These jokes are the new banderas.gif. An outdated meme that has been played out so many times it's lost all meaning. The jokes peaked with the "Fedoras of OK Cupid" tumblr. It was funny at the time, over a year ago. These jokes have become stale and outdated.

Do people here honestly interact with people like the stereotypical fedora nerd on a regular basis? Personally I'm "lucky" to notice one guy a week wearing a fedora when I'm out and about. I have never once heard somebody say the words "m'lady" in real life. The guys who I've actually seen wearing fedoras don't look like they've actually spoken to a woman before in the first place, let alone harassing them on a daily basis. These jokes are making fun of people that barely exist in society. How are they funny or relevant?

Personally I'm tired of seeing unfunny idiocy like "he should have tipped his fedora" and "m'lady" in literally every single topic involving even the most mundane male/female interaction and I want to see it stop.

PS: Saying "Thirst", "The thirst is real" or any other stupid variant is equally as bad

Did someone get you with one?

 

[Angry Grimace]

You just realized now that literally every internet meme gets run into the ground within a couple weeks?

[Alcotholic]

A fedora would say something like this.

 

[reKon]

yeah it's only basic bitches that jokingly use m'lady'

*Tips Fedora*

 

[PhoenixDark]

I don't find them funny, but enjoy the over saturation simply because I think the m'lady/fedora crowd needs to be shamed as much as possible.

 

[SteveWinwood]

no shit

 

[Makai]

I don't think I've ever heard someone say "m'lady." Fedoras are a pretty rare sight, too. It's a bizarre stereotype.

 

[Stinkles]

Thank god you're here to police contemporary humor.

 

[Riki]

Memes become less funny the more they are used?
Huh...

 

[Volimar]

Don't be silly.

They were never funny.

I'm not too happy about memes used to insult people or make sweeping generalizations,,,

Man, what the fuck is up with you people trying to change the way people want to express themselves?

 

[blame space]

most jokes are played out and not funny. this is NeoGAF.com.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

more like fedorka, amirite?

 

[CountAntonius]

I find them annoying because people on here tend to use them as a way to insult or discredit someone's opinion.

This is NeoGaf.

 

[ZeroGravity]

It's actually pretty funny that these are only recently starting to be used in GAF. This shit's been going around 4chan forever ago.

 

[narcosis219]

Man, what the fuck is up with you people trying to change the way people want to express themselves?

Why do you want to change the way people who want to change the way people express themselves want to express themselves?

 

[Gorillaz]

[WorldStar]

threads like this suck

 

[Necromanti]

M'lady doth protest too much, methinks.

It's way better than people misusing the word "literally".

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

I blame all the lame socially awkward relationship threads we've had lately. Half of them probably aren't even real.

OP seems to be saltier than the food m'lady cooks for me. You should take some sodium pills, I got them for myself last summer after I started sweating a lot, which was mainly due to wearing a fedora through summer. This also made me very thirsty, as it was very humid, to the point of making me euphoric.

 

[cubicle47b]

Yeah, that shit is terrible. I work right next to my university's CS department and haven't noticed any people wearing fedoras or acting like that.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Moderators pls respond and make NeoGAF a better place.

[Crayons]

I agree OP

I do think that reply rates are still funny though

 

[Slayven]

I don't find them funny, but enjoy the over saturation simply because I think the m'lady/fedora crowd needs to be shamed as much as possible.

I will drink to that.

The definition just changed recently to include using it in the new method.

Language evolves literally every day.

Is this post in support of played-out memes or guys who wear fedoras?

 

[Kazerei]

I blame this on the myriad of awkward relationship advice threads that keeping popping up on GAF.

Yeah this. I'm slow.

 

[JBourne]

You're played out and not funny.


All jokes are dumb.

 

[AppleMIX]

It wasn't funny to begin with.

Wow. Is nothing sacred?

 

[Devolution]

The jokes won't go away as long as OT remains a place for people to vocalize their inability to engage with half the population.

[Christine]

I second the motion. Now all we need is a vote and it shall become the solemn law of NeoGAF.

 

[Herr K]

OP, how many fedoras are stored in your closet?

It's silly to get mad over this.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

There's enough funny uses of these that I think they should stay for a little while longer.

My shipment of Devo Bathwater never arrived.
