Have you ever noticed white guys have names like Lenny and black guys have names like Carl? Take it or leave it... The Thread Barbi!

Picture this: You’re at a get together of some kind. A fun, casual social event. Perhaps it’s a party with a meetup group or club you’ve recently joined. Perhaps you’re simply at home with some friends. You want to break the ice and put everyone in a good mood. And suddenly, someone comes up with the perfect idea: “I have the Jackbox Party Pack! Who wants to play Quiplash?” You eagerly say yes. You love Quiplash! It’s a great chance to have some laughs, and also brush up on your own comedic talent; you consider yourself something of an amateur comedian, if you do say so yourself, so it’s always fun and engaging to make some jokes of your own. Everyone takes out their phones and logs into the game, and soon it’s begun. You look at your prompts: they’re ones with lots of potential, such as “If a winning coach gets Gatorade dumped on him, what should a losing coach be dumped with?” Or “A roller coaster you probably shouldn’t ride would be called...”. You pause and think, and come up with a couple of answers you’re pretty proud of. They may not be the greatest comedy ever written, but they’re witty, use some good puns, and all in all, it’s some good work of yours. You’re sure you’ll easily get enough votes to win the round. Finally, your prompt comes; the first one is maybe the roller coaster one. It’s time for everyone to see the jokes you had written! Yours comes up first, and everyone lets out a hearty laugh. You are encouraged! And then, your opponent’s comes up, and it simply says...”I’m Pickle Riiiiiiiiick!!!!” Yes. Your opponent has simply put in a completely out-of-context pop culture meme. In your mind, you can’t help but feel a sense of disdain; that’s literally not even a joke! That took no effort to come up with! And shouldn’t people just plain be sick of hearing stupid memes like that? In less than the half second it took you to have that thought, however, you hear something else which makes your heart sink: the rest of the players are laughing uproariously at your opponent’s answer. Dread dawns on you. They actually LIKE that? A minute later, your worst fear comes true: everyone playing unanimously votes your opponent’s out-of-context pop culture meme to be the winning joke. You can’t help yourself: you say out loud to the entire room: “Really guys? Seriously?” Everyone just kind of shrugs, with someone making some vague comment about how yours was good too. You try not to lose heart. Your second prompt comes up. And this time, your opponent’s joke answer is...”Sempai noticed me!!!!” Yes. Again, it’s not even a joke. It’s a worn-out subcultural meme being thrown in completely out of context. And once again, everyone playing guffaws at this and unanimously votes it to be the winning joke in that round. All your hard work thinking of something comedic, for nothing, because people are just that damn easily amused by tired memes and eager to signal “look at me! I know what that reference is! I’m part of the in crowd!” The next time you hang out with these people, they ask if you want to play Quiplash again. You decline with some vague excuse about how you don’t feel like it. Perhaps you slowly stop hanging out with these people altogether. You beat yourself up a little bit over this: it seems so petty and silly on your part, right? Part of you says that it’s just a game, and anyway, humor is subjective. But another part of you can’t help but think, on some level, that these people are complete and utter tools. A truly moving tale. I feel like this should have been playing as I read

it may have been mentioned in the thread already but people who bump into you and don't even acknowledge your existence Had a lady bump into me 3 times the other day. I was in line checking out and I guess she couldn't wait a minute to get a pack of gum. If she had said excuse me or anything I would have been ok. But nope didn't say a word. The older I get the more I hate the General public.

Oh man, I forgot these Costco bagels are not pre-cut and I only have flimsy plastic knives at work. I tried to cut it and it just rolled off the table.

This is a weird one but the amount of posts that start with "I mean" I know it's probably just me but there you go

Enough so that I schedule my walks round town and trips to the store after the dark comes so that I can avoid people as most stay indoors.

I hate people that jaywalk and don't have the common decency to haul ass across the street when they do so. I think we should be able to run into them.

Since I'm watching the ep of The Simpsons where Marge makes her dessert dogs, dessert foods made to look like non dessert foods. I'm not much of a dessert person other than fruit, so all those do is make me upset that it's not actually the food it looks like. Plus, I'll be tempted to eat them anyway, which would just cause me to get a stomach ache.

That "Super Cool" guy on a Food Network commercial pisses me off.

Hopped in the car this morning and turned the key.............nothing. Trying to start it used so much power that the clock reset to 12:00
Now we gotta call AAA to come out and jump it and then run by the mechanic to make sure nothing is wrong.

My 17 year old son curses too much playing games online with his friends. The Mrs. and I are in our room with the door closed, but he's in the next room over.
Buuuuuut...Some of the stuff he yells is just too funny, so we laugh our heads off at him.
Nothing to really get mad about, just wish he'd dial it down.

When I'm having a pretty good day and my mother starts going on and on about what an absolutely bad day it is. Hmm, that's news to me.

How all the NFL teams that had normal blue colors, went to that dark navy shit.
My hate for the Patriots would probably significantly decrease if they still had the 90s uniforms. But the Patriots, Broncos, Seahawks, and now Titans have navy blue instead of normal blue or the bright blue they used to have.
So many teams use that color blue. There are other shades, god damn it!

seeing the same fans in the front few rows in WWE in the same outfit wind me up more then it should, I think it's the wearing the same outfit again and again feels like they are trying to put themselves over or something

As specific as that situation is, I can relate to it. I'll make some subtle joke, or play on words. Then the other person will answer "Daniel is a douche" and since everyone always shits on Daniel, it gets a big laugh and all the votes!
