Downfall re-enacted

Fabulous: Brandon Hardesty re-enacts the whole infamous bunker scene from the movie Downfall (which has become a major internet meme, as reported before here and here), and yes it is hilarious.

Downfall meme in danger

I don't get this: so the movie company of Downfall is now ordering DMCA takedowns of all videos that contain footage from the movie from Youtube and other video sites. Why on Earth should they fight a meme that has brought their film so much attention, especially internationally? Of course, we didn't have to wait long for the answer, i. e. a Downfall in which Hitler himself orders the takedown.

The truth in old masters

Well this is surprisingly cheeky: Samsung presents some new 3D television or something with a look a some "old masters" paintings, revealing some interesting larger story behind these pictures. This spot really calls on a lot of nerdy topics (like the giant shark vs. helicopter meme or The Matrix), and if you turn of the commentary it's even better.

Awesome things

Well, it appears that the photo series Obama feigning interest in mundane things has become a kind of internet meme, so here's the new and upgraded Obama looking at awesome things.

Jesus was a Raptor

Besides the common knowledge that Jesus must have been a pirate at least, the newer studies have shown him to be even more awful.
But if Jesus is a raptor what would that make god? A raptor in an F16????
Oh boy, nothing is holy to the internez....

The elder Lolgods awake...

Who would have thought that the elder gods from Lovecrafts dark universe would even invade the lolcats.

This is only funny if you know the infamous Hadouken punch from the Street Fighter franchise or one of the countless remixes it has inspired over the years.

Epic beard man interview

This meme is out of control: if you haven't heard of the Epic Beard Man meme by now, then it's time to do your homework. Here's the first proper interview with Thomas Bruso, 67-year old "hero" of the video, who explains his world view and goes through the full range of emotions, like a truly epic man.

Angry video game nerd

Yes, this is a long-ongoing Internet meme which for some reason has passed me by so far: the Angry Video Game Nerd. This guy is funny and cool and the videos he produces are really quirky and well thought through. I like his frustrated mutterings like "nnngh.. get up there.. come on.. graargh!", I can so relate.

Best memes of 2009

Always good to recap: here's a list of some 25 memes from 2009 (not the best mind you, but that kind of "best" will always be up for discussion I guess). Featured above: the "Your argument is invalid" meme (quite similar the "I don't know what you're talking about, so here's ..."), the running girl meme and the Ragetoon meme.

In between the decades

Wait, is it the end of the decade already again? Well technically no I guess. Isn't it the same as with the 21st century starting in 2001, not 2000? Anyway, judging from the "The XX best/worst/whatever YZ of the past decade" lists cropping up in the Internets these days, it appears we're in fact transitioning from the ..hm.. ougthies? naughties? to the ..well.. two thousand tenners? This is kind of difficult. What kind of fucked-up language joke is that so that you can't refer to the first two decades in a proper way? So for the next ten years we'll have to call the period between 2000 and 2010 "the past decade" and between 2011 and 2020 "the current decade", until we can finally refer to proper decades like the 20ies, 30ies or the 80ies again? This sucks.

And it will especially suck for all kinds of cultural references, like "this haircut is so 80ies" or "that cool kind of 60ies retro design".. see, it's clear instantly what you're talking about when you refer to "goofy 90ies style clothes", but what about after 2000? "This kind of architectural style is so very reminiscent of the period in the first couple of years after the switch to the new millennium?" Why, why isn't there a way around that when it's much easier to say "XXies architecture". The same problem was obvious 100 years ago, when people tried referring to their "00ies" and "10ies" (??), of the twentieth century, that is, but nobody came up with anything conclusive or otherwise at least usable, what with the Great War and all. Well, well. I for one am quite sure that this will be a major referral problem for years to come. Internets of the world, please create a word that catches on!

Anyway, here's the super-psycho Charlie the Unicorn animated film from the Topless Robot's most notorious video meme list of the 00ies.

The Downfall meme

Bernd Eichinger, German director and producer of the movie Downfall, has commented on the prevalence of the Downfall internet meme, where geeks around the world take the famous "rant" scene from the movie and put subtitles on it, using any topic from Michael Jackson's death to the financial crisis. Eichinger notes that he finds these mashups hilarious and that he is happy the film and the scene in particular is firing people's imaginations.
