This week’s theme, duck face. Somewhere along the lines, some photographer told a girl that it would be cute if she puffed out her lips a little bit like she was kissing the camera.

This week’s meme is “Meanwhile In X”
The Back Story: The Meanwhile X meme uses the old redirection from the silent movie era where if you wanted to redirect the story to a different location a slide would come up that said something along the lines of “Meanwhile, back at the ranch”. Sometime in February 2010, a flipped image of a Holden Commodore with the caption “Meanwhile in Australia†appeared on 4chan for the first time. An allusion to the age-old joke that everything in Australia is “upside downâ€, the image quickly became a favorite re-blog material on image board sites, blog networks and aggregator services. Since then, multiple variations with countries or locations and their stereotypes have been posted.
The set up: Take any picture that can illustrate ridiculous and absurd situations that are easily identified as stereotypical of a certain ethnicity, nationality, occupation or subculture and add the captions.
This week’s meme is Haters Gonna Hate
The Back Story: The phrase first appeared in the song “Playas Gon’ Play” by 3LW. In it, the lyrics are:
The playas gon’ play
Them haters gonna hate
Them callers gonna call
Them ballers gonna ball
Since then the word “hater” and variants of it have been adopted into common usage in American hip hop and comedy as well as casual vernacular for people who consider themselves successful.
The set up: Using a picture or GIF of someone or something doing something “pimp” and/or showing no regard for an individual or groups hostile remarks addressed toward the person or thing depicted.
