Meme: An educational blog on an Internet sensation

This blog will go over some of the images or threads you might find with the same kind of picture background, different colors and a symbol in the center; more than likely a character's face or a real person's.

An Internet meme is best described by the Encyclopedia Dramatica:

"The word meme (pronounced meem) is a term coined by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene. Originally used to describe packets of cultural information, it was adopted by the internet to describe viral lulz or Frunz. Its original meaning is no longer used except by sociology majors. In short, memes are just inside jokes for people who have no friends with whom to have real inside jokes."

By any means this is not factual information, Richard Dawkins is also part of the Internet popularity phenomena. Everybody loves him because he calmly said "Science is interesting, and if you don't agree, you can f**k off" in his English accent.

The meme of this blog is my personal favorite. It was also the first "meme" I saw that opened my eyes to a different dimension of Internet. He is Foul Bachelor Frog.


The Foul Bachelor Frog is what it presents itself to be: A male who is single, in college and extremely disgusting and lazy.


He is everything that encompasses a poor student living in a slum apartment with a messy room. Imagine, if you will, "Animal House" with John Belushi living in a dump fraternity house.




Using every pop culture tag line, slogan and phrases to bring the Foul Bachelor Frog's lifestyle to feel more contemporary.



Most of these memes are incredibly accurate, almost as if the person who made the phrase in the meme was from past experiences. They are hilarious because any of them can be true if someone was in fact that foul.

Get trolled

Randomly, people will post a picture and make an R.I.P thread. They'll post their birth date and death date to somehow make it appear official. Along with the dates, they'll post "Goodnight sweet prince" like they would in any other celebrity death thread followed by a small story with no links or external references.

This is oftentimes seen as a person who trolls 4chan. They will make up something to try and fool people into thinking something actually happened.

This is an educational post. Up next: Meme time!

To the Internet and beyond!


This blog was created to be the SportsCenter of an Internet forum infamously known as 4chan. Here, you will find highlights of recent happenings in the various sub forums that 4chan has created for its anonymous users. Anything and everything interesting can and will be reposted on this blog to my heart's content. Visiting the main page has the potential to open many doors to your curiosity. Depending on where you stumble, you'll find images and lines of text that may bother you, or strike a chord in the nervous system. Other places contain a supply of help and knowledge from the "anon" users.

Be forewarned: What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
