Slow clap. Chef’s kiss. No notes.

Meme perfection.

Ok, hang in there this is going to be some alt tag.

It is the series of panels from American Chopper where the (I think) father and son are yelling at each other. It’s a surprisingly effective framework for memes representing some kind of interpersonal conflict or disagreement. In this case, it is being used to evaluate itself.

Panel 1: Father (pointing angrily)

“American Chopper memes are compelling rhetorical devices that could be taught in schools!”

Panel 2: Son (responding angrily)

“They are impenetrable walls of text serving only as exceedingly dry in-jokes for the recherché subcultures already familiar with their subjects!”

Panel 3: Father (responding angrily)

“They brilliantly employ American Chopper as a low-brow "carrier wave" to entice people to read about ideas they otherwise wouldn't!”

Panel 4: Son (throwing a chair)

“THEY HAVE NONE OF THE BREVITY AND ENERGY OF GOOD MEMES, AND THEY SUBSTITUTE FAUX-ACADEMIC LOGORRHEA FOR WIT!”

Panel 5: Father (pointing angrily again)

“THIS IS THE ONLY MEME FORMAT THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE EXISTENCE OF COMPETING INFORMATION, AND AS SUCH IT IS THE ONLY FORMAT SUITED TO THE COMPLEXITY OF OUR WORLD!”
