[QUOTE=Captain Carrot] Yeah, the idea is the combination of the lolcat-caption and the picture. Speaking lolcat ordinarily is just fucking stupid. [/QUOTE] IA RY’LYEH! ---

I like lolcats but it’s been diluted by people posting pictures of un-captioned cats (I fucking hate cats) and people posting like bigger idiots than usual. **There’s a reason the formula works, people.** ---

I believe [this graph](http://xkcd.com/231/) may explain the behaviour of otherwise intelligent folks w.r.t. lolcatz (for the record, I enjoy the pictures and the stylistic mimicry for thread titles etc. doesn’t bother me). ---

[QUOTE=pulykamell] The lolcatz-speak is certainly way overused, but lolcatz are goddamn funny, and I don’t even own any cats or have any special affection for them. It’s one of those love or hate things. OP hates them and doesn’t see the humor. I think they’re uproariously funny. YMMV. But no, you won’t catch me typing in lolcatz-speak [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Captain Carrot] Yeah, the idea is the combination of the lolcat-caption and the picture. Speaking lolcat ordinarily is just fucking stupid. [/QUOTE] Besides, the combination of cat photos and funny captions is done better (and has been done longer) at the [MyCatHatesYou](http://www.mycathatesyou.com/) web-site. As for me, I thought the lolowlz fad was funnier for some weird reason. ---

It wouldn’t be so bad, except the SDMB is always about 18 months behind on played-out internet jokes. I still read “soviet russia” and “ant overlord” jokes here…that shit hasn’t been funny in years. ---

“I can has” is especially annoying because people put it in thread titles, where you have to read it over and over again, every time you scan a forum. “I can has Prison Break” wasn’t funny the first time I read it, and it _damn_ sure won’t be funny the 52nd time after the next person who comments on Prison Break bumps the thread. Then the misery compounds when people put it in Pit threads. By posting in this thread, I’m bumping yet another cloying annoying “I can has” to the top of the Pit. Fuck this crap. ---

[QUOTE=micahjn] It wouldn’t be so bad, except the SDMB is always about 18 months behind on played-out internet jokes. [/QUOTE] That is a very astute observation. I keep expecting someone to post “Dy-no-miiiite!” In high school, there was always that one kid who didn’t let go of the inside jokes and tag lines until well after they played out. Even after you gave him an atomic wedgie and upended him into a garbage can, he’d try some stale Steve Martin line. I think the SDMB is filled with such wild and crazy guys. ---
