- I don't even know how to respond to this nonsense.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we're gonna show you some memes,
and we're gonna see if you know 'em.
- Ooh, all right. I like this.
- Ooh, okay. I might be good at this.
- Yes! I'm always so good at guessing these,
because I kind of rock.
- I'll probably know a little bit of 'em.
I probably won't know 'em all, you know, 'cause they coming out
with memes all the time. - I never know any memes,
and then I try to make a guess,
and it's usually very far off.
- There's some thought put into some of them.
I mean, some of them are just... dumb.
- I doubt I'm gonna know them. We'll see what happens, though.
Bring it on.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) So here's your first meme.
- "You can't be broke if you don't check your bank account."
(chuckles)
All right. I got it, I got it.
People don't like looking at that balance.
- Actually, you can when you try to use the ATM card
or your debit card, you sure can.
- It's so true, actually. Remind me not to check my bank account.
- "Your dreams can't be destroyed if you don't have any." (laughs)
Yeah, that's true. Very true.
- It's kind of pathetic and sad, but that makes it funny.
- Wow. That's loser mentality right there, man.
- "Can't sleep through your alarm,
if you stay up all night looking at memes."
Ah, my kids, staying up all night
looking at memes, let me tell you.
- That's when they tie it back into the meme,
and I always think that's creative and funny.
- "Can't get fired if you don't have a job." (chuckles)
That's a good one, too.
- What person is sitting around doing this?
- It's like an always thinking meme, but obviously sarcastically.
- (FBE) Have you see this one before?
- I haven't. - I have not seen this meme before.
- I have, yes. - I have seen this.
- I've seen the finger on the head.
- (FBE) So this meme is sometimes called "Roll Safe."
- (chuckles) Yup. That makes sense. Rolling safe, that's right.
- No expectations meaning no disappointment.
That's kind of a cool way to be.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- "Just be yourself." "First of all,
I don't even know who I am." Oh, that's hilarious.
It's very existential.
- I think it's a lame attempt at being philosophical.
- I don't think you can be yourself until you're 60.
I don't think you figure it out until then.
- That's a philosophical meme, so I'm excited to see
how this rolls out.
- "Wow, Kenny G still plays music?" "First of all, you're never too old
for sax." That's true. You ain't never too old for the sax.
- See what they did there?
It's a little double entendre for ya.
- This would be perfect for my wife, because she loves Kenny G,
plays it every Christmas. I hate that CD.
I keep hiding it, and she keeps finding it.
- "Are you still watching?" "First of all,
I'll tell you when I've had enough."
That is judgmental Netflix, because I've been there.
- I usually see the "Are you still watching?"
when I wake up at 3:45 AM.
- I'm probably the only one in LA that still has freaking cable, man.
I'm canceling it today matter of fact. (chuckles)
- "UNO." "First of all, bitch,
draw two, skip you, reverse, reverse,
uno, draw four, uno out." That's the way you play.
Save all those special cards for the end.
- That is a very succinct description of the game.
- Any kids out there even know what that game is? Nope!
- (FBE) Have you seen this meme before?
- I have not. - I haven't.
- I haven't, no. - Never seen that before.
- (FBE) This meme is sometimes called "First of All."
- Ah. (laughs) Ooh, that makes sense.
Everyone said "First of all..."
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (gasps) Oh my god. This is my son's profile photo.
- It looks like he might gotta poop or something.
He like (grunts). - The stock photo guy
just looks so worried.
- He looks a little like, "Oh, no." (laughs)
That's what it's gonna be.
- "When you have to complete a group project,
but you're the only one working on it." (laughs)
- The sadness in the eyes with the happy smile,
(whispers) it's just classic.
- "When all your friends are talking about all the jobs
they applied for online, and you just finished a survey
to find out what type of bread you are."
- The face. Every single stock photo of this guy.
- His face looks like he's constipated actually.
- When you're texting with somebody, and they decide to call you.
Yes. Well... yeah. You're not really in the mood to talk.
And you can't not answer the phone, because you're texting with them.
- That one, I do like, 'cause I hate it
when people call me. (chuckles)
- "I wanna talk on the phone." I'm like, "Nobody talking
on the phone no more!"
- I'm somebody who grew up on the phone,
but when that happens, I'm still like, "Ahh!"
- That is so today. It's crazy.
- (FBE) So have you seen this before?
- I have not seen that one at all.
- No, I haven't seen that one before.
- I have, yes. - Yes, definitely.
"Hide the Pain Harold" is big in my house.
- (FBE) So this meme is sometimes called
"Hide the Pain Harold." Harold is a nickname
given to a stock photography model who looks like he is
suppressing some inner pain. - (laughs) That's what I said, man.
Looks like he's taking a very painful dump right there.
- It's those sad eyes. Something's going on in there.
Who hurt you, Harold?
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- "Yeah, sex is cool, but have you ever ignored
all your responsibilities and gone to bed?"
(laughs) That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
- I have, but after sex or before sex?
- That's what you do when you ignore your responsibilities
is you go to bed and have se--
who the hell are you guys sleeping with?!
What's the matter with you? - "Yeah, having sex
is cool, I guess, but have you ever refilled the Brita pitcher
and put it back in the fridge so that someone living
in the apartment other than yourself
can enjoy a nice glass of cold, filtered water?"
Ah, that's funny.
- There's some deep satisfaction in that. There's a little bit
of pat yourself on the back for that one.
- I totally am missing this particular one.
- "Yeah, sex is cool, but have you ever sat
in complete silence with someone and felt comfortable?"
Ah, yes. That's nice. I like that.
- Yeah, right after sex.
- Yes, I have. I wouldn't choose that over, though.
What is wrong with these people?
- "Yeah, sex is cool, but have you ever
stepped on a crunchy leaf?" Ha, ha!
No, that was stupid. - That is so true.
I might take crunchy leaf over sex any day.
- This one's too deep for me. - I don't even know
how to respond to this nonsense.
- (FBE) So have you seen this one before?
- No! - Nope.
- I haven't, but I dig it, though.
- (FBE) So in this meme, you say things jokingly
or it could be honestly that you think is better than sex.
- Man, none of this stuff is better than sex.
- Yeah, memes are cool, but have you ever had sex?

but I'd go down there if I could for tacos.
- I'd be, like, baseball slide straight down there.
- I mean, they'd have to be some really good tacos, I guess.
But then, who would want to eat the tacos down there?
- "I can make your student loans disappear."
Oh my god, for real. That is life.
I'd be like, "Kid, get in the gutter."
- Yes, you couldn't get people in there fast enough.
- "I have your Hogwarts letter."
That's so sad. I'm waiting for mine still.
- Wasn't that just the dream when you're reading those books,
to just get that letter, to have an owl come
and swoop in and drop that on you?
I would even sacrifice jumping into the gutter with It
for a Hogwarts letter.
- "Hey, I have pictures of me and my friends
at Coachella. Wanna see?" Okay, that's hilarious

but it's fantastic. - No, I haven't seen this one.

these specific ones, but yeah, I've seen this one before.

and shows what people would get in the sewer
with Pennywise for. - I don't even wanna admit
what I'd get in the sewer with Pennywise for.
- You could definitely, you know, make a bunch of memes
off of that, you know. I think it's pretty clever.
- When they're done in fun, it's a really funny way
to point out the absurdities of society.
And with our big global society, it seems like there are
so many absurdities, and it's just kind of
a fun, silly way to point it out
and share 'em with each other.
