      I have a theory about domain specific jokes. I think they are only funny to novices because everything is still novel to them. I’m not an animator but I am a programmer, and I can see plainly that like 97% of programming memes display some fundamental misunderstanding of core concepts or just generally really trivial shit.

      It’s like someone who just learned about multiplication posting “when the 6 x 5 = 35 🫨🤯”

      Animation memes aren’t “funny” memes, they’re memes in the sense of an idea that spreads and replicates. They’re memes because multiple people make their own versions of the animation and post it. The joke in this post is that the person thinks animation memes are supposed to be funny like shitpost memes, when that’s not the point of them.

      Oh yeah, just to clarify I’m talking about animation memes like this (warning: YouTube link) not people making memes talking about animation.

    Ok, but when did you see the last animation meme? I don’t recall seeing a single one.

    And this is a shit post to me since I cannot see anyone in their right mind saying any of this.
