Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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
Reminds me of the always sunny interview where an audience member shouted “shut up, bird.” Kinda missed the point there.
Unfortunately there's a lot of people who love IASIP because they find the shitty, terrible characters relatable.
That's the point people your parents age become aware of the meme. Brands usually jump on when they know it's safe, and grandma sharing it on Facebook shows it's safe.
yeah, the second frame could show at least one person being obviously "over it" already
If you stop liking something because many people like it, you’re just as dependent on the mainstream as if you only like something if many people like it.
I just like stuff independently on whether other people like it. If many agree and use it, that’s cool.
I don't think they meant they dislike it because a lot of people like it. A joke can just get stale when you see it too often.
Sometimes it doesn't imo tho, I don't know jokes are weird and
