It's just... Not that funny. I don't get how it's blowing up so much. And I don't necessarily care for him one wya or the other.

Theyve turned Bernie into a meme to fight back against his message. Msnbc was treating it like the funniest thing since sliced bread

It was funny for about an hour maybe.

People gotta beat a dead horse into the ground.

Did the same thing with the twisted tea thing

Yeah this, if everyone would just slow down on the meme generation it would last a lot longer but everyone's gotta get that reddit karma

I made a thread like this the other day also. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/79253904 It was a kinda funny picture and that's all. The internet for some reason drove it into the ground within only a few hours. The meme is just "let's put bernie in these places"............ok

I'm going to assume you don't know any memes between that and the Bernie one because you ignored things like Twisted Tea, Dancing Pallbearers, and Tiger King

TC's reaction to the Bernie meme:

this plain unedited application of the meme is actually funnier than any of the boring edits putting him in places like game of thrones

Bernie at inauguration meme is basically just grumpy cat 2.0

Memes can't be explained. You should study them more.

The gravitas of the occasion meant that every other person at the event was dripping in chique designer wear and carrying themselves with an air of importance and dignity. High fashion houses around the world have been boasting about how they made the dress for Michelle Obama or J Lo or whatever

Then there's bernie in his walmart parka and homemade mittens and brown shoes and surgical mask looking like this is just one thing on his to-do list for today

i think its more because he looks like a grouchy old man and its just kinda sweet. He looks like he could be your grandpa on Thanksgiving day or something.

The democratic party threw him under the bus twice and he begrudgingly attends Biden's inauguration. That's pretty much it.

For me the issue is the same as with most memes.

It's funny the first few times but kind of loses it's appeal when bombarded with it. No issue if others still enjoy it though.

This also.

The Twisted Tea meme wasn't even funny but was hot for like a week and now nobody cares. Bernie isn't funny either, just memeable.

It's the epitome of modern meme culture. People took something that was mildly amusing at best, and rammed it into the fucking ground as fast as they could.

This one is especially yucky though because of the universality of it. Like, I've seen dozens of pages that don't post memes or even anything humor-based, who are posting their own "babby's first Photoshop" versions of it. It's really weird.
