Meme Analysis: Confused Cat

meme-nexus (47)in #meme • 7 years ago

After 3 long days, I'm back at it again with the Analyses, and I got something special for you all tonight. That's right, it one of the most predominant faces of meme culture today; Cats.

Yep... the meme where people take random low-quality pictures/videos of their cat and think its funny enough to put on the internet. In this case, we are going to look at the cat that has only been known as "Confused Cat".

Yep. That's it. It's rarely even used outside of itself as a reaction image. We are looking at one independent meme.

Apparently the cat in the photo made that case because it was presented with a banana.

And thus this video was created. It's very artsy:

Now it's time for category placement. Memes are divided into 3 categories. The first one is wholesome. Wholesome memes are warm, thoughtful memes that give the veiwer positive feelings besides the amusment. You know, like veterans coming home, memes that boosts your self asteem by saying how great the "person viewing this" is. And dogs, cats, and other cute shit.
Next is Dank memes, which are truly the backbone memage. Dank memes tend to rely on creativity, shock, irony, or even flat stupidity for comedic value, often using overused meme templates.

Lastly, we get to the cancer memes. There's no way to better explain them than saying its funny cause its unexpected, yet has little to no originality. It takes a higher levels of chromosomes to truly perfect the art of cancerous memes. Take what you will from that, but these include but not limited to the 🅱 emoji, any meme ironically still using Harambe, any meme unironically still using Harambe, and any kind of shitposting.

For this meme... it really doesn't fit into any of these. It's more of an independent reaction image. You know, something to use as a comment if someone posts something strange.

So yep, it's both a meme, and not a meme.

Fuck my life am I really putting this much fucking thought into a cat picture?
