Lord, I actually googled that to see if it was real. These are the times in which we live.

And? Don't leave us hanging!

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not real, the original creator of the image took a still of the show and added the closed captioning.

Yeah, see the original was actually an old tucker segment accusing liberals of making spiders less sexy.

My uncle is worried that us vaccinated people are going to spread something to him. Like something about the vaccine makes you dangerous.

I don’t know I don’t even care to be honest.

[–] LemmynySnicket@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The vaccine spreads our liberal spider attraction. It makes spiders look all spider in their spider way. I mean spiders spider so spiders, you spider? Spider spider spider.

[–] CM400@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I see your point, but I don’t fully spider where you’re getting your spider spider.

Finally, something the liberals and I can agree on.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just saying: the use of even sexier would imply that spiders are already sexy lol

Come on baby, shake that web weaver!

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Finding spiders sexy: That's fine. Wanting spiders to be more sexy: YOU SLUT

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Get that "useless nobody" shit outta here.

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, if you don't like that, then the op should post the image and caption without the fan fiction about your uncle too. I'm not sure the meme format is adding anything to the picture and half a meme format isn't adding half as much when it was already adding nothing.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

... if it had a big red circle on Lumpy's dumb face, would you insist that removing it would break the image?

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (18 children)

A meme is greater than the sum of its parts. If we don't like the delivery mechanism the meme provides then I don't see why we would pick and choose parts of the meme. If we remove the hypothetical big red circle, the meme is a different greater whole. Possibly a different flavor of the same meme, but possibly a different meme entirely.

For me personally, the meme seems to be evoking the image of a family Christmas dinner, whose awkward silence is broken by your Uncle. It's an interesting delivery mechanism for the image of Hannity with the caption. As I already said, I'm not sure all of this scene building really does anything to add to an already absurd image. If anything I was inclined to believe that it was purely a parody, instead of a thing he actually said, until I read a comment that explained they googled it and he did actually say it.

I wouldn't say removing the big red circle breaks the image, but I would say that if you're going to the trouble of removing the big red circle why not grab the even larger clown hair why you're at it. edit: typos

edit: Looks like it was a fake according to Reuters.

Remember when they were bitching that liberals wanted to make M&M's less sexy?

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 1 year ago

this screenshot is fake but yes

[–] lemmington_steele@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well yeah, there's only so much sexy to go around. how else do you propose we save some for spiders?

[–] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I don't think Timberlake is using his anymore, maybe you can pick it up at his garage sale

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

Look, all I'm saying is that if we have to have spiders, why not make them sexy??

[–] trslim@pawb.social 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have copious amounts of Angel Dust on my phone. I blame the liberals.

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's great, but I'm biased because I'm a sucker for good film music and in-character singing. Here's a link for anybody interested :3

Hey hey we're the liberals,

And people say we liberal around,

But we're too busy singin' upholding human rights

To put anybody down

🔊 🎸🎵🎶🎼

Yea fuck liberals in the political sense outside of america (since they basicalky use it to say leftist). Liberalism is capitalism. Anarcho communism is where it's at

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

Would smash Arachne, if she were DTF.

Between myths of Arachne and Medusa, Athena seems to be a bitch and not very wise at all. I suspect there's actually some context going on.

Though in Medusa's case, she was a gorgon before her human origin during the New 52s, and the Gorgoneion that adorns Aegis predates the whole Perseus thing. (Gorgoneions were a ward against evil from times immemorial before the oceans drank Atlantis and Poseidon was the all-father dude).
