Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching
I'm your host the report of the week and thank you for checking out my newest video. I think the title says it all
What I feel about being a meme
You know, it's a kind of it's a funny thing to actually say except really. I mean, I know I am one
I've never really thought of myself as being one, you know, I'm just me
Me get the joke. That one was terrible. Let's forget that ever happened
But you know, usually I don't really think of myself as as one even though I know that I am
I know I have the things about me online and all that stuff and
I mean, what are my thoughts because at first I
Mean I the first memes I ever saw made of me were in very early
2013 and even then I couldn't get over it. I thought to myself like this is the craziest thing ever. I couldn't believe it
I mean I was like I couldn't wrap my head around it, you know and when it comes down to memes, of course
There's so many derivatives of them. There's so many different types. It's it is amazing how they've evolved over the years
You know that there's there's so many now, like it's not just these little reaction images or stuff
Of course, that's still a thing
but I mean
It's just it's gotten so developed with time and it's it's kind of crazy to really look at so I'm just gonna share my thoughts
we're gonna take a look at a few of them and
Hope you enjoy the video
So first, let's take a look at some of the more lighthearted memes that have been made out of me and my channel
Oh boy, we're not we're not pulling any punches here. We're just going right in what has been seen
Cannot be unseen
And I think that's the truth right there. I mean you see right in the in the reflection there in that picture
You see that lampshade that is incredible. No way
There is no unseeing that
After you've seen it the first time so that is I mean that is right there that is right out there. I
Know that feel absolutely I've been there many times before where I'm trying to type something off
But I'm trying to you know in all caps, whatever
I'm going on in all caps rant and
What do you know habit gets the best may hold shift and all of a sudden my body
Swells up my suit does too
My head stays the same size and I kind of just retreat inside my my ginormous shirt collar
So yes
it happens many many times all these are very realistic and other things that I think at least I can relate to
You can relate to and I think that's just one other reason why they may be shared around because I think they're relatable
You know, you saw that last one that is something that has happened to every last one of us
Sometimes it even happens to me on a daily basis
And then this is like a comic book type of deal Oh
Mine was Bruce Willis
Mine was Britney Spears
How about you who was your first crush?
Yeah that one
Well, there you have it I mean that one kind of just tells tells its own story
I don't really have much to say about that one. I
So some of these may be... they just get me that's all
We be careful who you call ugly middle school I
Don't know why some of these just get me I guess
Some of these I think it's just so silly, right?
And it's like why and some of them I just looked at I can't I cannot get over them
But someone actually took this picture and went ahead and did this
I like this what I remember I was at the Philadelphia Museum of Art when they they took this
And the fact that they did that with my legs like I can't get over that
Okay, I can't get over these some of these are just too good and this one I've been compared to a lot and
this goes back actually to the
1920s and you can even you can read about this one where it's kind of said this is like one of the first
memes in a sense that's relatable today and
My flashlight they mean of course, it's an image with the there's the picture
How you think you look when a flashlight is taken how you really look and of course, that's me on the left right there
Them I think are really deep, you know what I mean?
Some of them are just they hit you not just in regards to being
Comedic or in regards to being something that you can relate to you know that yeah, I understand what it's getting at
But it hits you deep inside almost almost an existential
Well, it's really deep it gets in there just into those deep recesses of your mind
I think this is a perfect example take a look. I
Could be your angle
or yuor devil and
You can see there. I am on the left and this gleeful
joy, and
on the right I
Don't think that's something that you ever
ever want to see ever
It just hits you, you know, it just hits you it resonates and take a look at it once more as
You see this image?
the only thing that comes to mind when I see it, I
Feel fear and it makes me wonder where exactly did I come from?
No, of course this one is I think one of the most well known once if not
I would even go as far as to argue
the most well-known
Meme that has been done of me and of the really the channel, I think this is the biggest one by far
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined and that was true disappointment right there
I remember I was trying out the it was like some shrimp from Popeyes and I was so I was so freakin
disappointed because I was sitting there and
The last time that I had ever tried these shrimp was in 2015 and they were delicious, I mean they were really really good
They were one of those items that every time I tried it easily got a nine out of ten a nine point something to attend
because it was just that good and
They brought him back. I was excited. Look. I was really looking forward to them
I was thinking alright, this is gonna be another home run. It's gonna be good
because it's it's just it was something that I really looked forward to and
Were terrible I mean they were disgustingly awful
So I was I was legitimately
in a way destroyed because this is such a good item that they just ruined I
Was so disappointed and of course though people took the caption and they they use it as a very common reaction image
For the most part self explanatory because it's really, you know, don't you express your disappointment?
It's one of those things
You can truly relate to
like when you're deal there cancels on you last minute that happened to me last night when I was out of the casinos and
just like this one when you carry your pet into your room and
It just walks out
Yeah the other day I was carrying my pet slinky into my room
And it just hopped out went down the stairs and that was it and I felt the very same way so I could understand
And then you have a few others as well
Like this one here take a look
OMG
Prince Harry is so cute
with the
Hearts, you know
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah the Burger King
I'm sorry that happened to you though. I really am
You know there have been times when my hair has gotten moist too like the other day. I was out there
I was outside the humidity was just very very high
I didn't have any product in my hair actually had it dried out
I was trying out a different style all of a sudden though
It got moist and it is a terrible feeling so I absolutely know where you are coming from there
I think it's absolutely awful that poor Prince how he did that to you?
And then of course who can't forget this this classic one
What do you mean this isn't the only meat I'll be eating
I
Was I was trying to sit there I was trying to figure out a way to even responds to that one
and I don't know if I can I mean some of these just
The innuendos man. There's something else like I never would have thought this was from my
when I was out there at
In-n-out burger. This is when I was I have in Los Angeles. I
Never in a million years
would have thought that someone would have taken a
Screencap of me sitting there in the car reviewing this burger and would have put the fake taxi thing over that I mean
The facial expression does it though I'd be that just that is
It's the cherry on top right there. So those are a few examples of some of the more lighthearted
Memes I think that you can yeah, you could find out there better about me about the channel and all that stuff
Now, look let's get serious for a minute when it comes down to memes and all of this stuff
one thing that I realized I just remind my examples and from what I've seen in the comments and all that stuff you
Are going to see everything. I mean you are going to see it all you're gonna be scratching your head
you're gonna be thinking to yourself like how
how
Why?
You know and you see everything and you see a lot of stuff like that
That's really funny
and
That just puts a smile on your face and you can't you cannot believe it and then of course I see some bad stuff
too some stuff that just upsets me disgusts me and
Saddens me
And of course as I was sifting through some of the meme examples to find some good stuff for this video, of course
There were lots of unfortunately
Memes that were made that were very hateful
Racist offensive and things that just disgust me and it's always really sad
you know because I always I mean what my what my motto is what I always try to
Advocate on to others is to treat others with kindness respect and dignity
That's what I always try to do every single day. And I know I'm not perfect
But sometimes seeing these bad things that people will try and do and put my name, you know, it bothers me
But I just have to say look it's sad. It's disappointing
But there's nothing that I can do about it
There's so many people out. There. It is what it is. Just have to ignore block out those bad things
Remember that stuff is not a true reflection of me or the channel
But there is one thing I would say the worst of the worst
Was back in 20 was I guess 2017
Believe it or not. I was the victim of a death hoax believe it or not
Let me pull these up for you. There was this one current event that happened back then when there was a bombing at?
one in
Manchester at I believe this ariana grande concert and
people were saying I
You know
I was I was a victim of the attack and then I was missing and people legitimately thought
that I was involved that I was a victim and
those to the point where I was getting inundated with emails and messages and
Major news outlets were literally reporting to millions of people that I was dead
So I had to make a video you can see right there great shirt
I had to set up the camera real quick, you know in saying look I'm alive. I'm here. I'm
thousands of miles away unharmed and
My heart goes out to the real victims of this, you know
and it's always sad that people will look at that and they will take something as serious as a death hoax and
Making fun of a tragedy where many innocent people lost their lives and we'll make it a joke, you know
Undermine and degrade such a terrible situation
So that was really disappointing the first time of course, I was I was freaked out
I was saying look I got I refute this like I don't make sure people know that I'm
You know that I'm still here and then of course people tried to do it again and again and again
There was this time with the the thing that happened in Las Vegas in 2017 a big
At the most Vegas trip the shooting there
Someone tried to put it on Twitter again, but you know thankfully
I think the first time people did it the reaction was so big but now people will see it now realize
Yeah, this is just another one of means you knowns he's not a real victim
But of course if necessary, although he's dude I have to do to refute it
But it's just it's sad but sometimes the way memes are
you have
things that can be really really funny and
You know even nice sometimes say it is a joke, but they can really be relatable
You know, it could really be a reflection of your mood how you're feeling
There are also times though where it's really negative and it's sad that it's definitely that double-edged sword
So I mean in the end, how do I feel about being a meme?
It doesn't bother me at first
I was trying to wrap my mind around that and I was like really I was puzzled
I was confused but in the end I've come to accept it and I also realize of course
that there's a very loud car on the street and
Of course though I realize there are so many people out there
That so many things about me are going to be posted so many funny great things and lots of bad
nasty
Disgusting things as well the best thing you can do to face
Those things is a guy to ignore them. Give them no credit. Give them no acknowledgment and
Life goes on and focus on the real important things that matter
