That cane was made by Nokia.

[–]legendhairymonkey 27 points28 points ago

Part of me feels that the recent flood of "indestructible Nokia" memes may be actually be part of a subtle propaganda campaign by Apple. One to make us think that our Iphones are acceptably fragile and that old Nokias were freakishly durable, when in fact they were in just acceptably durable and we should expect more from our current phones. Am I making sense?

[–]habitualLineStepper 5 points6 points ago

More like a Nokia campaign. And it seems to be US-targeted.

[–]legendhairymonkey 1 point2 points ago

That would also make sense, something seems a little fishy to me.

[–]Bloodywhitechucks 1 point2 points ago

If it isn't, they could certainly make for a fantastic ad campaign if they said: we took the same durability and reliability of this (shows old nokia) and the technology of this (shows nokia smartphone) and put it into this (presents new phone)

[–]gravion17 2 points3 points ago

Inteesting theory...but I still have my Tmobile 3390...it still works...it just sits there, mocking me...mocking me.

[–]ZeldaFaggot 68 points69 points ago

How is this meme still around

[–]Altair3go 138 points139 points ago

Isn't it obvious? The meme itself is made of Nokias.

[–]Steams 17 points18 points ago

So Meta.

[–]Msingh999 0 points1 point ago

I'm so meta, even this acronym. Edit: I wish I could take credit for this, but I can't. http://xkcd.com/917/

[–]dressiertugboat 6 points7 points ago

The Captain America?

[–]mono- 13 points14 points ago

"Captain Finland"

[–]Siverix 4 points5 points ago

Finns didn't need a captain Finland they already had atleast two supersnipers.

[–]Itchely 18 points19 points ago

oh no, not again..not another nokia joke..this isn't funny anymore

[–]Psirocking 12 points13 points ago

  • australia is upside down + canada is too polite.

[–]whoops1995 10 points11 points ago

HAR HAR MITT ROMNEY IS A RICH BASTARD

[–]Gratlofatic 1 point2 points ago

As a Canadian, thank you! :)

[–]tysker86 1 point2 points ago

So first thors hammer, now captain americas shield... So next is ironmans armor and then the hulks pants???

[–]LordOfTheSkeptics 1 point2 points ago

Yes.

[–]CosmicBard 1 point2 points ago

"The" Captain America?

[–]DoctorWSG 1 point2 points ago

That explains a fuckton of theories.

I guess that means Iron Man's suit is made by Apple. That suit gets ripped to shreds in Iron Man II.

[–]evilpotato 5 points6 points ago

Idk I kind of feel like this whole nokia meme is just some viral marketing bit that passed it's prime. Perhaps got picked up by some of the more impressionable sorts.

[–]username404ed 3 points4 points ago

Im sure you suck 9fagger dicks

[–]somewhatcleverEel 0 points1 point ago

Saw that coming

[–]nikomo 0 points1 point ago

The rarest material on the planet, Nokianium.

It's the rarest material on the planet, because the only people who knew how to make it jumped off an oil rig, causing the company to go bankrupt.

[–]dimperio8 0 points1 point ago

Yes, yes, it's a humorous Nokia joke, but let's take a minute to acknowledge the bad-assery that is Captain America. I mean look at him! He's such a swanky guy!

[–]katoolbag 0 points1 point ago

This is dumb and I hate you.

[–]schpooples 0 points1 point ago

Got Milk?

[–]grandhustler202 -1 points0 points ago

"The" Captain America.

Here, have a downvote.

[–]LordOfTheSkeptics -1 points0 points ago

Not being the first to comment on that, but being too lazy to read the comments to see that it'd already been posted. Here, have a downvote.

[–]wontonfatty 0 points1 point ago

"Vibranium" they put it in their phones.

[–]shanealeslie 0 points1 point ago

Wakandan Vibranium to be precise.

[–]wontonfatty 0 points1 point ago

If my memory serves me its pretty much the only place to get vibranium. Which also leads me to believe Nokia has a weapons lab in africa

[–]reddcell 0 points1 point ago

Why does Captain America have a milk mustache?

[–]SanguineHaze -1 points0 points ago

Soldier, this is a "don't ask, don't tell" army!

[–]slimyplatypus 0 points1 point ago

Explain me Wolverine's claws then.

[–]shanealeslie 1 point2 points ago

Admantium, different metal. I believe Caps shield is the only existing alloy of admantium and Wakandan Vibranium. It's structure turns kinetic force hitting the surface 90 degrees and sends it out the rim.

[–]LordOfTheSkeptics -5 points-4 points ago

Downvoted for horrible grammar.

[–]Limpan 0 points1 point ago

Because everyone on Reddit has english as a first language right?

[–]LordOfTheSkeptics -2 points-1 points ago

False. Regardless of origin, users who post should be wary of spelling and grammar.

[–]Limpan -1 points0 points ago

No, no they shouldn't. Just because you can spell and use proper grammar doesn't mean everyone can. Not everyone knows the proper ways to say things. I'm Swedish and I don't always know if I'm using the right tense or whatever. You understood what he was saying correct? You can't expect everyone on Reddit to speak english fluently.

[–]LordOfTheSkeptics -2 points-1 points ago

"You understood what he was saying, correct?" You're welcome.

[–]Limpan -1 points0 points ago

Oh my god, you're an asshole.

[–]LordOfTheSkeptics -2 points-1 points ago

At least you used the right 'you're'.

[–]LordOfTheSkeptics -2 points-1 points ago

Also, it's pretty great how i didn't have to downvote you at all to get your comments down to zero points. Thanks to whomever that mystery helper is.

[–]EchoKnox -2 points-1 points ago

9Gag Again?

[–]Grithoof 0 points1 point ago

Guys, if you don't like it, downvote it or start browsing r/new. Seems like the last few comment pages I've read have just been complaints.

[–]moneymine909 -1 points0 points ago

never expected it but it all makes sense...

[–]mushmancat -1 points0 points ago

Hiyoooo!!!

[–]LurkerTroll -1 points0 points ago

Captain America wishes his shield was made from nokium

[–]brokentoaster24 -1 points0 points ago

Why does cap have blue steel look...?

[–]lord_dude -1 points0 points ago

great post. still downvoting so that nokia doesnt get to much karma after bochum/germany

[–]Houdini166 -2 points-1 points ago

Would work with "Nalgene" too

[–]Bools -2 points-1 points ago

This hasn't been funny since people who've never owned a nokia or weren't old enough to have one began thinking it was funny
