Can anybody help me understand this? I can't make it be 196 or anything. I'm at a loss.

Thought it was a 196 joke at first and now I'm just irritated.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How though? I'm really not getting it

Loss is the new Rickroll.

I don't know if this is referencing Loss or Full House...

:O

Lamenting the loss of Full House? 🤔 You must really like that show.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Can anyone explain to me why Loss became so popular? I never saw it until I joined Lemmy and I've seen a couple dozen posts based on it.

It's like a comedy cemetery type of meme

[–] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 13 points 11 months ago

At this point it's an internet inside joke, and like any niche inside joke, there's a bit of a rush when you recognize it, that you're in on something special. In the beginning it was mostly just mocking the absurd sudden tone shift in the original Ctrl+Alt+Del comic but like a lot of memes it seems to have evolved and now the fun is creating and finding the loss pattern in unique and different ways.

I like it, it's fun

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I am almost certain the only reason it ever blew up was because it's a pretty strong comic, alone, but the fact it can be represented by just a few lines such that nearly any 4 images can become a reference to the comic makes it highly memeable.

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

It also became memeable and noteworthy because it's it's drastically off tone for the comic strip it came from. Generally a light hearted series and then BAM, have something that in context is utterly brutal.

Nowadays it's so divorced from it's context that it's essentially just a meme.

Google en passant

And all will be revealed.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

That's a chess move. Are you stupid? Go back to asulme.

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

There are no words.
