Many people think the Star Wars prequels were a waste of time. Others, however, believe that funny memes make it all worthwhile. Thankfully, the internet never allows something funny to happen without recreating the funny thing over and over ad infinitum until it’s no longer funny. Then, occasionally, it gets funny again. Lastly, it’s forever part of our psyche. That’s what a meme is, folks. It’s a word that gets repeated so much that it becomes a mere sound without meaning. Voice without reason. Symbols that signify nothing. Out, out brief candle. Anyway, they’re still funny and related.
