Just a Face and a Caption: Interrupting Meme

This is just a picture of Kanye holding a microphone that has been in the page for over a decade and requires knowing the context to work. Do people even remember this?

I know what meme is coming from. But is still a JAFAAC. Pull

Pull. I don't even know the image's context.

Pull.

It's riffing on Kanye getting up on stage and interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the VMAs to praise Beyonce's video that didn't win. Link for context. I get it and think it's amusing, but something that's more clear would be preferable.

Maybe something based on the Reveangance Status meme, with Jetstream Sam interrupting some random thing could work?

Or would that be JAFAAC too?

Edit: Making an image which I think will work

Edit 2: done

Anime is My Hero Academia, interrupter is a Roblox character

Wow, this thread is a real "I feel old" moment because interrupting Kanye was everywhere from 2009-2010.

I am not sure if the recognizability will ever really be 100% as Memetic Mutation is YMMV. , for example, does less for me than the current does. I wonder if we can just stick Kanye somewhere out of place (maybe paired with a shot of the VMA's to show the origin of the meme but that might be handholdy).

Pull. Not convinced on the Roblox/whatever meme, what does the text look like at wiki size?

Not bad, I could go for that.

Same

is good in concept, I wish there was a version where the interrupter didn't just look like a black blob to me. He's so dark I can barely even tell he's a Roblox guy.

I can see it fine, but people who use low brightness or have vision problems might not be able to, so I made a slightly higher contrast version. Sorry if the quality is bad, I made it on my phone.

No, the quality's fine to me.

Even better.

14's good, but I'd like to see some other suggestions because I can't tell if "what the hell are you watching" is an established Roblox meme or not — I'm unfamiliar with the inner memetic logistics of the game.

"What the hell are you watching" alone is a meme in itself I think, but if that doesn't work, then we can stick to the original Kanye interrupting things meme.

• 18.2:

I pick 14 because I think the Kanye meme’s run its course.

18.2 for me, since I feel like it's the one where the meme stands out most against the background.

I feel like the suggestions in 18 verge on violating the ban on Image Macros as page images. Frankly I'm almost inclined to call BUPKIS.

To elaborate on the meme part, what I made is pretty much an amalgamation of memes.

The X Status meme where something interrupts a random thing, now in the form of Roblox Status.

The anti anime meme, which is well known satire of people who think anime is nothing but porn

"What the hell are you doing" and its variants

The Robloxian purgers under whatever name they go by, frequently appearing in raids, and wearing uniforms that resemble something you'd see in the military or law enforcement. A well known example is Tankfish's Chaos Legion, and his Crime Uproot Ministry.

18.2 is better, if it doesn't violate any rules.

Thank you for the explanation, it helps a lot. But IMHO, if an image needs a load of context to explain why it's a good image, even if it's explaining what's happening in the image, then it's not a good fit. Based on the explanation, the image works for people who, for the most part, have a vast knowledge of Roblox as a game, which some do not (myself included). I can understand the anti-anime meme since I do watch anime, but not much else.

It's just the latter meme that needs explanation.

Besides, there's already a meme of the SWAT or the military breaking in to attack something "cringe" or utterly degenerate and the character does give off those vibes.
