LOLcats isn’t funny anymore
I know I should be writing about politics or philosophy or something, but I haven’t really been up to it lately, what with school and all. So, rather than a moderately intelligent post about a serious topic, you get my random rant about why cat image macros are no longer funny.
Seriously. What is this, 2005? It was funny for a while, back when Caturday was new on 4chan. Now everyone knows about it, and the overall image quality is steadily going downhill.
Sure, a new funny one comes out once in a while, most likely from the twisted minds of 4chan’s /b/, but literally hundreds show up on stumbleupon that are just awful.
Here’s a rule: if you just found out about the whole cat image macro trend a few days ago, you’re probably going to make a crappy image. It isn’t going to be funny and clever. It’s just going to be lame.

I’ve found quite a few funny lolcats, but yeah, when you have ten-year-olds and 30-year-old men living in their parents’ basements making them, the overall quality does seem to go down.
I figured that if they don’t at least make me SMILE (let alone “lol”), they’re probably not that funny.

Nah, there’s some humor in them left
I rarely find lolcats that are funny.
And 4chan should really start a new meme…Then people will catch on, it’ll grow big, and the new trend will be funny for another short time frame while we’re giving up on lolcats.
“lolcats” is just a stupid wanna-be website. the real thing started with caturday. if you want real lulz goto /b/.
New meme? Suggestions:
locatcrap and smelly pictures. It’s only a tiny step down the ladder, in terms of sophistication. Possible URL: ihasastinkyturd.com
I like cats much more than I like people. They are a lot smarter, smell better, and love you unconditionally. I will look at pictures of them any time. As for Rod, I hope he was being sarcastic. I would hate to think anyone is actually that stupid. I saw a picture of a small grey kitten a few days ago, with his mouth open and small white kittens who had red eyes in the background of the picture. The caption was “Halp! Zombilies!” For some reason, I didn’t save it and have been looking for it ever since. Can anyone help me find it?
