Like I said: Pyrrha's death, Yang's arm and "Edgy" jokes are Discredited Memes now because the FNDM ran them into the ground within two months

And who decides if a joke is run to the ground or not? You?

A joke can be considered run into the ground if people use the joke so much so often, which is exactly what happened to those 3 memes. They're not really original or creative at this point. They're overused to an obnoxious extent. I know the show's on break, but I'm sure theirs enough material and jokes out there to use beyond recycling the same 3 memes over and over and over again.

...Well, at least everyone isn't talking about the "Useless Blake" joke.

Then it's time move forward with a whole bunch of new...stuff.

Rwby herself is a likeable version of the little red hood. Though she wears a long black hood, it shows she's got style and goes against the standard.

The amount of black on her outfit doesn't match her at all, but that's why she's the best. Black is the best.

[up]There was one 2 pages ago, it got its credit and we moved on.

[up][up]We got one of those jokes a few pages back.

All that's missing is "Weiss is a useless lesbian", "Entire team", and "Nora breaking legs".

dRoy: When the FNDM on tumblr, facebook, youtube and know your meme all hate it, the joke is dead.

[up]All of those ones aren't commonly used though

[up][up] And who are you to decide if something is obnoxious or not?

[up] You have any objective, statistics backing them up, or are you just pulling that out of thin air?

Don't get me wrong, I understand that everyone has different taste and it's perfectly understandable if you don't like the jokes. But just because you and few other people don't like it, it doesn't make the jokes Discredited Meme, especially if it keeps on going.

I find it hard to believe that dead Pyrrha and Yang losing an arm jokes are discredited since RTX has shown me that people are still making jokes about those two memes with cosplays and people are still don't seem to be sick of the joke yet. Which surprises me since I would think by now people would be sick of it after several months.

You know what, to hell with it. I'm just going to ignore any Yang/Pyrrha/Adam joke or reference in this thread.... Or I'll just quit this thread till October 23rd if people don't stop, because those jokes are so dead and unfunny anymore.

Also dRoy: I don't like seeing the same joke every other page. That's why I'm getting annoyed with them. Because people think bringing it up every two pages makes it funnier.

[up]This. Some of you may not be sick of it, but I'd prefer if the FNDM could come up with some better, new material then lazily recycling the same meme over and over and over again like what's been happening with Yang's arm, Pyrrha's death, and Adam being 'edgy'. Surely theirs something else we could talk about or joke about then recycle those 3 memes.

[up][up]Nobody here thinks that "bringing it up every two pages makes it funnier". People who makes those jokes do that because they find the jokes amusing. You can like and dislike whatever kind of jokes you want, but you don't get to tell if a joke is discredited or not just because you don't like it.

The jokes are not politically incorrect or malicious towards any real people. They are perfectly acceptable, if you don't like them, you can just ignore those.

Here's hoping that statement is civil and reasonable enough.

I won't say it's discredited, but that's because it clearly isn't since if it were, you'd see a stronger backlash against it. And unfortunately, that's not the case at all. -_-

Please do. It's not that I don't enjoy pitch black jokes poking fun at serious moments in stories sometimes, but it they can get old after awhile if people use them so much.

Hoping that Volume 4 won't have any moments that are serious & dramatic, but aren't narmy, but still somehow get mocked mercilessly by the FNDM. Then again, that's wishful thinking. -_-

Dark? Dark in what sense? There's not a lot to look forward to in that side of things, the most likely thing is that there'll be a re-discover hope arc for the three main heroes: Weiss, Yang, and "Blake".

While Rwby goes through all the bad stuff with R. N. and J....emotional turmoil is the bonus prize for this season book. Bring on the seriousness that only everyone else will take as such.

Weiss seems like the only one who'll end up being hopeful by the end of this Volume. Blake's still running away, Yang's still depressed, and RNJR's likely not gonna get off easy. Weiss will have her hardships, but odds are she'll break free from Atlas before the volume's over.

I feel like when people are making the jokes solely to annoy people, rather than because anyone actually finds it funny the joke is dead.

Though at least it's better than the guy who kept making Lafter got drilled jokes from Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans.

I find the jokes hilarious and am more annoyed by the complaints that happen every time a joke is made. Ignoring the jokes would be better because complaining won't achieve anything.
