deep fried or somewhat distorted and it gets funny again ahah

god I remember when big brands first started using memes to relate to their customers. Cringe warning

I was expecting this one from 2004

What an idea, take intentionally bad music and art, then unleash it on people not in on the joke.

The Quiznos ads are modern art.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Those ads really worked well on me 20 years ago haha. So maybe not as stupid as first glance indicates.
