The Cat in the hat!
We are all familiar with the classic dr seuss childrens story first published in 1957. you
know, the story that is basically about a giant talking cat who does a home invasion
on a house but when he finds out kids are home he gets pissed off and tries to kill
their pet eventually he invites his friends over who are hooked on cocaine so they can
destroy everything in the house.
But because the cat is on probation for a prior crime he decides to clean everything
up just in time before the kids mom comes home so he doesn’t have to go back to prison
…or something kinda like that.
I don’t remember exactly cause it’s been like 20 years since I last read the book but
I’m pretty sure I’m close.
The point that Im trying to make is that the book is popular!
It has been a part of almost everybody’s childhood for the last 60 years.
In fact it is so popular that in 2003, Hollywood came calling with the idea of creating a live
action Cat in the hat film starring Mike Myers….wrong Mike myers guys…there we go.
Now I know what you may be thinking…A successful and popular story that is beloved by million,
a popular actor as the lead role, A budget of over 100 million dollars backed by one
of the largest and well known film distributors in the world, what could go wrong?
Dramatic music
hahahahahaha hahahaha hahahaha
Oh that’s right,The movie sucked.
Now don’t get me wrong, not everybody hated it.
I mean look here…It won an award.A Golden Raspberry!
That’s pretty good right?
uhhh…Never mind.
The one up side to the film is that it made all of its money back.
With yours truly even seeing it in the movie theater as a child.
Now I Personally don’t remember not liking the movie but then again I don’t remember
liking it.
So Who am I to argue with critics?
The film was apparently so bad that Dr seuss’ widow forbid any more of her husband’s work
to be made into live action films, all movies past that point were to be animated and since
then they have
The film was heavily criticized for straying away from dr suess’ original work and adding
humor that wasn’t exactly child friendly.
dirty ho!
I’m sorry baby I love you.
Come on cat
It’s 2017!Why am I talking about an atrocity from 2003 that is better left forgotten?
For those of you familiar with the weird world we live in and the wonderful memes that come
with it, you may know that there has been a strange fascination with children’s movies
and television shows from the early and late 2000’s .
You see the cat in the hat has recently been included into a genre of memes known as fake
history memes .They are defined by taking a modern day image of people or characters
and adding captions and sometimes a filter to make it appear as though the image is old
and a part of history,but obviously is not really a part of history it’s just reimagined
in a different way with a new picture and people.
Often resulting in a pretty funny and enjoyable product.
The memes have been very popular on reddit, First being created in 2016 and remaining
popular since then.
Now in 2017 The Cat in the hat variation of the meme has become the most popular of all
of them.The meme depicts the cat in the hat with a bat in various scenarios that usually
portray him as an assassin or causer of notable world events.
The cat has even began to be added into memes that don’t fall into the fake history category
but are still pretty damn funny.
The original image of the cat in the hat with a bat comes from the classic scene in the
movie where the cat attempts to kill a child after the child hits him in the balls…And
No, that wasn’t a dumb joke.
That is literally a scene from this PG rated children’s movie.
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
You know, After seeing that it makes me wonder what ever happened to mike myers?
I haven’t seen him in any movies lately.
Oh,Right…
I forgot.
R.I.P.
MIKE R.I.P.

glory! listen it kinda rhymed ok?
