The narwhal thing isn’t quite the same, as it very rarely came up and I think was always cringe (at least it was 10 years ago).
100% on the rest, and I throw in “what?” Responded to with the above post in uppercase. That one was fine exactly one time, after the great time it was no longer clever.
Okay, I definitely agree the “meme” jokes and most-frequently-upvoted joke comments were stupid as fuck, but there was definitely some gold on occasion. I think we’re looking at a 1:100 ratio, but those 1’s would crack me up.
The actual original thoughts and reactions. Not the regurgitated “jokes” that were the Reddit in-jokes, but the genuinely funny takes you’d find every so often.
