Meme Monday (last of 2018)

For Meme Monday #2, I thought what better than Sandra Bullock’s Birdbox memes that are immensely popular on social media right now. I saw Ellen interview Sandra, and then all I saw trending on the internet were these memes.

In Birdbox, Sandra as a mother, puts on a blindfold to stop herself from seeing dead bodies, or any sights of gore. It is depicted that even looking at those things can probably kill you.

Even with such a serious setup, the movie has spawned a barrage of memes, each funnier than the next. Here is one I saw referenced in an Indian Express article that I loved the most:

But the memes seem to have taken over, than the general reviews online. Makes sense if 45 million people have been streaming the movie on Netflix. Incidentally, this is the first time Netflix have revealed viewing numbers for anything that they showcase. Some people are wondering how it could be that there is a flood of funny memes for a horror movie, and conjuring theories that would explain it. The most popular one is that Netflix is generating buzz around the movie by posting the memes through smaller Twitter accounts. Personally, I’m not sure that Netflix would do such a thing.

But, it made for a fun, and informative little #memeMonday post. 😉

Meme Monday #1

This is new, right? Considering how much I personally love memes, I’m surprised why I did not think of this sooner. 😛

I am going to post a funny meme, or article or reference on Mondays so that we all can have a happy, light start to the week. It would, in turn, give us the patience and energy to face the week head on, or so one can hope.

Here is the first meme for Vintage Sapience’s Meme Monday #VSMM :

I was just watching the Friends re-run, as any normal person would do, and absolutely loved this scene. So before Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory came and propagated his logic for the choice of his seat on the sofa, Joey had the same very good reasoning for where his dear Barcalounger Rosita would go. Sheldon counts almost exactly the same reasons for his choice of seat on the sofa in the living room.

Hope you enjoyed this change from the normal posting routine!
