It's Not Like You Can Predict Memes, but...

Here is the original:

Apparently, due to some weird technical glitch, if you tilt the Goldeneye cartridge it'll cause the onscreen NPCs to spaz the hell out.

So then the Nipponese decided to go buck wild with it:




Really though, out of all the ones I've seen so far, this one is the king:


And of course, the inexplicable compilation:

It is not the nature of a meme to be understood, it is only to be followed.

No I'm not going to make one, I have a hard enough time trying to sleep without tears and screaming.

Via horklog, who may be NSFW at times, but manages to entertain me greatly.

Are you sure the meme started with Goldeneye? It looks to me from the follow-ups like it started with that blue anime girl...

It went from funny, to strange, to funny, and back to strange again... not quite sure what to think.

Lindsey said...

a Meme based off of collision errors in whatever 3d program they used?

Brilliant!

Mia said...

@gus: yes it did start with Goldeneye, it was a glitch that resulted in wiggling the cartridge in the system. All the others are parodies.

Please. The word "meme" is used by retard geek wannabes who wouldn't know the first thing about Richard Dawkins, making them sound like dads trying to speak hiphopese to impress their embarrassed children.

Sven said...

swag - this concept is the paragon of a meme. Whether or not someone has read the Selfish Gene, this type of cultural phenomenon is exactly what Dawkins was talking about. What would you call it? A "trend"? A "cultural phenomenon"?
Of course the word meme is a meme too.

Mr. Cat said...

@swag - That may have been so. Thanks to them, however, it's picked up another meaning. omg! Language evolving right before our eyes!

chad said...

@Mr.Cat, it's not even an alternate meaning. As Sven said, internet phenomena like this perfectly fit the definition of "meme" as Dawkins intended it.

Mr. Cat said...

@chad - Well, from what I recall from reading about the concept of a "meme", it's very broad. Saying some word, phrase, song, or video is a "meme" becomes sortof redundant, right? Clearly it's a meme, because it's communicated, right? So that's why I consider the "internet meme" definition to be separate, or at least more specific. (That is, if I recall the meaning of "meme" correctly.)
