- That is too complicated for my little brain,
or my big brain. - Little nasty ass.
And he got his hand up. (laughs) Masturbation.
♪ (upbeat theme music) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we're gonna show you some memes,
and we'll see if you know them. - Oh god. I know I won't.
(laughs) I know this for a fact. I will not know them.
- All right. I did pretty well last time, I think.
So let's try it out again.
- I've been practicing on it a little bit,
so hopefully I'm better this time. - My kids show 'em to me,
or people pass them around every now and then,
but they're probably not current. - I'm gonna not try to overthink.
That's the thing. Don't overthink. Just look at the picture,
let it make sense. - My kids like memes,
and maybe I'll see something they don't know,
and I'll be able to impress them, so I'm looking forward to it.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Here is your first meme.
- Who, whom, whom'st, whomst'd.
(chuckles) I ain't never seen this before.
- It's heady. (chuckles) Sorry, I did not mean to make that pun.
I guess it's about trying to figure out these words properly,
and whom'st is not a word, right? - Who is like a smaller brain level,
and then if you're using whom, you're a little bit smarter.
But I don't think whom'st and whomst'd are words.
- "People who use Facebook." (chuckles) That's me.
The top one's me.
My daughter be like, "Dang Dad, you're old, using Facebook."
- Is there still Myspace? I thought that was gone.
- It's like people who use Facebook, just plain, boring, normal people.
People who use Tumblr, enlightened.
People who use Myspace are whatever. That's where I lose it.
- People who use Facebook are lame and have tiny brains,
and as you use these things, you're super cool.
- "Using your car blinker by signaling by hand
before you change lanes five seconds in advance."
That's a good thing. That's the way to do it.
"Just using your car blinker
two seconds in advance." That's probably me.
- "Signaling after you change lanes."
It takes a special person to signal after you change lanes.
- Oh god! (laughs)
All right, toilet paper the wrong way, obviously.
Toilet paper the right way, and that nasty stuff.
- Last one, he uses his hand. Wow. That's-- wow.
- That's disgusting. The last one, a person's using his hands.
That's nasty. - This one right here
is gonna cause some arguments between me and my wife.
I'm definitely an over-the-top type of toilet paper person.
My wife is a behind-the-back type of person,
and I think my three-year-old's a use-your-hand type of kid.
- (FBE) So have you seen this meme before?
- Have never seen this meme before. - I've not seen any of these.
- I have not, no. - I've seen the style of them.
Yeah, yeah, of course. - (FBE) So this meme
is sometimes called "Expanding Brain."
- Expanding brain? I never would've got that.
- I don't think the people who are making these--
I don't think their brains are expanding very much.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Here is your next meme. - Oh yeah, this is the guy
checking out the girl that he can't have.
I've seen some pretty good ones. - He needs to get punched
looking at her like that. - Okay, I've seen this one,
but I don't know anything more about it.
- This is hilarious right here.
The capitalism and the socialism. (laughs)
- I haven't seen it used in sort of a social issue way.
I just saw it with a whole lot of cheating on your girlfriend ways.
- That's really good, 'cause they don't want us
to like socialism, right? - Me, people, dogs. (chuckles)
That one's pretty good. All right, I'm a dog person,
so yeah, I get that. - I think it's funny
that the girls look exactly alike.
That's what's interesting to me about this one.
- (laughs) That is too complicated for my little brain,
or my big brain. - He's looking at the previous meme,
and now he's looking at the new meme, I guess,
is what it is, right? - It's like the expanding brain
is what we just did, and now we're looking--
and he's over that meme. He's already seen it, done it,
and now he's looking forward to the next meme.
- (FBE) Have you seen this before? - I haven't.
- I have not seen not one of these memes.
- I've seen it before. - Yes, yes.
- Yeah, I've seen that one before. I do not know the name.
I'm assuming grass is greener type of thing. I don't know.
- (FBE) So this meme is sometimes called "Distracted Boyfriend."
- Mm. Yeah. That happens.
- That's appropriate. Yeah, I like that.
- That holds true. I like that meme a lot.
I mean, you can use it for a lot of different things.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- So it's a video game meme, and they're comparing noise levels?
- So I'm seeing you're going to play this game,
and the opening theme is so loud,
much louder than the rest of the game.
- I can't wait to see how they use this.
- Decibel range. "Threshold of human hearing, breathing,"
blah, blah, blah. Italian conversation, yeah.
- I am Italian, so it is true. I thought yelling was normal
till I left my family's home and realized it's not.
- Followed by Italian conversation
(chuckles) as we would do it in our house.
- "Dropping a spoon in the middle of the night."
That is loud, though, especially when it's all quiet in the house,
and you just drop it, and it echoes and all that.
- Yes, when you trying to sneak some ice cream
out of the freezer, exactly.
- It's loud. You don't wanna wake up your family.
But there's nothing wrong with some Ben and Jerry's at midnight.
- I'm a hard sleeper, so I probably wouldn't hear the spoon.
I'd be like, "W-what?" - Rustling leaves
all the way up to a (laughs)
shampoo bottle falling off the ledge in the shower at 9,000.
See, these people do decibels at the level I think they are.
- It's true. It's the echo, I think, of the shower
that makes it sound like a bomb blast.
- (FBE) So have you seen this one before?
- I haven't, but I love them. - I have not, no.
- I have not seen that meme at all. - I've seen it before, yeah.
Decibel levels would be my guess at what it's called.
- (FBE) So this one is sometimes called decibel or noise level chart.
- All right. I like that one.
- You totally get the comparisons, you know, with the loud noise,
quiet noises. - It's not funny,
but it's interesting and smart.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- Okay, so I know this is Incredibles,
but I don't know the context of it.
- So this is the base of the meme, and now we're gonna see
all kinds of cool things. Yes, that's Incredibles,
and that's the dad, right?
- "When you're running late for work..." (laughs)
"...but someone asks if you want to check out
their Bionicle collection."
- I don't know what a Bionicle collection is.
- I don't even know what Bionicles are,
so I can't really say I got this one.
It's a toy, I think?
- "When you're in the final boss battle,
and you have homework due in the morning."
Exactly. Yeah, I got time. Exactly.
- Yeah, I got time to procrastinate or put off what I should be doing.
- Homework, not so much. Work in the morning? Yeah.
I've been through that before myself.
- "When you're making Incredibles 2, but Disney asks if you want
to make two Cars sequels..." Mistake.
"...a Finding Nemo sequel, and a Monsters prequel."
(chuckles) Yeah, I've got time. - They're like, yo,
forget that Incredibles 2, let's go make these others ones.
- He got time for it. He could do all of 'em,
make some money, yeah. Why not?
- Does that mean they haven't made that Incredibles 2 yet?
- (FBE) Yeah. - Jesus, get on it, boys.
- (FBE) Have you seen this meme before?
- I have not. - No, I have never seen this.
- I have not seen it, but I really like that meme. (laughs)
- (FBE) This one is sometimes called "Yeah, I've Got Time."
- I can relate to that.
- I can see myself using it. (laughs)

- "He protec, but he's also attac"?
I don't... What is he doing?
That's nasty. Why is he playing with that?
- Why is this a meme? (chuckles) Why is this an anything?
- I'm assuming the last letter is not there for a specific reason.
- Can't wait to see where this one's going.
- "He protec, he attack, but most importantly, he snac."
That's adorable. - Oh, it's Pokemon.
Okay, I wasn't sure if it was an anime movie.
I didn't realize until I saw Ash Ketchum at the bottom.
- I'm a little old for Pokemon necessarily.
I think I was in eighth grade when Pokemon came out,
but I can respect a Snorlax for sure.
- "He protec, he attac, he"-- aww.
"He bacc on tracc." Aww, that's sweet.
- Aww, he's clean now? That's good. Okay.
- "He proteq, but he also attaq, but most importantly, he Shaq."
(chuckles) - "He Shaq." I saw that one coming.
That's good. - "He Shaq." (chuckles) Okay.
- Everyone has to love Shaq.
I mean, how can you not love that face?
- (FBE) So, have you seen all these memes before?
- I have not seen that one at all. - I have not.
It's pretty good, though. I like it.
- I've seen one or two of them in this style,
but I don't think I've seen any of these ones.
- So this one is sometimes called "He protec, but he also attac."
- I think I'd call this "He Shaq." (chuckles)
- I want more. Do you have more?
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- Yeah, I know that's Taylor Swift. Reputation.
- Hello T-Swizzle and her latest album cover, Reputation.
- That's pretty good. He does do a lot of narration.
I do like that one. - "Narration." (laughs)
He always narrating something.
- He's got the voice everyone wishes they had.
I definitely wish I had that deep, soulful voice.
- Mastur-- (laughs). George. - They had the whole thing
on Seinfeld where everybody had to not do it.
- It's from the show, from-- now I'm remembering that episode.
- Little nasty ass. And he got his hand up.
(laughs) Masturbation. - Donald Trump.
(imitates Trump) "I'm, like, really a smart person, okay?"
'Cause that's how he would say it.
- I think it's always sad when you have to tell people
that you're really smart and try to convince them,
because then you probably aren't.
- I kind of saw this one coming. I was thinking there would be
more Russia involved in the headline.
- (FBE) So have you seen it before? - Never seen it.
- No. I've never seen it. - No, not at all.
- (FBE) Taylor Swift's new album and songs have inspired
a lot of memes, and meme-ing her album cover is one of them.
- I like the album cover. I think it's creative.
And I think she probably appreciates--
it's free press for her album cover
with all these memes. - Got it.
That one's gonna go a long way, I take it.
- I generally think they're pretty funny and clever,
and I need to laugh usually. I like 'em.
