Is “Dude, did you just admit to a crime?” our best meme?

If we count pre-Resetera stuff from GAF then I vote for green represents porn noises
That's the one.
Era is generally not conducive to generating memes. Moderation is too tight to allow the amount of silliness and nonsense required for more memes.
Exactly.

There are so many threads of users with serious medical issues posting it about here.
I just know my take was that those threads were created for the singular purpose of getting laughs. Got to look at the context.
Old GAF was great because it didn't take itself too seriously and most "here's my problem" threads usually evolved into bad MS Paint drawings and damn good photoshops.
I have legit been told that by other mods. It is what it is.
Yea, I dunno if there was a specific memeable moment from this, but it's absolutely the funniest thread on here.
The audacity of these fucks to pay me for twiddling my thumbs. I will get back at them by refusing to get paid.
Here's a search for all the times it was posted on twitter before 2019.It came from this thread here.
Um, is it normal for someone to casually admit to pirating stuff?
I was at a work meeting about 50 minutes ago, and during the lead up into it we were all talking about how our Thanksgiving break went. We talked about traveling and activities, and I brought up how I basically spent the entire break playing DQXI on the Switch. Then, one of my co-workers said...www.resetera.com
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, Toku from GAF was one of the first ones I recall to start using the "white guy blinking" gif. I guess that's not really 'starting' a meme, but that shit was used a lot in that timespan.

Blinking White Guy
Drew Scanlon Reaction, also known as Blinking White Guy, is a GIF of Drew Scanlon, video editor and podcaster at video game website Giant Bomb. The GIF of Scanlon is used as a reaction image capturing feeling slightly insulted or confused.
Yeah, but it's not like I referenced Twitter (or even thought of it) when creating the thread. It was an actual thing I asked at the time that came out of my incredulousness.
I'm really curious why this one makes you upset. That's kinda weird.
YES. I died reading that shit while the thread was still new. Holy fuck that was good.
This crime one is okish but sex noises is just top

It tends to get passed off as an in game quote, despite the line not being in the game.
There was one about a guy seeing a girl turn around and look at him in class, had diagrams too, on gaf. Not sure if a meme came out of it...
Yes, that's the point lol.
Green waves/Spidey and the Final Fantasy "I'm an expert on Japanese Culture" one are my personal favourites.
Edit: and the 30 dollar Italian meal.

Your reaction to it making it even funnier tbh

I don't think you can truly cut it off at Gaf/Era. The community here was the gaf community do hard to have a hard fork there.
I'll always have a place in my heart for $30 italian meal, porn noises, ellie we really are the last of us (less of a meme than just a good thread), "i'm an expert.

I'm still curious if that had anything to do with WoW. Huhuran was regularly called Huhu, and she was a wasp that you fight in a hive.
Maybe I'm looking too much into that but I always thought that might be it. I mean the guy was obviously faking it but still.
Even if I was offered one at the time, I don't think I would've accepted it. I felt ganged up on in that thread. 😔
Nowadays I'm far enough removed from it to think back and laugh at the whole thing, but yeah.
Does anyone seriously believe it was an in game quote? Literally the first page in that specific thread was taking the piss out of the OP with their own iteration of "you know Ellie…".
And that's what the thread became. And it still gets meme'd here.
But hey, you find it super pathetic (for whatever reason) and unfunny. It's okay :)
No they don't. OP just has a blind spot in their sense of humour.

I remember seeing that image chiding up in every food thread without fail, that one has kinda died out.
thinking about it old place was so much funnier. era is pretty dry.
i have been banned on here like 7 times for things that were clearly meant as a joke.
Neither are most memes.
I thought it was a pretty good thread, funny concept, and the thread added to it by trying to come up with other examples.

I like stuff that is genuinely funny. The fake TLOU quote isn't funny.
It's not passed of as an in game quote. It's a line that's so incredibly stupid that you'd have to be a moron to think it's in the game.
Every time it's posted some dipshit goes "OMG that's a real line from the game?!" and then you get to laugh at that person.
Are you just going to repeat that same answer over and over?
That thread just made me feel a bit sad. That person was genuinely chuffed about their meal.
OP
OP
That's how it feels. This thread prompting the community to post memes we find funny and this dude tryna gatekeep his own thread 😂😂
I am glad other people chuckle at that meme.
OP
OP
Not all of us like the same things, it would be boring if that was the case.
Some people find it hilarious, I just find it cringey.
