Commander Bubbles 1,343 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 (edited) Why is this not a meme yet? I mean... it's a hell of a lot more entertaining than that Twicane cancer and Derpy bullsh!t. I'm honestly surprised nobody made the dancing cop a meme yet... Edited March 21, 2014 by Firestone Firehawk 8 Gotta learn stuff through denial and error.

StarSwirlTheBearded 356 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 I've thought of that too. Keep in mind that this song isn't anything new. Plus, it wouldn't be that video (too much ponies for the general internet), but that's the right idea. I would genuinely like to see that get big.

PinkiePieJr 122 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Well the song itself has been a meme for a while, but that video, I've never seen before, but it shouldn't matter completely. That has all the elements to be a meme, and I really would not be surprised if it does in fact become a meme. I guess the best thing we can do is spread it around. After all, that's what a meme is. 1 Wanna See My YouTube? How About My Memes? I'm new, but here's some designs I made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discordian 6,015 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Memes that do catch on do so purely by chance. Make this one popular and it might go meme...but of course you can share it all you like but that won't necessarily make anyone care about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dddrgn 450 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 I don't know, this is boring imo... You don't intentionally make memes, that's not how it happens. New memes come up at random from things that were never meant to become memes. 1 "You must never give in to despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts.

But their progressions to being a meme were more natural. If you don't like a meme, so be it, but don't try to replace it with your own. That's just... no.

Commander Bubbles 1,343 March 21, 2014 Author Share March 21, 2014 Yes but the song is still there. It cheapens the whole thing. Then find a new song and put that in there instead. -_- And I do agree that forced memes are quite annoying. Twicane for example. That's why I would never wanna see this as a forced meme. 1 Gotta learn stuff through denial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribbonfree 2,383 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Wait, The Safety Dance became a meme? At some point during the New Millennium it was. I wasn't old enough to know until after it's time had passed though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Bubbles 1,343 March 21, 2014 Author Share March 21, 2014 At some point during the New Millennium it was. I wasn't old enough to know until after it's time had passed though. It was more a very popular song during its time that had a lot of airplay and was played a lot at school dances and such. Gotta learn stuff through denial and error.

Andaasonsan 3,205 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 I am so very confused right now. Okay, so just so we're clear here: The Safety Dance was a song by Men Without Hats released in 1983 and reached #3 on the Billboard charts that year. So how and when was it a meme, if at all? Because as far as I know it's just a really old Pop song. Application REJECTED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
