    Yeah. I think it comes from different experiences and different associations with those experiences

    Here’s what I think The Funny here actually is: It subverts the expectation of the reader up front (as long as they are familiar with «facts and easter eggs» images that use this similar format) by showing them this format, and then presenting them with something beyond blatantly obvious

    Here’s what my brain associated this meme with: Yknow that time when everyone and their mother used facebook? There were pages that kept posting fun facts about marvel and they looked exactly like this. I think this image is making fun of them running out of actual facts

      Well put. I appreciate you taking time to explain this. I never saw this meme template being used or over-used, so I suppose I don’t have an experience or memory to associate it with.
