Is Apu objectively worst meme yet?

>>35140129
i don't think a meme can be objective.

i'm just sitting here waiting for the rage comic revival

>>35140212
>rage comic revival
Please no.

It's funny, in 2012 wojack hadn't developed all the nuances he has now, and Pepe was literally 1/1000th of what he is now. Think "feels bad man"

pepe wasn't even pepe (except to those who had looked into boys club or whatever the comic he came from was called), he was mostly "sadfrog" or just "feels good/bad man"

this genuinly makes me tear up.

>>35140314
There was smug Pepe too but he was called lithiumfrog or smugfrog and was only contained to /tv/ and a relatively obscure meme even there.

Wojak was called feel or feelsguy.

>>35140129
I don't know man, the name kind of sucks but Apu is alright in my book. Can't help but feel bad for the little guy; he never really had a chance.

>>35140129
He was funny at first and had many good variants, but I don't really like him anymore.

>>35140129
I like it because I can relate.

agrii

>>35140663
yeah, this one was dramatic. i took a year or so break from /r9k/ and when i came back everybody was calling him wojak and nobody seemed to question it

>>35140143
That made me audibly laugh

>>35140129
No, you're thinking of the heterosexual robot meme.

>>35140951
>troll dad on /b/
what do you mean by this

Apu posting is top tier along with Wojak, Pepe and Hijack posting.
How did we end up calling him Apu? For a while, I believe he was called Helper.

>>35140314
really pepe/wojak didn't become "characters" until recently. within the last 3 (?) years for sure.

up to that point they were recognized as memes, but they didn't need "names" because they were more clearly tied to whatever emotion/feel they were intended to convey, which was always context-dependent.

so they never needed to be called wojak or pepe because nobody ever felt the need to refer to them by given names, they were just collectively understood symbols for sadness, angst, malaise, etc.

you see this kind of stuff taken to an extreme with the present interest (apparently unironic) in "pepe lore" and stuff like that. i assume /pol/ and their autistic meme cargo cult thing has a lot to do with this, but i think people have been trying to build coherent identities for pepe/wojak for years now (where they used to be unnecessary) and i'm not entirely sure why things changed

>>35141044
i don't mind the images but it's bizarre to see all the threads where anons willingly roleplay as retarded frogs and post the same ~10 images
once the novelty of this thing wears off it's gonna look as retarded as "dolan" shit looks to us now

>>35141141
I always called him fucktard pepe

god what the fuck is up with that comic

>>35141141
He's originally from Ylilauta and his original name is Apu Apustaja, which translates to Help Helpper (sic). Then he was shortened to Helper.

I think they really started to develop into "characters" 3 years ago, at least on /r9k/. I've been here actively since late 2011 and I think it wasn't until early 2014 when people started to post fan fiction about the two memes. The name Pepe took off on /r9k/ in 2013 or late 2012 and Wojak followed in 2013-2014.

>once the novelty of this thing wears off it's gonna look as retarded as "dolan" shit looks to us now
Exactly.

No, this one's the worst meme.

I like Apustaja, but like many other Finnish memes it works way better in Finnish language.

Don't insult our new national treasure.

>>35141582
Is it like with Quran regular languages can not represent the beauty and richness of it.

>>35141618
I'm not that anon, but yes, you could say that.

I don't know anything about that, but I guess it's more like when japs do fart jokes. Jap culture is very formal and about manners, so little dirty stuff like farts is the source outrageous humor. Same thing goes with Finns; their culture is about leaving others alone and minding your own business, so having someone babble retarded typos and blurbing out unspoken truths is considered comedy gold.

Fuck, that made me lol irl desu senpai

I thoughr his name was Helper.

Im so behind on my memes, I hope I dont get my meme license revoked

His name is Apu Apustaja which is Help Helper when translated to inferior gaijin language.

>>35145179
his name is retard pepe ooooo

>>35141173

>meme cargo cult

kek

Please don't bring shitty finnish memes to here too. They always work like chinese torture: they spam that same image everyday, and when you finally giggle at it after months or even years of posting, they think it's a successful meme.

>>35140314
I remember there was a subreddit with a ton of edgy rage comics like this

>apu
i thought his name was helper

>>35140129
No, the "praise kek" faggotry from /pol/ aka reddit is much worse.
