I hate to be 'that' guy. But what makes this a meme?

[–]YouListening 328 points329 points ago

It's not.

[–]snarkhunter 208 points209 points ago

What makes this "old"? That version started in 2010. 2 years isn't quite "old". Damn kids on my lawn and I'm only 27.

[–]TheMarshmallow 180 points181 points ago

Found this Sherlock image whilst cleaning up my hard drive

[–]monkeymagoo 133 points134 points ago

I'm not even sure it was on his hard drive

[–]ThePrettyOne 154 points155 points ago

Found this Sherlock image.

[–]OpticalData 119 points120 points ago

I'm not even sure it was 'found', probably just kept aside for a few months for the karma

[–]Rabidpug 141 points142 points ago

Sherlock image

[–]no_social_skills 110 points111 points ago

I'm not even sure that is an image. More like a comic.

[–]Milkgunner 153 points154 points ago

Sherlock.

[–]Cyborg771 39 points40 points ago

Isn't this from The Hounds of Baskerville episode? That only aired on January 8 2012.

[–]JarlofDenmark 1 point2 points ago

Aha! Foiled again!

[–]Jackdabomb 5 points6 points ago

Internet time is different than regular time. That's why videos like "Evolution of Dance" or "Charlie Bit my Finger" are considered ancient unfunny relics. It's like the fashion world.

[–]snarkhunter 4 points5 points ago

Those two videos were uploaded in 06 and 07. There were viral videos about the 2004 and even the 2000 election, for instance. I remember watching Jon Stewart tear the assholes on CrossFire a new one. I remember an ultimate showdown, the end of the world. I remember badgers. I remember Trogdor.

And I remember what happened in AD 2101.

edit: I also remember that my spoon is too big.

edit: and all I want, bang bang bang

[–]darkneo86 2 points3 points ago

Oh Strongbad...

[–]insanelyloudclapper 1 point2 points ago

I remember the dancing baby, and my computer being too slow to run it properly.

[–]JGoody 0 points1 point ago

Badger badger badger badger. MUSHROOM.

[–]FrisianDude 0 points1 point ago

Charlie bit my finger has never been funny, yet somehow it started off as an ancient unfunny relic. It was suddenly.

[–]YouListening 1 point2 points ago

It's not.

[–]Priceless721 0 points1 point ago

Old as in "I was on reddit last week when it was posted."

[–]HapaxHog[S] 19 points20 points ago

My (unintentional) mistake. I don't know the word for it, but meme sprang into my head.

[–]YouListening 32 points33 points ago

"Comic"? "Image macro"?

[–]doot_doot 13 points14 points ago

Image macro is the preferred nomenclature.

[–]Asophis 0 points1 point ago

dat vocab

[–]doot_doot 0 points1 point ago

-Big Lebowski

[–]HapaxHog[S] 35 points36 points ago

Sorry.

[–]DemonMuffins 10 points11 points ago

Don't worry OP, you're a cool guy for following up. It was an honest mistake and I still laughed and didn't care. Upvote to you.

[–]Cannedbeans 2 points3 points ago

You should crosspost this over at r/cumberbitches. We'd eat your face off with karma.

[–]Themrescher 1 point2 points ago

I can't believe that that is an actual subreddit.

[–]Cannedbeans 0 points1 point ago

Believe it, honey. The man creates a fervor.

[–]Cabbage_Vendor 1 point2 points ago

"Vertical" is the term most often used for these types of screengrab comics.

[–]Purple_Herman 1 point2 points ago

The term is image macro.

[–]bbctol 1 point2 points ago

To be fair, under the original Dawkins definition of "meme" (which I at least still use) this is totally a meme, in that it is a unit of culture.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]firstaccounttemp 0 points1 point ago

It's not that old.

[–]Hubso 23 points24 points ago

Cup.

[–]firstaccounttemp 12 points13 points ago

Cutting out all the middle bit?

[–]ed4649 2 points3 points ago

I think OP meant to say "le me me".

[–]faction60 5 points6 points ago

This may come as a shock to many on this website but the definition of the term "meme" is not "image macro"

[–]kabomlamma 2 points3 points ago

because advice animals calls all their pictures meme even if they are posted once a lot of people who apparently only go on reddit have the idea that any picture with text on it is a meme.

[–]davy_crockett 0 points1 point ago

OP thinks "meme" just means funny picture with words on it.

[–]Sfork 4 points5 points ago

Actually a lot of people think that. I'd argue the # of people who think meme = funny picture with words on it, far out numbers the people who remember the original definition.

[–]Dardove 2 points3 points ago

The original definition is a type of cheeseburger, right?

[–]commandodude1265 0 points1 point ago

cheezburger

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W -2 points-1 points ago

The original definition does includes OP's image.

[–]SpiritVapor 3 points4 points ago

Isn't the definition of a meme just a single idea? A lot of ideas are actually considered memes :). Memes are similar to genes, in that they go through survival of the fittest, and the ones that survive (more popular) continue to spread. But a more narrow definition of internet pictures has taken upon the name of the word meme, which is also true (that's how language works!) so by all technicalities of this slimmer definition, sure it isn't a meme. BUT wouldn't that mean no mean starts out as a meme, and grows into one? The FFFUUUU rage face wasn't immediately popular, and once it became popular, it developed internet stardom, thereupon being dubbed the category "meme"

[–]MisterDonkey 0 points1 point ago

I'll be that guy, too.

[–]SpiritVapor -1 points0 points ago

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

I think the initial definition of a meme is just any single idea. So it would be a meme, but it's debatable if it's a considerably popular meme :)

[–]amkoi -2 points-1 points ago

If that is the case stop right before the but. It's quite easy. Otherwise start with "I came here to be that guy".

[–]DragonMistress 63 points64 points ago

Two words. Benedict Cumberbatch. Is that not the most awesome name?

[–]Japadian 47 points48 points ago

Four: Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch.

[–]thieving_magpie 13 points14 points ago

Let's drop Timothy. Nobody likes Timothy.

Now, Carlton, that's a name.

[–]I_am_salad 17 points18 points ago

Carlton Cumberbatch.

I will name my first child this. I expect extra karma if it's a girl.

[–]jer21 1 point2 points ago

Slut Bunwalla.

[–]DragonMistress 0 points1 point ago

One of my friends just left high school, n at the leavers presentation, the head teacher couldn't pronounce his last name. It's Knyhynyckyj. I also think that's a pretty awesome name.

[–]ftc08 4 points5 points ago

As much as I love Cumberbatch and have a mild Kinsey-1 crush on him, the best name in existence has to go to Justice Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar.

[–]dasberd 4 points5 points ago

That is the most English name ever.

[–]Kyle-Overstreet 2 points3 points ago

Oh god I want to make love to him on a mountain and take his name.

[–]gravitongracie 1 point2 points ago

[–]ejecto 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like a sausage.

[–]P10_WRC -1 points0 points ago

my niece's boyfriend looks like that guy

[–]DragonMistress 0 points1 point ago

Your niece has a hot boyfriend. Congratulate her :)

[–]ILL_Show_Myself_Out 23 points24 points ago

"It's a mug"

[–]maddyzeemak 23 points24 points ago

[–]I_am_salad 7 points8 points ago

Not.

Surprising.

At all.

[–]A_MAN_RUNNING 2 points3 points ago

It was actually drugged. That was the basis of the ep.

[–]BossOfTheGame 2 points3 points ago

Wrong, he thought it was drugged. It was in the fog. Not the sugar. He was just convinced it was in the sugar.

[–]I_am_salad 0 points1 point ago

I know. Baskerville episode. Awesome show.

[–]Intolight 105 points106 points ago

[–]TeaBeforeWar 51 points52 points ago

Relevant to the relevant.

Hedgehog Martin Freeman.

Edit: Fuck it, have some relevant self-whoring. OTTERY SCIENCE.

[–]atimholt 3 points4 points ago

That second one looks like it could be something from one of those amazing webcomics with in-depth story lines.

[–]cottoncandysex 0 points1 point ago

so cute~<3

[–]hooplah 3 points4 points ago

I love this so much. I feel the warm and fuzzies when I look at it.

[–]fryadams 36 points37 points ago

The text in this is a quote from Cabin Pressure, a radio sitcom Benedict Cumberbatch stars in. If you like Sherlock, I'd recommend listening to the show.

[–]RevProtocol 7 points8 points ago

Thanks for clearing that up. I just watched the three episodes on Netflix and couldn't recall anything like this in there.

[–]Bridash 4 points5 points ago

It actually was in the series too, but I can't remember which specific episode. There is a second season (also three episodes), but it is not on Netflix. I found it on dailymotion.com so maybe start there if you want to find it? It had each episode in two parts. Cheers.

EDIT: The first part of season 2 episode 1 can be found here.

[–]beggarinthesand 3 points4 points ago

Its "The Hounds of Baskerville" or something similar sounding. Its from the second season.

[–]RevProtocol 4 points5 points ago

OH MY GOD there is a second season? Looks like my pirating days aren't over after all.

[–]hooplah 13 points14 points ago

Second series episode 1 is the best of them all.

[–]akathatguy2 0 points1 point ago

Dat text tone at the end.

[–]Bridash 1 point2 points ago

Haha the second season is very good as well, and I think a third season is in the works (according to Wikipedia). If you don't want to pirate, I linked to the start of the second season in the post above yours.

[–]RevProtocol 1 point2 points ago

Interesting, I thought I had heard they had put it on hold because Martin Freeman was doing The Hobbit.

[–]deadpansnarker 2 points3 points ago

Benedict Cumberbatch is also in The Hobbit fun fact

[–]nalisemin 1 point2 points ago

Won't he just be in the second part? Cause in the book, Smaug doesnt come in til near the end...

[–]deadpansnarker 1 point2 points ago

I consider both parts "The Hobbit", I do not know Smaug will be in the first movie or not

[–]nalisemin 0 points1 point ago

Ah okay. Cause that would mix around filming schedules too, i don't know anything about the production of the second part along with the third season of Sherlock

[–]bparkey 1 point2 points ago

Benedict Cumberbatch (I even love typing this awesome name) has said that he wants to play Sherlock for as long as possible. Here is hoping we get several more episodes.

[–]fauxstellata 1 point2 points ago

The BBC actually commissioned Seasons 2 and 3 at the same time.

They just kept quiet about it to keep the suspense for the Season 2 finale.

[–]AnArcher 1 point2 points ago

The Hound of the Baskervilles ep (these screenshots are from that one) is my least favorite episode...I though Sherlock was unneccessarilly cruel to Watson.

[–]dsr541 0 points1 point ago

It is but it doesn't start filming until next summer or something like that.

[–]clc0024 3 points4 points ago

Upvote ALL the Cabin Pressure fans in the airdot!

[–]theheartofgold 1 point2 points ago

You can find all of Cabin Pressure on youtube, if that helps.

[–]dinogirl42 34 points35 points ago

....this isn't a meme.

[–]LeonHRodriguez 3 points4 points ago

nope

simply re-creating a scene from a TV show does not a meme make

[–]phenomenos 4 points5 points ago

It's not the same dialogue that's in the show.

This is the scene

[–]jaylocked 20 points21 points ago

Everybody gets that it's a Cabin Pressure reference, right?

[–]Vaekaera 6 points7 points ago

A fellow listener! Capital!

[–]firstaccounttemp 6 points7 points ago

Brilliant!

[–]Thirith 1 point2 points ago

Thank god. I was beginning to give up hope.

As a side note, read Condescending Wonka memes in Douglas's voice. You will be amused, I promise.

[–]jaylocked 2 points3 points ago

Oh wow that's perfect. That just improved Condescending Wonka immensely.

[–]theheartofgold 0 points1 point ago

The lemon is in play.

[–]My_Dog_Eats_Trees 4 points5 points ago

Benedict, you make my lady parts sing.

[–]LordAnubis10 5 points6 points ago

"punch me on the face" "what?" "you heard me" "well I always hear punch me in the face when you're talking, but it's usually subtext"

[–]theheartofgold 1 point2 points ago

"You forget Sherlock, I was a soldier. I killed people!"

"You were a doctor!"

"I HAD BAD DAYS"

[–]LordAnubis10 0 points1 point ago

"let go of my sheet" "or what" "or I'll walk off" "I'll let you"

[–]Tatortotts 4 points5 points ago

Take this time to promote /r/Sherlock. Kind of slow now but as soon as new seasons start the subreddit kicks into high gear.

[–]FrisianDude 0 points1 point ago

Don't remind me, vile temptress. I prefer being pleasantly surprised at a new season rather than having to wait with quavering heart. :P

[–]Athene_Wins 20 points21 points ago

What the fuck. I came to the comments for a hilarious youtube video link and you have failed me for the first time, Reddit.

FUCK YOU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOTklU8mUUQ

Found it for you dicksucks. He doesn't even say any of that! Not funny at all >:(

[–]rexy411 5 points6 points ago

This comment perfectly sums up how I'm feeling right now.

[–]Belaires 1 point2 points ago

even the use of "dicksucks"?

Nothing about telling people to go suck a fuck?

[–]calamormine 1 point2 points ago

How exactly does one suck a fuck?

[–]vote4petro 1 point2 points ago

You are such a fuckass.

[–]clc0024 2 points3 points ago

I suggest you listen to this episode of Cabin Pressure for the reference. If you enjoy it, definitely go back and listen from the beginning. It's a brilliant show, it had me cracking up in public on more than one occasion.

[–]Speedwagon 5 points6 points ago

This is an image macro.

Not a meme.

[–]Youngfajita 2 points3 points ago

I started watchinb this show about a month ago and netflix only has the first 3 eps anyone know where I can watch the rest?

This is originally from the radio series "cabin pressure" which Cumberbatch was in.

[–]Haacker45 2 points3 points ago

So this is how reposts are happening now? "oh just cleaning my hard drive have all the top posts i saved."

[–]JJean1 2 points3 points ago

You keep saying "meme". I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[–]miketgainer 3 points4 points ago

It's an image macro, not a meme.

[–]Rosy895 10 points11 points ago

I keep wondering why I'm so addicted to that show... Now I know why.

[–]Metsuro 2 points3 points ago

Ya? I only ever saw the 3 episodes or whatever on netflix and got interested but... I'm to lazy to find anymore.

[–]omnilynx 11 points12 points ago

There are only three episodes per season, it's more like an ongoing miniseries than a show. But you should definitely see the second set, they might be better than the first.

[–]elkins9293 6 points7 points ago

Dear god yes they are. And the sixth episode made me cry and laugh and feel every possible emotion. 2013 needs to get here soon before I die of lack of sherlock.

[–]IamSparticles 3 points4 points ago

They finally broadcast the second series on Masterpiece Mystery last month. They were pretty good, and ended with a kickass cliffhanger.

[–]_christopher_ 0 points1 point ago

Molly. "I need you". She has access to the morgue and all. Dude on the bike hits Bilbo so he doesn't get a good idea of what happened on the ground.

[–]Hoobleton 2 points3 points ago

Also, conveniently placed, open-topped, garbage truck to provide a soft(er) landing, as well as the low building which blocks John's view of the ground when he sees the fall from a block away.

[–]I_am_salad 1 point2 points ago

Still doesn't explain how the <expunged spoiler but you know who I mean> didn't see where he landed.

[–]damiroor -1 points0 points ago

you should be considerate about spoilers.

[–]Rosy895 2 points3 points ago

I am too. I saw the last episode of it to date, thought it was awesome, then watched the first three on Netflix. I tried to find them on the interwebs, but couldn't. And, like you, I'm too lazy to find the 2nd season and beginning of the 3rd.

[–]BILL_MURRAYS_COCK 0 points1 point ago

There's already a beginning of the third? I thought it was going to be released next year some time

[–]Rosy895 0 points1 point ago

Wait- no? No. Sorry. Too much space between each season. Fries my brain.

[–]BILL_MURRAYS_COCK 0 points1 point ago

[–]agloriouscuppa 0 points1 point ago

This is also in an episode of the radio programme cabin pressure, which stars Cumberbatch and predates it by about a year. Which I like to think Cumberatch liked it so much he told it to Moffat.

The quote comes a radio show called Cabin Pressure.

I can't be the only one that found Holmes to be annoying as fuck in this series? half his deductions could be for other reasons. I assure you that the scratches on my old phone from the charger was not because I am a drunk, but because I plugged the phone in after I turned the lights off.

[–]koyo4 0 points1 point ago

Is it really old? Saw this a week or so ago.

[–]superpastaaisle 0 points1 point ago

Why don't you just tell the truth and say you found it on the internet and that it is a repost, because it totally is.

"Cleaning up my hard drive"

Really, because that consists of going through photos individually, right that is where most of your disk space is located.

But seriously, what is with reddit and these stupid shitty lies people put in the title. Who gives a shit even if it is true. If it doesn't have any contextual value, why don't you just say "Check out this portal themed cake" not "So my BF who knows i love portal a lot made this gem of a cake"

[–]Aseconverse 0 points1 point ago

Which makes it a repost....just kidding. I don't care.

Did you really have to say "whilst?" Seems like "while" would have worked just fine, and not made you come off as pretentious.
