First meme dump in nearly a month

I haven't been very good lately at scouring through the trash on 9-gag in order to find something good to bring to you.

9-gag has been inundated with a ton of politics and previously it was all Russia or Ukraine propaganda. The community is supposed to be self-moderating via votes but lately it almost seems as though 9gag is skirting the system in order to get the message of whoever owns it out there. I don't know if that is true but almost all political or Ukraine posts are filled with comments stating that they are sick and tired of this crap invading a meme site but then again, we don't have to look at it do we?

So 9-gag has been considerably less fun lately but there are some gems in there that made me laugh or had some sort of relevance to my own life and here they are!

I'm a redneck when it comes to beer. I'm also quite frugal when it comes to something that I don't think even tastes very good but hey! I'm in it for the alcohol and good times. Here in Vietnam craft beers seem to be featured on a regular basis despite the fact that almost no one even wants it. Some places intentionally ONLY stock craft beers and ignore cheap and local lagers. This is a sure-fire way to get me to not hang out at your bar. The few times I have delved into craft beers over here I have left not understanding why a craft beer costs 5 times as much as a "regular beer." I don't find them tasty and the price is unjustified.

I've never been to Europe but I have heard stories about how they are not strangers to booze over there either. I have a couple of friends here that drink vodka like it is water and it is just amusing to me that a country would have vodka in what appears to be a child's juice box.

This is not comedy of course but instead something that makes you feel apathetic about the world's leaders and how any nation is moving forward. I distanced myself from politics, especially USA ones, quite some time ago. Even though I don't really care who is running a country as long as my passport remains valid these points are still kind of scary and unfortunately, likely very true. It should be noted that reposts of Tweets are frowned upon in 9gag but since I do not use Twitter I would never see these things otherwise.

I recently started watching Trailer Park Boys again from the start even though I have seen all the episodes. Ricky is an absolutely amazing character and his words of wisdom are one of the main reasons why I like the show. Plus I am a big believer in "self smarts" rather than something like a college education.

I may have posted this one already but I want you to try to read that and not hear David Attenborough's voice. This one also relates to booze but while I don't do it very often anymore there was a time where I would get near blackout drunk every night, wake up in my house (thankfully) and have no recollection of how it is that I got back there. Normally there would be some takeout containers in the living room with friend stuff that I don't remember eating. I try to live a bit more responsibly these days and limit my intake to 4 days a week and less than 8 drinks on those 4 days. Only in my world would this be considered an accomplishment.

Although this is not technically a meme it has been making the rounds on 9gag anyway and the comments section on them are pure gold. I don't know what drives Hollywood to do stuff like this especially since all of the all-girl remakes have bombed hard. The most memorable of which was the Ghostbusters girl power remix and despite the negative press I watched it anyway and yes, it is just as bad as people have suggested. Of course the makers of the film will immediately blame the patriarchy or some other such nonsense but honestly, why would they try to do this to legendary films? I don't even want them to remake Fight Club at all. It is just begging for failure.

Alright, that's gonna god it and sorry that the funny just wasn't really there this time around. I blame the fact that 9gag has become yet another propaganda outlet and people need to get back to focusing on the funny. If I wanted to argue with strangers on the internet about politics, I would use Facebook.
