Eh, there is a certain discrepancy in quality there, I think. Internet memes are some of the simplest forms of reference humor, and wink wink nudge nudge just isn't funny if the recipient doesn't know what it's all about. And a proper reference, for example, Might & Magic VI referencing Star Trek crew member names in a spaceship-related quest, doesn't look out of place, an unknowing outsider just simply won't get anything out of it, while here, if you don't know what a doge meme is or why it should be funny, it looks like the writer just gave up and let his pet ape finish his work. It's just misplaced. This is why it's the lowest quality humor - because it has no context, it's just somebody in the game saying a meme out of the blue.
Earthworm Jim in its entirety is dated, but it owns that dated-ness, it doesn't look like an ugly brain tumor on the body of a perfectly good game design.
Oh well, those fighting arcades, that surely invalidates all the great game scripts and translations, you showed me.
