Nobody is the set up to the punchline though
linearcore
The humor found in the current example of a joke is inversely proportional to the number of instances of that joke.

If nobody sees the crop, did the crop ever happen

Finaly saw Into The Spiderverse today. I have a greater appreciation for this meme.
moonray55
I think you’re misusing this meme to criticise it. Leave the nobody there. It works
DidItForScience
I finally watched this movie a couple weeks ago. It was great.

Yeah OP, you yell at that cloud.
MuchTooPerilous
Akshewally, the meme should be the other way around: “this idiot ... everybody else” or “nobody *else* ... this idiot”.

Fact. I hate those.

What about Not a single soul
Illbealrighty
Yup, still don't get why it exists
iRateYourDick
Screw this. That meme can be funny af.
CygloPargen
It's only used properly about 10% of the time. Usually it's just used on what should be a simple caption
I agree but when it's right i laugh hard
ThanksIHateThis
It propositions that what is about to follow is unnecessary. It's a good meme format Bront.
KeezieWeezie
It works on occasion, but the majority of the time it adds nothing to the joke that comes after
Well... you're not wrong. A lot of people can't meme.
Crowlands
Except it gets attached to many things that don't need it. When it applies, it can be good, but don't add an opinion puffin to everything.
True but people misuse meme formats all the time, it's not the fault of the format.
NotVerySympathetic
I like it. Gives the impression the following is completely random and unwarranted. Cause nobody asked.
It is almost never used for that. It's almost always just trying to make a not-funny caption funnier.

Nobody: This dudes explanation
Thank you formatting for fucking that weak joke up
GandalfTheWhitest
But I like those memes...
aLilBlindKid
That’s alright too!
MrShunshine
The main issue with this format is if you remove the 'nobody' line, the meme is the same still.
[deleted]
jrntn
Except that misses the point. "Nobody asked for this" is the point of this meme format. Take it away and it's an entirely different meaning
But.............. that's not what this says

Literally nobody. Not even a single soul.

Nobody; OP
idontenglishsorry
Are we not gonna talk about the incredibly attention to detail behind this meme though? spider kid has the same meme with text! not just1/2
a templante
CarlottaVonSprockett
I’m with OP. So there’s SOMEBODY.
I kinda feel the meme is one of those nobody asked but youre giving your opinion or doing something weird, thing
No I understand that principle. I just think it’s a superfluous concept. Most of the time in my experience people offer their opinions 1/2
Unasked. That’s how we communicate as humans. I feel like the “nobody” joke is just unnecessary, & was only funny the first 100 times.
SirRichardOfHead
English is not my first language, but that has always seemed like a double negative to me. 1/?
Like "nobody is saying nothing" = "everybody is saying something". So maybe "everybody: \n OP: I'm a bundle of sticks" would be better? 2/3
HappyEngineer
I think it's drawing attention to how unprompted and unwanted the punchline is. Nobody is waiting in silence for them to say something.
ruferto
It reads as: "nobody said anything". Even if it were nobody says nothing, that wouldn't be a double negative at all.
Just because nobody said nothing doesn't mean that anyone in particular said nothing
Huh. I’ve never thought of it that way but you’re totally right
But it might just be my programming studies. 3/3
DirtPoorFarmerSeedingUsersub
Also, wouldn't her "data" be saved to a secure data-warehouse and that computer would only have a sliver of working data on it?
If it leaves your local network, it's not secure.
Are you suggesting they leave notes on a "criminal fucking conspiracy" on the cloud?
Probably not the best idea.
HomoSumHumaniAMeNihilAlienumPuto
I loved it. That exchange was so dorky and awkward it made the show seem more real.
FlameBeard86
What show?
The Wire. From HBO (available on Amazon Prime US with just Prime). I thought it was fantastic storytelling, both content and style.
bogus1983
But her emails!
Doc Ock's emails? That... Might have even more assassinations than Hillary's. Maybe.
JackAxton
Her husband was in office for 8 years. Octopi have 8 arms. There's a connection, you're on to something there.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE! She's turnin' the frickin' radioactive frogs gay!
(InB4 assumptions of my political position: It's just a joke, people.)
invisiblemaniac
Could be a host of reasons to not do that, from incompetence to not wanting other villains to get at it. Isolated IS secure, in a way.
ThePiedPiperofRuination
Considering the mess that was her desktop, I'd go with incompetence.
An EXCELLENT point.
Also, plot.
BenSnow97
I'm not even a supervillain (yet) and if you yanked my PC out of the wall and carried it off you'd get precisely no data out of it. Not >
because it's stored in some datacenter though, I just know how to use VeraCrypt.
CAAFlo
If it's on the cloud or accessible remotely then it isn't secure. I wouldn't even have internet on thag computer if it had all my evil plans
Not outside internet but the type of complex work would need some type of internal networking
LimyMage918
The only time I've ever seen where the nobody added to the joke was jk Rowling ones. Any other time it's been completely irrelevant
SomethingTittyWitty
litelbrown
CrossFit/vegans??
That works but I never see those so I didnt say anything on it. Plenty of subjects where it works but everyone uses it wrong
Rogahar
That's it's intended use. 'Nobody asked for, prompted or encouraged this, yet it happened anyway'.
mjangelvortex
That's my opinion on it. I think that meme format can work well when done properly but it's just overused and misused in some cases.
Anonisfun
*its
shponglefan
That it is intended use.
What on Earth are you saying? The comment was "That's it's intended use." That is it is intended use makes no sense. The it is a pronoun/
Referring back to the meme, and the meme has an associated format. Therefore possessive pronoun its is used.
But like many memes it gets misused.
ICantThinkOfAU
I mean shit I remember when memes referred to specific things like “hole guy” rather than just screenshots from Facebook, but once enough1/2
GrimFinn
It's sad that the term "meme" was appropriated to mean recurring jokes of the internet culture. Any piece of culture that spreads is a meme.
"Luke, I am your father" is a meme (also in its not-misquoted form). Weekday names are memes. The Christian cross is a meme.
people misunderstand what it is, that’s what the word means. Frustrating! But it really do be like that 2/2
KnucleheadFlow
Shit, *I* remember when a meme was a quantized idea moving through a population analogous to a gene but that's just me.
Carolynne
There is however an excellent one where PETA tried to do that meme and blindly insulted themselves.
Daeyelle
PETA aren’t vegans how has anybody been confused by this??
JamesJohnson
Self depreciating humor is a thing and usually done on purpose.
vowofloudness
Remember that their only goal is to keep you talking about them. It worked again.
Mackeroy
they're not getting any money out of me
Musklim
I think it's well used there but, yes they're insulting themselves. However many times PETA seems more like a fake ong w any other agenda.
Ocek
It's funny since it's actually pretty easy to argue in favor of reducing meat consumption, but PETA somehow fucks that up and comes off as
psychotic.
dmorulez
What about when it's absolutely nobody?
scribblesocks
But I don't think I've ever been in a meme.
drawkian
Then you absolutely don't need it
imakeeper
Well, that's different, isn't it? Of course you need it then!
MaladaptedMedic
Well that’s different obviously
Dionysus187
absolutely nobody said nothing, so everyone said something.
wilhelmgreyheim
Or not a single soul?
highstream
Or not a single person in the whole universe?
fudgex
Not one person ever?
PotKnight
Does the hot girl still have a boyfriend?
RadicalRobert
I think they are still dating
AbrasiveSasquatch
But, and hear me out, what if it starts with "somebody"
yougotsomesplainingtodo
Somebody: but, and hear me out, what if it starts “somebody”? Me: Fuck off. Yeah. That works.
redpandabanana
Gotta meme an example or it doesn’t exist
