The lifespan of a meme.

Last week, SNL did a parody of this scene, which was brilliant, and doesn’t seem to be online reliably anywhere right now. Some think it’s a rights issue with the music, my guess is guns and shootings aren’t funny to everyone at the moment. No matter, the meme presses on.
Local dork Nick Faber made a few parodies of the parody, this being his best effort:
Lauren brought the appropriate level of cutesy and girlish charm:
Jason schooled us in audio editing:
A few other non-friends whipped out these parodies, but none of them really “got” the level of whimsy that was called for. (The Departed? Full Metal Jacket? Really?) And then for some reason I decided to piss all over it:
The meme is now over. I hope you enjoyed it.
