If clever and original enough, someone from an outside perspective will want to learn more about the game just to get the joke. (See: Heck the bed)

An example of this is Tribes: Ascend. The latest sequel to the Tribes franchise. The players of that game created a metric barge full of memes relating to inside jokes and ongoing themes from the other games. It surged the player base and actually helped cultivate their standing numbers. Memes can be a good thing, if you take the time to make them.

This though..... is just bad. Rehashing of years old macro images that half the people are not even using in the correct context. Yes context is everything. It is the reason they were funny in the first place. I'm not saying don't have fun. I'm just imploring people to step back and appreciate the idea of what makes memes funny. A big part is creating your own.
If you want proper meme's to advertise the game, and meme's which are funny (to you).... go and create your own thread. Stop clogging up this one with pointless snob comments. It's funny because in real life you wouldnt walk into a comedy bar and stop everyone from laughing to say "this comedian isnt funny, so dont tell any more jokes".

Get a life
