right okay your screen and you can't see
me but it is that I know what I look
like I'm so fascinated we'll just jump
right into it and who knows how this is
gonna work that we'll see okay hi I'm
Josh I'm Molly and we may be socially
distanced but that's not gonna stop us
from reviewing some jolly means everyone
under 30 entertains themselves with
memes memes unite us we realized dad you
probably don't know what memes are and
no I don't know what they are and I
don't pass my time on memes I tend to
eat cheese okay we thought today maybe
we'd give you a memes 101 the
introductory lesson two means sounds
great well I don't know whether it's
great or not but we'll see the
dictionary form now of a meme is a
humorous image a video piece of text etc
that is copied and spread rapidly by
Internet users they go viral they do
viral best route layin mutate and evolve
yes I would say though unlike a virus
anyway when you've been exposed to memes
you don't generate immunity to those
memes in fact you're anything you're
more susceptible we're about to give you
a superpower and this superpower enables
you to waste unlimited amounts of time I
reckon let's just get into it by just
which is given it's like playing a board
game
it's so boring reading the instructions
Zachary you just want to stop playing
you know get in the first round you
might not get on the second round but
okay it's still a fun exercise most of
the time all right let's do this
all right so here are some examples of
some legendary memes first up we have
bad luck Brian have you seen that image
before dad no don't think so
so on the left it has what the meme is
useful or an explanation and on the
right it's got an example of this
so for instance
takes driving tests first DUI okay DUI
is driving under the influence the
person making this meme dad
Wow this is excruciating making his name
presumably has taken their driving test
and then they got a DUI while taking the
death yeah okay and I need picture of a
guys but yes let's not give up yet that
second format very famous for - first of
all problems format so if you look on
the right says someone the Internet
disagrees with me it's a very first
world problem most of the text in the
memes is kind of trying to be funny or
serious our casa yeah okay we're asking
that yeah generally there'll be pictures
that people think sum up a certain
emotion or like relatable images that
you can then put a funny quote on and
then you want to share to your friends
or the Morpheus mean this is used for
irrelevant revelations usually so for
instance what if I told you hashtags on
Facebook's do nothing next up one does
not simply this is a Boromir classic
from Lord of the Rings when he says one
does not simply walk into Mordor okay
yeah I'm beginning to guess it's almost
like these images are a sort of more
sophisticated emojis yeah this is just
taking it a step further in oppressing
something through an image all right
next up dad is the philosoraptor if the
number 666 is considered evil is twenty
five point eight zero six nine the root
of all evil
yeah that's legendary success kid have
you heard of the success kid or have you
seen this image before
okay yeah I feel like the success kid is
pervaded multiple generations yeah it
might be like got to Sainsbury's early
this morning and they were still there
all left me yeah who would send this to
the point is if this one is this is a
stock photo or someone found and thought
this is hilarious I need to make this a
meme and if you for instance Google
Image Search distracted boyfriend meme
you will get all of these examples
there's literally millions of ways that
people have made their own distracted
boyfriend memes
yeah okay IIIi do get that okay it has
to be said that the writing does
somewhat obliterate the third girl yeah
at this point everyone knows the meme
format not even really a consideration
another example the exit 12 mean oh yes
have you seen this image before dad oh
man yeah this is actually a meme about
another me yeah Tide Pods do you about
iPods if there's something to do with it
the C type of America they're like
parcel sachets that you put in the
washing machine yeah those are viral
craze where people on the internet were
were eating them or saying that they
were going to eat them and then there
was a lot of kind of panic and then
there are lot of memes about eating Tide
Pods have you ever eaten at iPod or a
personal pod have you ever been tempted
[Music]
it feels like I'm trying to explain the
plot of the matrix to Jesus you know
it's just like yeah and here's the one
yeah one simulation Jesus and now you've
had a bit of groundwork we're taking you
to meme kindergarten yeah
we thought we might introduce you to
some memes that have been made about us
oh really the buildings made about you
yes every day that passes there's a new
meme account on Instagram so the biggest
the biggest account here is called jolly
bean memes and it has almost 19,000
followers as of the making of this video
so 19,000 people who have followed this
account to see pictures like this one
they've taken a picture of Olli and meme
if I did you say that people amuse
themselves with this yes this one was an
episode we filmed together me sat at the
back of a class and I didn't understand
anything well that probably would
Express exactly how I feel on this video
when you send someone a really long
message and they reply with a thumbs up
okay I don't know why I just love dad
reading it is great ok the last one I
really want to show you is called jolly
bean things when you are to break this
season to get your parents against that
instance we were up at Danny's jeans
wrapping present perfectly matched her
dress I can't quite remember why she was
wearing it as a hat worse than a hat so
dad you've been inducted into the world
of memes I'd say you're still probably a
beginner Minster novice but you're not
completely green anymore what do you
think
imagination but maybe out showing him
good enough memes yeah okay what are you
doing to pass the time dad well embrace
or suss a new technology maybe I'll be
embracing leaves the world has changed
yeah yeah people have messaged us before
and we've had in the comments people say
they like the sound of your voice that
it's reassuring is there anything that
you want to say - jolly beans watching
to reassure them in this difficult time
it certainly is challenging times and
they're challenging because we haven't
experienced anything like this the
living memory it will blow over
eventually and we are very well placed
with incredible medical services and
lots of people trying their best and I'm
incredibly encouraged by the way so many
people across society are pulling
together and trying to help others and a
lot of the best of humanity is being
brought out at this time and maybe will
come through this crisis as better
people put that in a meme this video was
going straight alright dad thanks for
that stay safe it's no new jelly beans
want to make some memes of my dad of
memes for my dad send them to us on
Instagram we will tackle these hashtag
he sees them trending
if you have better means for us to
introduce to him next time let us know
what memes you want to see Ollie's that
review and in the meantime we'll see you
jolly see
good job dad thank you thanks your eyes
