What is GAF's worst joke/meme

What is GAF's worst joke/meme?


Results are only viewable after voting.
The fat football player that's posted whenever someone talks about fast food.

There's not even a joke there. It's the worst.
 
User A posts an opinion, user B posts an opinion that happens to be the opposite of user A. User C posts that neogaf.gif

I voted for Kale Breckin, but I'd like to change my vote to this one.

Like, it's impossible that two people on a discussion forum would have divergent opinions. Simply inconceivable!
 
Thor 2: The Dark World is fantastic because it automatically eliminates people who didn't really have an opinion in polls.

'This is NeoGAF' is the worst because no shit that people have different opinions.


Arguably the best. Slapping Brazzers on any image simply makes it better.
 
I chuckle whenever I see Kale Breckin come up. What make this funny is that I know there is a real person with this name.

The Italian meal was never funny when in the original thread.
 
the one I hate the most, I'm not sure originated on gaf. it's the "why not both" gif. it means nothing. it's cheerfully insipid. nuke it
 
The constant lazy references to old threads shoe horned in at every opportunity. Italian meal, how far gaming has come, green lines, etc.

Also quoting two opposing opinions with just "NeoGAF" or "NeoGAF.gif". Different posters have different opinions, shocking news.

But the worst of all (and this isn't specific to GAF) is pretending to care about whether or not people like pineapple on their pizza (sorry Gafia)
 
So ITT I've learnt that GAF's worst jokes and memes are all of them, got it.

Usually what happens when a joke gets run into the ground.

Its like people want to convince others they're a true OG gaffer so they have to make references (speaking of, the captain america I understood that reference can also be added to this list) to unfunny shit, and then others pretend to laugh cuz they don't want to seem like they're not a real gaffer

Remember that Bow Wow challenge? You had people posting the $30 Italian meal pic. Absolutely nothing to do with the challenge but lol I'm a gaffer look at dis funny meme
 
When, instead of posting a gif, people post the name of it instead. Most commonly used one is Iunderstoodthatreference.gif. I am guilty of this as well, but have seen the error of my ways.

I also really fucking hate it when people post threads that begin with: GAF, We Need to Talk About _________

Not really a meme, but so bloody annoying all the same.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so why waste all those words to say something you can say in 3 words. Brevity IS the soul of wit, after all.

In this case, brevity is the soul of bell-endery.
 
Guess it died by itself since I haven't seen it posted for a while but the fucking endless trash gif was garbage. There was some annoying poster who was seemingly dedicated to posting that shit incessantly too.

I think it mostly died from people realizing that redlettermedia is trash and by posting it they where showing they ain't shit.
Red letter media isn't trash. They're hack frauds. Big difference.
 
I look at it like this: I think we can all agree that "the cake is a lie" makes us all feel uncomfortable and mildly embarrassed for the person who said it, right? You know, that "I love my hobby SO MUCH you all have to know this funny joke the GAMERS say!" sorta thing (just like being embarrassed for people over enthusiastic over really anything).

Well, this is it. This is "I'm so over enthusiastic about what a user on a message forum said that I must let everyone know what these funny GAFFERS say!"

Don't do this to yourselves people, the eye rolls are so strong they nearly get stuck in the back of my skull. Let it go, it's not funny. Right up there with the green line thing.

You take that back. The thread was legendary, and the GIF rarely got overused.


Samuel L Jackson ban gifs. Ban gifs in general are crap, but the fact the forum has/had its own special blend themed after a person because of their avatar is an internet crime.


Italian Meal is the one and only truly good GAF meme.

Well given that Bish is gone, I haven't seen many of the banned.gif stuff floating around anymore, so it seems like you got your wish already.

As for me, my only complaint with a lot of GAF's memes and memes in general is they get overused, so in that realm thisisneogaf.gif and some of the response GIFs get my vote.
 
there are some memes that start good, get bad, and then they die and is not funny

but then there are some memes that start good, get bad, and then get so overused it becomes ironically funny again
 
I've always hated the italian meal. Somebody who admits to being in a bad situation posts something happy and everybody can't help but fall over themselves laughing at him for a decade.

Other jokes are overused but none seem so mean spirited and directed at a member here.
 
Thor 2

12 inch penis

Banderas

30$ Italian meal

Kale Breckin

Show her how far gaming has become since Super Mario World

Boom.


From the top of my head. Tbh almost all of them are terrible. Only funny one I can remember is Scorpio and maybe the toast sandwich

All of these with "first post right again"/"worst first post".
Also I'm pretty sure the "Platinum should make an X series game" is a meme

Green is noise is pretty awesome.

The rest can burn though.
 
How about the Banderas gif? Or "expert on _____ culture"? Though I voted for Thor 2, that might be a result of recentism and meme burnout.

Edit: Yes, I'm 100% aware that you could make a case that those two examples should be on a "best of" list.
 
People pay this guy for his predictions?

Why don't people pay ME for MY hot takes????
Eh not in that sense. He gets paid for advice so that includes making an analysis on the industry and where it might go. So predictions are certainly a part of it, but just saying, "people pay him for predictions" is a little disingenuous
 
Thor 2 very VERY much in the lead
