Meme Of The Week 9-9
This week’s meme is Sleeveface
The Back Story: Sleeveface (aka “LP Portraitsâ€) is a participatory/DIY internet meme similar to money face. The meme became popular in early 2008 after a group of Welsh DJs and vinyl collectors uploaded a “how-to make a sleeveface†video on YouTube:
Although the how to video sparked the internet trend, the Welsh DJs are not credited for creation of the concept as images of people doing this date back to the 60s. The DJs are only credited for the resurgence of the style.
The set up: Take the sleeve of a record and hold it up trying to line up the body parts then snap the pic.
Happy 90210 Day
For all you 30 somethings out there you’ll probably remember wasting your time watching this show. Oh sure, it was great back then, but now looking back, it was crap. Well with today being 9/02/10 that makes it a cause to celebrate the show that brought us all the drama our adolescent lives could handle. And for those who never saw it, here’s the opening credits. Don’t make fun of the fruity kid dancing around that seems to kind of stand out of the crowd. An entire generation made fun of that guy and he just married Megan Fox, which proves there’s no justice in the world!

Meme Of The Week 9-2
This week’s meme is The Leo Strut
The Back Story: During the filming of the movie Inception an image was snapped of Leonardo DiCaprio strutting off the set. Rumored that they had just finished shooting a scene and were taking a break for a little while he is pictured strutting with a smug look on his face as if he is really pleased with a job well done. None of us look like this when we’re going on our lunch break at work do we? Want to know why? Because he’s getting paid millions of dollars and at the time this picture was taken he was thinking about his trailer he was walking toward that was stocked full of fine hookers and a mountain of blow. You’d be strutting and happy too! I went to college and had dreams but now I have to sit here and write crap like this all day, but I digress. Anyway, the image circulated, people thought it was funny and showed a softer side of old Leo. Then it started to get photo shopped into different scenes and it began to spread like wild fire. For a meme that has only been around a couple of months it has already exploded in popularity and has achieved cross meme status many times over. The main attraction of this meme is the versatility, you can use it in pretty much anything. In popular examples the creator of the image may place Leo in a scene of destruction or disaster where it appears he may either be responsible or may be able to help or prevent what had happened but is joyfully walking away. Other images place Leo into crowds turning it into more of a Where’s Waldo style image. Some more place Leo into crowd scenes as to interact with what is going on.
The set up: Add Leo to an image
Meme Of The Week 8-26
This week’s meme is I CAME
The Back Story: This meme is generally used as forum humor. During the course of a forum thread if someone posts a picture of an attractive woman or if there is discussion of intercourse some clown will generally post an “I CAME” image. The way back long story of this is a bit too graphic for us to get into but let’s just say it involves a TV show with a little boy informing his mom of something he had just done with the family dog which is met with thunderous applause. This quote is taken directly from that scene in the TV show so draw your own conclusion.
The set up: Add the caption I CAME to an image portraying what looks like a scene of post ejaculation.
