About
Meme Dad is an advice animal image macro series featuring a photograph of a man laughing to the verge of tears. The captions in the series portray various remarks made by Meme Dad about various memes, with the top caption usually following the format “Oh X”, with X being the meme’s name (for example, “Oh Wonka”) and bottom caption being a realisation about the meme (for example, “you’re always so sarcastic”).Origin
The image of the laughing man (shown below, left)was submitted to the /r/Funny subreddit[1] on June 1st, 2012 in a thread titled “My dad recently discovered memes. He’s 38 and he’s laughing so hard that he’s crying.” The thread hit the front page, gaining more than 16,600 upotes, 1,700 points overall and 1,300 comments prior to being archived. The same day, Redditor hiddenxninja2 submitted an image macro version of the photo titled “New Meme Dad” (shown below, right) to the Advice Animals subreddit[11] the same day, adding a caption depicting the man’s perceived response to Socially Awkward Penguin. The post only received 7 upvotes and 2 points overall.
Haha....these are great. But mainly because they remind me of all the funny memes.
