(I must admit I don't get why they ported The Office to the USA - I mean, it already sucked compared to earlier series' that did the same or similar material much better - such as Drop the Dead Donkey - and while a US remake that totally misses the point/humour on a lot of it is very meta, I wouldn't have put money into the production.)

[ExplosionMare 25,553]

I feel like a lot of US stuff these days is overly meta

[CypherHoof 26,483]

We must consult... the meta meter

[DubWolf 19,857]

*comes back*

I don’t understand what meta is  

[ExplosionMare 25,553]

Humor that pokes fun at society or a certain audience 

[DubWolf 19,857]

Hmmm ohhhh

[ExplosionMare 25,553]

It’s fun if it isn’t overused.

(I forgot to mention it can also contain some pop culture references, but I think those usually fall into their own category of humor)

I guess I need more examples to be familiar with it  

[CypherHoof 26,483]

the core of "meta" is that it is self-referential; meta-data is data ABOUT data; meta reviews review other reviews, and meta-humour is humour about humour, in the style of that original humour.

 

[DubWolf 19,857]

Riiiiight yes I'm aware of meta-data  . Makes sense

I think a good example of just meta humor is anytime there’s a stereotypical millennial child on TV or there’s some sort of political reference. Not all references are that extreme, most of them just reference very basic attitudes of whatever the reference is trying to point out. There’s another example w/FNAF 3 and how it’s an attraction built on all the horror franchising of Freddy Fazbear’s. In a way it pokes fun at all the merchandizing FNAF has gotten and how people like all the scary stuff instead of actually being afraid of it. I hope that all makes sense 

[DubWolf 19,857]

Yes I suppose  .

I think it's funny how Mark when he first played it the video said it was the "scariest game in years"  . I mean I still remember my first scare but it wasn't anything super-terrifying .

Slenderman is certainly scarier... I mean you're just... walking so slowly in the dark. Doesn't that feel really vulnerable? You can only run so often and get tired. It gets more tense as you go.

[ExplosionMare 25,553]

Yeah that sounds really scary

[CypherHoof 26,483]

apparently so scary nobody dared reply for two days?

[DubWolf 19,857]

He spooki

[CypherHoof 26,483]

When there's something strange

     in the neighbourhood

           who'ya gonna call?

[Sparklefan1234 183,879]

Don't mind me, just preparing for my inevitable defeat.

 

[CypherHoof 26,483]

Don't look at it as a defeat, its a win, and then an opportunity to win again

[Flutterstep 47,344]

You never lose. You merely failed to win.
