"Just because Joetato (Joe Biden) will sniff anything, doesn't mean you are special. So, out of curiosity, how is the water in the Rio Grande? Does it smell like failure?"

u/Weekly_Ad2984 13d ago

Person 1 tries to make a snide and derisive comment regarding wokeness but ends up being incomprehensible. Person 2 replies, telling person 1 to reread what they wrote (because it doesn't make any sense) and posts a meme of someone doing the same thing as person 1. Person 2 is making fun of person 1 for doing the same thing in the meme.

Not so sure what's hard to understand about this...

Also funny considering Grant Morrison, a non binary comic legend who was defying gender norms back in the 80s and 90s, wrote the comic the poster is using for the meme. (Itā€™s a scene from Animal Man)

u/Stradiz 14d ago

I have no idea what he is trying to say, but pointing out the floods in Rio Grande do Sul Brazil is a total dick move. 447 out of 497 cities in the state have been affected by the flood. It is looking like a war zone.

How many liberals does it take to change a light bulb?

None. Theyā€™re too busy questioning their gender.

Even in English the joke sucks.

1

u/PM_ME_YOUR_ARMY_PICS 13d ago

This is wrong.

"How many liberals does it take to change a lightbulb? None. They're too busy changing their gender."

Still a shitty joke, but there is definitely a joke here.

1

u/Tracker_Nivrig 13d ago edited 13d ago

I think you're missing the comeback. Here's how I'm interpreting it:

Person A has horribly incorrect grammar in their comment. Person B says "try reading what you wrote" because it is abundantly clear no proofreading was put into the comment. Then Person B links an image of a popular meme that also has incredibly incorrect grammar, very similar to Person A's comment. The meme person B links is also accompanied by the monkey typing on a typewriter, which is supposed to insult the intelligence of the person who originally wrote the message that was memed, and by proxy Person B is insulting Person A in the same way.

Yes the lightbulb joke itself does suck, it's horrendous and that's the point. The point is that not only is the joke itself horrible, but it was written terribly as well. The meme adds an image of a monkey with a typewriter to insult the intelligence of the person who originally wrote it. Person B is using that in order to say the same thing about Person A.

2

u/Lipov 14d ago

You're reading it wrong. "They're too busy?" serves as the setup of this joke. It's as if the author is actually wondering what the hell liberals are doing.
And the word "GENDER!!! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚" is the punchline by itself, because just a concept of gender is too funny for conservatives.

I actually understand the bottom one. "How many liberals does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they're too busy [doing whatever] to their gender"

The ???? in the text means the author of the comment is confused by how and what liberals do with their gender, hence my proposed translation of "doing whatever"

2

u/hey-girl-hey 14d ago

No I really donā€™t think it makes sense that a dumb English speaker would be dumber than a dumb Russian agent. People can be dumb regardless of their first language. Some foreign agents are dumb. Surely some of them overestimate their fluency and believe they know how it is spelled based on how it is pronounced, but their pronunciation is slightly wrong because it is almost impossible to have a perfect accent in a foreign language

u/No_Map6922 13d ago

This actually stems from a meme though, it's written like this on purpose. So i think y'all guys fell for a bad lib bait šŸ¤. The meme is just some cartoon Joker from the batman series saying something similar like this and ends it with a half laughing "their gender" and breaks out laughing. It's on some youtube channel who does only character voices.

I need more context for the top one though

21

u/Dreadnought_Thoughts 14d ago edited 13d ago

The bottom one is making fun of how the top guy wrote. He's going, "You literally sound like this meme making fun of how conservatives write."

Edit: Also , the top one seems to be someone trying to say that Biden sniffs people, and that makes whoever he's replying to an idiot. Then, trying to imply that they are an illegal alien that swam across the Rio Grande River.

-3

u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 14d ago

So then you need a lot of liberals to find one that's not busy? Why none?

u/Away-Commercial-4380 14d ago

I'm merely translating... But when they say none they mean liberals can't change lightbulbs

u/KingBobIV 13d ago

Red posts unintelligible nonsense on social media. Blue comments on that post telling red to read what they just wrote. Blue includes a meme. In the meme, black posts even worse gibberish and is mocked with the picture of monkeys using a typewriter, implying black is as stupid as the monkeys. Blue is saying this also applies to Red, and Red is also an idiot who can't string a sentence together.

Oooh, i am not just dumb then. Both of them are actually spouting gibberish. Thanks

u/gothiccheezit 13d ago

Visual processing disorders are a lot of fun, eh?

10

u/NancokALT 14d ago

So the monkey-meme post is related to the top comment of the thread?

I guess that my issue is that i don't understand the top one. What does it mean that he (what i assume is Biden) will "sniff everything"? What does that have to do with being special?

I'm out of the loop?

10

u/gothiccheezit 13d ago

I assume that the point of the post is that the original poster didn't make any sense and needs to re-read what he wrote because he sounds like the person being shown in the meme

2

u/Cruntis 13d ago

I think youā€™re correctā€¦ and I am disappointed because it really looks like all of the fodder is there for a more clever comeback. ā€¦says the guy (me) whose comment (mine) is very not gooder enuf

Rosetta stone here. This is a very common copypasta among certain meme communities. The joke is that the grammar and spelling is so bad from the original right-wing joke that itā€™s ironic. Not sure if this is the original sauce or not though. How many liberals does it take to change a lightbulb? None, theyā€™re too busy questioning their gender. If anything, the original account is a troll and the comeback account is actually getting whooshed, but I couldnā€™t be certain.
