Dang, these memes are dank

I'm, yet again, a day late with my GMM comments. I had a very active day yesterday, considering the fact that I never left my home - but more about that in another post. I also admit, I figured since there's no new GMM today, and I was a little tired last night, I'd take advantage of the "free day".

Yesterday's GMM was one recorded during the quarantine, so that topic is unavoidable in this post, but let's not allow that impact the fact that this was a brilliant, hilarious episode, and a prime example of the resoursefulness and creativity of the Mythical team. But now, let's talk about memes!

I should probably tell you from the start that this post will include quite a few memes. Not sure if they qualify as dank. Probably not. I'm not a meme expert, or even a dank dad. I'm just a girl with a questionable sense of humour and too much time on my hands.

But, lucky for us, someone at Mythical came up with the brilliant idea of educating both us, the viewers, and Rhett and Link in the fine art of memes. Stevie introduces the guys with some classic meme images, and asks them to add the texts to these pictures. The funnier dad meme gets the points, which escalate each round. The loser gets a unflattering meme of himself posted all over the internet.

I haven't quite finished the internet yet, despite the quarantine, but I do appreciate a good meme when I see one. But can two middle-aged guys come up with innovative memes, and most importantly, will Stevie find them funny?

In the first round, the blank meme to use is the confession bear. I laughed way too hard on Stevie's version of this, probably because I just watched a Buzzfeed (😬) video where people tried to guess blindfolded, which scented candle was the Gwyneth one.

I actually think Link's confession about vaping his own burps was pretty hilarious, but somehow, the bear's sad face fits so well with the idea Rhett wears a beard not because he wants to, but because he doesn't want to scare the kids. Also, the more I think about it, the more I feel Link's confession was a bit too gross even for a meme.

I wasn't familiar with the This is how I win meme, probably because I haven't seen the movie, and I don't like Adam Sandler. I love how Link feels it necessary to explain that the meme is actually about how you lose, not win. Such a dad thing to do. But his actual meme is funny. You can hear the frustration in Stevie's voice when she says she has experienced Link being late in real life. Rhett putting a nature doc on for Barbara isn't nearly as plausible.

It's actually very educating to hear the background stories of these pictures. The next meme is Me explaining to my mom. Link saying good night to his shoes reminds me of when I talk to the spiders which cohabit my house. They are just as responsive. But Rhett really went sophisticated with his version. I'm sure he got lots of laughs in the wood community for that one.

In the last round, the meme to use is "Change my mind". Now, I had no clue about who Steven Crowder was, but Stevie calling him a piece of s**t send me to google things, and what I found explains the comment. (I haven't watched that video yet, and I may not be able to. I'm also not sure if I want to.)

Anyways, let's talk about how Link actually feels about Adam Driver. Why would he even care about whether Adam Driver is hot or not? (If you ask me, not.) I question sometimes, if Link is actually a teenaged girl, and not a dad (pulling out an American Girl Doll in More didn't help)- why else would he ask Lily for an opinion about Adam Driver's hotness? I love Link and his strange mind.

But, despite Link's unexpected revelation, he fails to impress Stevie by using hair as floss - and let's be real, it's hard to top anything involving Rhett's wenis. Rhett wins the game, and the meme of Link with the snake is already in circulating the world wide web.

In More, we get an excercise session with Emily. Link loses the coin flip, and has to endure Jade licking peanut butter off of his lips (which really isn't that much of a punishment). I love how everyone in this video call finds the sight of Link and Jade adorable. I mean, look at Rhett, and Emily just went aww.

I love watching these video calls, even if this probably wasn't the most effective excercise video I've seen (but it was the most entertaining). I love Emily's Alf plushie, and I'm a little creeped out by the One-Eyed Tammy. I am slightly concerned by how impressed Rhett is by the hand trick he learned on TikTok - and even more convinced that TikTok is not good for people's intelligence.

But it's good to see that everyone is doing ok. This More made me feel warm in the heart region, too. 💗 (At least until Link brought up Tammy's eye-socket.)

I'm planning to post a little story about my diy hair situation together with comments on how R&L did Alex's hair on GMM tomorrow. There will be pictures of my hair. It is pretty bold, not completely bald, and probably the coolest it's ever been. But until then, stay safe!
