Warning: cringe-worthy memes ahead.

Mutant Blobs was supposedly full of memes as well but I don't think I ever noticed them after the second or third billboard. Its basically all background filler that's easy to ignore. I remember a website running a "my favorite memes" story about Mutant Blobs and I didn't recognize a single one
 
Yeah, the memes were dumb. There should be an option to remove them. Combat seems only fun in co-op, and platforming seems only possible alone. Odd game.

Jesus christ. They are just references in the background.

How did you people cope when tv shows referenced movies?

i yell at gaf about them.

they're pretty distracting, but not necessarily bad. i just find it a bummer since the game's style is strong enough to stand out on its own, whereas it feels like a bunch of references is something a lesser game would use as a crutch.
 
Plastering a bunch of memes all over the scenery just shows lack of creativity. Instead of coming up with your own jokes, why not grab something off the internet? you guys know the internet right? haha, that stupid internet.

A reference in itself is not funny.

I think you have yet to enter the LANGZONE! Beep, Beep (and then I took an arrow to the knee)!

Meme's aside the game is very creative and extremely fun.

I can deal with stupid memes as long as the game is fun.
 
The memes might be a bit overdone, but you guys are overreacting. The charm of the memes in Mutant Blobs was that you mostly didn't even notice them. They were very subtle, but funny and good references. The memes in this game seem a bit overkill and too 'in your face' since people probably said they liked the ones in Mutant Blobs and they just added more because of that, but it's not like the memes ruin the game.

Not only that but half those memes are old and tired now. Imagine playing that game in a year. Might as well have lolcats and the dancing baby in it. Terrible.

You guys do realize that there are actually funny jokes in the dialogue, right? The memes in the background are just eyecandy.
 
Wow. My mind has been blown. I've always thought that Chris Johnson looks like Alex Navarro and I've said as much in some baseball thread somewhere. For Vinny to make that connection with the videogame version of Chris Johnson is a testament to The Show.
 
I was nearly in tears when Vinny kept pitching the balls at the batter's face. So good, I should give the Show a go. Don't watch baseball but I don't watch soccer either and I love the FIfa games so one would imagine there could be a similar enjoyment here.
