Since it's just us down here in the weeds of this thread I will tell you a fun fact: I'm Eskimo brothers with the guy who drew the original loss comic lol
I like this one a lot because it's a bit like when someone says something on Reddit that isn't funny until you see their username. The color of the dots mean something but we're not used to that, so it takes a few seconds to register for some folks.
Doesn't always work, in most classic comedy jokes, the punchline is obvious enough, and if you explain it in detail for the one guy in the back, then it becomes less funny for everyone else.
My dad taught me the following saying :
"Explaining a joke is like disecting a frog, you know how it worked, but now it doesn't anymore."
I've heard this through my life, and can't completely agree? I think this is always true when the joke is 'punching down' somehow because that requires an assumed perception of superiority, but if the punchline requires an understanding of multiple domains and how they relate, or appear to relate, I don't think explaining hurts the joke.
Maybe the feelings of whoever wasn't quick enough to get it.
Then it wasn’t a good joke. Or just funny to a specific group of people because of their culture, job or niche.
If I say a video game joke around people who don’t know anything about them, that’s on me. It’s a bad joke for this crowd. Explaining it would dissect it, they’d get who Mario and Bowser are, but that doesn’t make it funny to them. It only contextualizes the joke.
I guess I’m saying is the joke teller should know the audience. The simpler the joke, the more people understand it, the better it is. It may not be hysterical, but nothing wrong with a cheap laugh everyone can get in on.
sometimes the audience not getting the joke makes the situation even funnier:
-A holocaust survivor eventually dies, goes to heaven and tells god a holocaust joke. god says 'thats not funny', our guy says "I guess you had to be there!"-
If someone doesn't get it because 'god is everywhere', that's hysterical on its own.
This has been the Crux of a lot of my jokes for a long time. I tell the joke, get the chuckle, then start deconstructing the joke and explaining everything, it gets awkward for people and then often enough, the awkwardness becomes just as funny as the initial joke. But you have to be persistent, there is a large gap where it kills the comedy if you stop, but you can't. You have to keep drying explaining why it was funny and why they chuckled.

If you look at their comments, they are all templated like LLM comments, but most telling is their "Danny DeVito" comment which is completely off topic, has a suspiciously high upvote ratio despite being off topic, and makes no attempt to respond to accusations that it is AI.
Loss, among us, I think porn, and Saddam Hussein. I saw a better version of this meme a while back, where it's the five horse men, only showing four pictures, but the four pictures are arranged to look like loss.
Top left : "Is this loss?"
(An old meme about recognising a specific comic about miscarriage in everything, it started as a 4chan very inclusive private joke, but now it's used by normies all over the Internet)
Top right "Amogus"
(A meme about recognising the little characters from the videogame "Among us")
Bottom left : that one meme about interracial gangbang porn
(Quagmire could tell you more about it, gigitty)
Bottom right : "sadam husein hiding place"
(From a specific graph drawing of sadam husein hiding place that was on the news)
Quagmire here! It's Piper Pierre in a gangbang with a bunch of men of African descent. In the titlecard and start of the porno they stand in a line in the background while she sits on the couch in the center in front of them.
Alright, I'm outta here, gotta go jork one out for Piper.
(Mb for the arrows this is the only version i could find)
And the last one is either the person who was terrorist in his hidey hole or those cave diver images with that exact image most likely the terrorist dude's hidey hole
I'll just explain what I think I know. Despite being chronically online (almost), my reddit knowledge is limited.
The first one is minimalist "Loss", which was part of Ctrl+Alt+Del, an old gaming comic. It covered a miscarriage and departed from the typically corny tone of the webcomic, so it caused a stir and became a meme. By representing the characters of Loss as sticks, you arrive at the image in the top left corner.
The second one looks like Amogus (I really don't know).
I don't know the third one.
The bottom right is Saddam Hussein according to a diagram the BBC (British Broadcasting one btw) released as part of their coverage on the raid that killed him. So the tyrant was hiding in a pit (Afaik). It became a meme.
Some of the memes about this bum replace his chamber with a gaming chair, others insert his body into weird spaces (like Polar bear dens) or place random characters inside his pit.
Correction: Saddam Hussein was captured alive. He was later tried for crimes against humanity and executed by hanging. You might be getting confused with Osama bin Laden, who was killed in the raid on his hiding place.
I think upper left is Loss, upper right is Among us, bottom left is I think the fur on the couch surrounded by the 5 black dudes, bottom right is Saddam Hussein hiding spot
stewie here as im the most cultural character
the first one since your to daft to see is the comic about a child being killed before it was born
the second one is the biggest meme in 2020 among us now i dont understand the concept of dishonesty as a social expeirment but it was fun while it lasted
the third is something brian showed me its five black men and 1 white girl
the fourth is that person i stopped its from the saddam hussein hole
Its popular memes, first is that about the guy with its partner having a misscarriage? Cant remember the dxact cobtext, then among us, that porn scene, and lastly saddam hussein hiding spot
1st:unknown
2nd: possibly characters from “among us”
3: that porno meme scene where the blond girl is surrounded by 5 black man sitting in couch
4: saddam Hussein laying in his hiding hole
bottom right is from the "Saddam Husain's hideout" diagram that got memed, and bottom left is porn, specifically piper peri sitting on a couch with five large black men standing behind her
1: (I think) Loss meme
2: Among us
3: 5 black men standing behind white woman on couch meme.
4: Sedahm husein (I think that's how you spell his name) hiding spot
Top left : "Is this loss?"
Top right "Amogus"
Bottom left : that one meme about interracial gangbang porn
Bottom right : "sadam husein hiding place"

Squint
Ah fuckin' hell.
This is legitimately a good illusion.
Oh man, I’m super happy that the first thing I thought of when I saw the bottom left was the Flying V from the movie The Mighty Ducks.
ahahaha me too
Close but it was an adult version called mighty cucks. Easy mistake
I'm cooked, I thought the bottom left was a football reference. (Black circles being the O-line and the white circle being the QB
Well, balls ARE involved.
And then the entire thing is structured like loss in a way
Bottom left is the couch meme right? With the 5 guys and the blonde girl?
Piper Perri
𓀥 𓁆 𓀕
𓁆 𓀟 𓀣 𓁀
Huh. No wonder I was thinking that this one looks kind of sus.
I thought bottom right was the Nutty Putty Cave reference but not oriented correctly.

Peter explaining things is like watching a magician reveal tricks confused at first, then suddenly it all makes sense.
Doesn't always work, in most classic comedy jokes, the punchline is obvious enough, and if you explain it in detail for the one guy in the back, then it becomes less funny for everyone else.
My dad taught me the following saying :
"Explaining a joke is like disecting a frog, you know how it worked, but now it doesn't anymore."
If you try to take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have is a non-working cat.

But quality of audience doesn't reflect quality of joke, more teller's grasp of audience.

You found your rake to step on
Two windmills are standing on a wind farm. One asks, “What’s your favorite type of music?” The other says, “I’m a big metal fan.”
"What do you get when you combine a rhetorical question and a joke?"

That's a variation of a quote by E.B. White. "Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process"
Usually when you dissect a frog, it's already dead lol
Yea, would be more of a vivisection.
I always heard it
"You understand it much more, but ultimately, the frog dies"
Jokes get funnier when I explain them
Pretty sure you're replying to a bot
What makes you think that guy on that comment is a bot and not just a new account? 🤔
If you look at their comments, they are all templated like LLM comments, but most telling is their "Danny DeVito" comment which is completely off topic, has a suspiciously high upvote ratio despite being off topic, and makes no attempt to respond to accusations that it is AI.
Thanks for the insight.
It might just be making comments based on the subreddit names themselves and not the post, interesting strategy.
Tho idk what it's trying to accomplish, and why would someone make a bot to make LLM generated comments 🤔
i don’t get it
One of my favorite moments on the internet in the last few years was researching Loss.

Why are there two completely separate platypuses--platypi?--who are definitely not just the same with and without a hat in the top right?
A platypus? Perry the Platypus!
My favorite iteration of this joke was: "A plumber? A platypus plumber? Perry the platypus plumber? PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!?!!!"
"I mean, what kinda plumber are you?"
"A platypus plumber?"
Please do not the platypus
Teal and orange? Brown teal and orange!
I’m still waiting to hear back in my proposition to make the plural of platypus be “platypussi”.
I have so far only heard from lawyers telling me to stop.
Not the platypussi 😫
Platypussies
Platypodes /pləˈtɪpədiːz/
Octopodes?
Analogous. Same -pus root, same shift in stress to the second syllable (in English, anyway) when pluralizing it in -podes.
Because otherwise it wouldnt be "loss" would it
It's also the "it's always has been meme"
Its the white girl on the couch surrounded by black guys. Which is porn... but a specific video as well
https://preview.redd.it/igkesaorcs6g1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d57c23dd743a52a399fd35c7cb457dc825603bb
What's this specific video? For... Research purposes. Obviously
I think if you just google "piper perri black guys" you'll find it quick.
I think that probably narrows it down less than you'd think
I'll be honest, it was the video as the first 4 results when I type it in.
I remember it was called "Orgy is the new black" or something like that.
r/PeterImaginesTheLoss
Except this time it's solid loss

commented one this one too
Wait is that TWC in the bottom left?

Thought so, thank you
I think the one in the post is an antimeme and this is the ordinance
I think perry the platypus can be replaced with US-Israel UN vote pattern

saddam hussein's iconic hiding spot
Damm what? I was thinking the fourth was the guy upside down in the cave.
John Jones ans nutty putty? Yeah no he wasn’t pretty much completely inverted. Horrible way to go
Last two as in the bottom 2 or the top 2?
I'll just explain what I think I know. Despite being chronically online (almost), my reddit knowledge is limited.

I don't know the third one.

killedhim. So the tyrant was hiding in a pit (Afaik). It became a meme.https://preview.redd.it/01uxtqshvr6g1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=74a532735d20c95ec777184ea03e5da48ad383fe
Some of the memes about this bum replace his chamber with a gaming chair, others insert his body into weird spaces (like Polar bear dens) or place random characters inside his pit.
You could also shuffle around the objects.
Edit: He was captured in the raid.
Correction: Saddam Hussein was captured alive. He was later tried for crimes against humanity and executed by hanging. You might be getting confused with Osama bin Laden, who was killed in the raid on his hiding place.
Sorry for the error.
I'll correct that, thanks, kind internet stranger.
The third one is the Piper Perri couch meme. So the answer is “porn”
Epiphany of sorts. I knew that meme but I didn't know it was represented like that.
Did you see the reversed one?

I'm sure someone answered already but the bottom left is a girl on a couch and behind the couch are a bunch of black guys. About to do porn.
Bottom right is the pose of a cave-explorer who got stuck like that and had to wait to die.ETA: apparently it's actually a Saddam Hussein's hiding place meme.
1st:unknown 2nd: possibly characters from “among us” 3: that porno meme scene where the blond girl is surrounded by 5 black man sitting in couch 4: saddam Hussein laying in his hiding hole
