[-] Zealousideal_Fox900@lemmy.world 52 points 3 months ago

Return to 2012: Obama Memes Edition.

Seriously, I really want to see that happen.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Obama gets a lot of shit for not being perfect, but his was a golden age of memes.

Hetro-sectional had me in stitches and I shat myself violently when I got to Vladimir Futon.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 29 points 3 months ago

vladimir futon ^its such a weak joke and yet its also sensational fourth wall breaking surrealist avant garde humour colour me impressed^

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 96 points 3 months ago

Vladimir Futon legit cracked me up.

[-] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 84 points 3 months ago

Cmon guys, we can say 'fuck' on the internet!

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

So yeah this used to drive me to the wall until I learned it's to bypass tiktok front page algorithms. It's a subversive use of self censorship to get the same message out.

[-] Zetta@mander.xyz 20 points 3 months ago

Yikes, I don't want no tiktok habits spilling into Lemmy.

Please, please don't

Vladimir Futon is quite well done.

I'm still snickering at it. It's so many levels in one name

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

I think I like "hetero-sectional" better.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 39 points 3 months ago

I'm a huge fan of the original joke, but I actually feel like this is misinformation that could be bad for the campaign and I'm happy to respectfully discuss why I feel that way.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 63 points 3 months ago

"Misinformation" come on now, do you really think people are gonna see this and think that's an actual conversation?

It's an obvious meme, you can let your hair down and just enjoy it!

Same vibes:

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 months ago

I know I seem like a massive stick in the mud but consider that there are people in this very thread struggling with what was really said and what wasn't. I fucking love the jokes and I love batting them among us but this image where it implies he's actually doing these more overt crass things is exactly the sort of image I'd expect my MAGA dad to share as proof of how satanic Walz is.

The stakes are high and memes are a big part of this election, moreso than in 2016 or 2020, and I know how fucking onlinechan that sounds but it's true, in a very mainstream way.

[-] Squirrelanna@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 3 months ago

If it wasn't this picture, your dad would find something entirely made up AND unfunny to share instead. It was never intended to change his mind and the odds are it wouldn't whether or not memes like this existed.

This is meant to get people who ARE reachable energized to vote through humor. And it's obviously working. The malaise everyone had with Biden has become hope!

[-] snek@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I am not an American but I sure hope as hell he did say that stuff because it's hilarious (obviously I don't think this conversation actually happened but at least a politician who says "Vladimir Futon" feels more like a politician I can trust)

I think he's talking about how JD Vance (probably) didn't actually make sweet sweet love to his couch, enjoy its supple leather curves, or moan as the couch rattled.

I need memory erasing drugs, that CIA-grade shit please.

I agree, a subtle reference like he did was funny but they should leave it at that, there's more than enough substantial stuff to run on.

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

I'm on board with you. It can seem easy to stoop to their level but disinformation tactics are harmful in the long term no matter who is using them.

I'd rather talk about what a peice of shit he is than about something outright false and easily disproven.

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

Nobody is stopping you from doing so.

But remember to enjoy the lulz. I don't think the couch meme in its own hurts the man ... Everyone understands that the Internet goes wild with stuff. It's his policies that make him dodgy as hell, but sometimes we gotta stop and appreciate the spectacle of it all.

Kamalamania is about to run wild on ya, brother!

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

This dude is the guy everyone pretended Bernie was. I still love Bernie and am glad for his politics but Walz has a kind of dad charisma you can't replicate

[-] Jtotheb@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago

??? Maybe Bernie’s supporters cared about his policies more than his lack of dad charisma lmao

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

quality Dem presidential race meme, it was been a while

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Wait, did he actually say all that? 😂

[-] bibliotectress@lemmy.world 72 points 3 months ago

For you and anyone else who missed it:

"And I gotta tell ya; I can't wait to debate this guy," Walz continued, before pausing for dramatic effect. "That's if he's willing to get off the couch and show up. "See what I did there?"

The crowd was roaring. I'm not sure if he really paused for dramatic effect. They wouldn't have heard him if he had said it right away. But either way, it was very funny.

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 months ago

It looked to me like he paused for dramatic effect, and then had to keep paused because the crowd took it as a "cheer moment".

He made a couch joke. It wasn't explicit, though.
