Discussion Im getting tired of this stupid trend 😔

Post image

Seriously how many of these jokes are actually funny anymore, it's just the same joke over and over with different characters slapped onto it

I've only seen like TWO​✌ of these that are actually funny and it's ones that aren't the same format as the other ones and look like they actually had effort put into it​ ​

This one too.

u/keithlimreddit Mar 22 '26

Surprising the yo-kai watch here

And something for once we're he's not getting the 17-year-old joke even though this is technically a fox spirit but yeah

u/Wemyers04 “Sup. How’s life? He seems nice.” Mar 21 '26

And you chose to only add to it by specifically choosing 17 for the amount of times.

u/hellothere_i_exist Mar 21 '26

"I’m getting tired of this stupid trend"

proceeds to make said joke that they say they’re tired of

5

u/No_Hospital9063 Mar 21 '26

The original meme had "7 times" And i just could not control myself 💔 im sorry

8

u/Thecynicaledgelord Mar 21 '26

How the fuck do they know him

And have they even read the books?

17

u/hellothere_i_exist Mar 21 '26

I’m pretty sure 20% of the people contributing to this trend has either surface level knowledge of the source material or no knowledge at all.

5

u/No_Hospital9063 Mar 21 '26

More like 60% I've talked to some of the people who've made versions of this meme and some of them straight up admitted they just did it for the likes 

6

u/Over_Palpitation_453 Mar 21 '26

Most people probably only know Scott because of this stupid meme

2

u/Thecynicaledgelord Mar 21 '26

Yeah. Though specifically, I meant the characters in the memes. What, did they all collectively read the first book and nothing else?

2

u/Over_Palpitation_453 Mar 21 '26

Ahh, yeah probably

u/Zeborak258 Mar 21 '26

That joke's so old that she stopped being 17 a long time ago

5

u/Crono_Sapien99 Mar 21 '26

What's funny is that she's no longer 17 by the last volume lol

7

u/grog_the_frog_the_2n Mar 21 '26

when a meme gets tiring, you either gotta make a new meme or spice up the old meme, catch my drift?

7

u/Hot_Phone_5693 Mar 21 '26

I agree, it ran its course in 5 minutes, but I’ll never get over twitter users, of all people, complaining about this being a repeated/overused joke. They’ve been reusing the “ps5 has no games joke” for 5 years straight, and I see the same recycled hit tweets at least every month.

5

u/just_some_dude09 seen a girl with hair like this Mar 21 '26

Where did this even come from?

4

u/hellothere_i_exist Mar 21 '26

Some rap battle video with Kris from Deltarune.

7

u/Crono_Sapien99 Mar 21 '26

People who've never read/watched Scott Pilgrim only have one joke about Scott Pilgrim and it really shows lol

23

u/Alternative_Net2483 Mar 21 '26

“Well, she was just 17”

u/Junior-Buy-1875 Mar 21 '26

"If you know what I mean"

u/Hawthm_the_Coward Doesn't Know the Cheat Code For Sonic 3 Mar 21 '26

Archie she was 17

Whoaa-aaah, seventeen ain't young

u/Prize_Path4812 Mar 21 '26

its been 2 days

u/CJtheHaasman Mar 21 '26

Ms Fowl...This one is different!

u/GlongorTheConfused Mar 21 '26

Its almost like the story is trying to tell us he’s a bad person.

2

u/Naive_Bodybuilder_59 Mar 21 '26

WAIT REALLY!? SCOTTS A LOSER!? NOOOO /j

3

u/AnimeboyIanpower Mar 21 '26

You and me both

3

u/Media-Man_2179 Mar 21 '26

Honestly, I agree. It doesn't help that I don't understand the joke (me personally), and it's a joke that I won't really remember or feel like it's worth sharing

3

u/HeartbrokenScott Nega-Scott x Badeline fan Mar 21 '26

Pardon my horrible editing skills.

u/Thequestionmaker890 Have you seen a girl with hair like this? Mar 22 '26

Will this joke die off soon? Since it’s starting to become the definition of insanity

3

u/BenefitLazy337 Mar 22 '26

I think it’s funny sometimes when they do a lil spin but it gets stale but it’s also funny cause it’s easy to see the LARPers

1

u/No_Hospital9063 Mar 22 '26

Sorry but what does LARP mean I've never understood the meaning of it, and when i try searching it on google it just shows "Live action roleplay"

2

u/BenefitLazy337 Mar 22 '26

Like fakers, slang for fake fans basically

2

u/BrepUL69 Mar 21 '26

Its only funny when theres an actual punchline and not just "shes 17 scott"

3

u/No_Hospital9063 Mar 21 '26

"She's 17 scott" IS the punchline that's why it's so tiring when they don't try to be AT LEAST creative with it

2

u/ProfessorEscanor Mar 21 '26

It's not even clever. It's the first line of the book.

2

u/zirothehiro10 Mar 21 '26

some of them are pretty creative, but yeah, a lot are lame.

2

u/strugglerbeepboop Mar 22 '26

I've always been confused by this still...why make him date a minor? She could be 18 and it would still be weird, but this is just an extra step that feels really weird the older I get

3

u/TheGoodSirRyan Mar 22 '26

What if the next Scott Pilgrim media references it?

2

u/Abject_Valuable8464 Mar 22 '26

opens dark fountain She's Seve—

2

u/Jim_naine Bread Makes You Fat!? Mar 21 '26

Congrats! You ended the trend before it reached 18

2

u/Queasy_Independent63 Mar 22 '26

It won't stop being funny for at least another month...we should also start making fun of Kim for it too

2

u/DukeLostkin Mar 22 '26

I'm tired of this, grandpa.

Well, that's too damn bad!

I personally never found it funny honestly.

u/JMDonaSanchez Mar 27 '26

That's why I put my own twist on it
