Language and culture evolve. I'm pretty sure skeletor wasn't 'meant' to be a meme in the first place.
It communicates quite clearly to me what the message is, thus meme well used I'd say.
Nah this is a devolution.
The woman in the meme is supposed to say something unreasonable, and that makes sense because she's clearly emotional and angry. Her correctly solving the puzzle doesn't align with her picture.
Then we've replaced the cat with Skeltor... for what? I guess him being wrong makes more sense than the cat because the cat is usually correct, or just minding their own business, but why not use the meme with the monkey looking sideways? Or why don't we use the Winnie the Pooh meme?
It just seems like someone slapped together three images they saw on Reddit without really trying to make sense. And for some reason people up vote this. Idk.
so... basically a meme?
Maybe to you. If this is the kind of content that you like and gets upvotes in this community then y'all have fun with it; it's not harming anyone. I just commented after seeing it on All because I only just noticed the trend of memes being used differently than they used to be.
i mean, in the sense that memes mutate and change over time. I feel like this is something common, since many years ago(?
