Hey look, it’s all my Internet Transformer friends and our Internet Transformers inside jokes.
And now, after all these years, I can finally know what the reference is. I shall at last know peaceful sleep.
At first glance, I always interpret the con badges as SEMME stripes.
given that pretty much every single one of those people showed up later in SEMME, not unreasonable!
“Me Joe not robot fanatic! Me Joe KING!”
So THAT’S what that was about!
What the hell did I just read.
Ah yeah, good question Regalli.
Even now that I know what it’s a reference to, I still don’t get it. Which is the whole point of the joke, which means I do get it, by not getting it.
The metahumor of this is positively Eschereque.
Be careful of He Who Understands Memes. And know that if you understand the memes, the memes also understand you.
See, I always interpreted the “Hungry” as an adjective. Like, they were all saying Joe was about to receive Hungry Talk.
Trying to read that made my ears bleed. I couldn’t finish, it hurt to much. I still don’t get the joke, and I don’t want to get it badly enough to subject myself to that again.
I have to admit I didnt have the attention span to try to understand it either. But its probably one of those conventions where people either know each other from before or make friends quickly, in-jokes and catchphrases only they understand are the norm in any close-knit group.
David,
I take your “hungry” talk for you and raise you You lived like a warrior ans died to an hero.
Next move?
I don’t get it and your reference link isn’t working anymore.
Same. It doesn’t even work on ARchive.org
I’m from the future!
In the future, the link is still broken.
Is that Dina sans hat?
