Like yeah ok, for the first 5 five times one sees it, it’s like haha, lol, there it is! But, these do get old really fast for me.

For me it’s now more like -wow. So that is literally the entire joke? Like oof, I guess they really wannted to be funny.-

EDIT: Updated the funi image to actually be what I wanted it to be… Took me a while, sorry.

      Szeth what in the FUCK is that link. My dumb ass clicked on it because it looked like an Amazon link but I got a pop-up and some permission request and dude what the fuck.

      Big doubt that’s a legit link.

        It’s a link to Amazon digital product. Specifically Rick Astley “The Best Of Me” album with Never Gonna Give You Up.

        The “description” of the product doesn’t matter as long as the product code is the same.

        https://www.amazon.com/Whatever-You-Want-Here/dp/B07X66DCLM
        

        A trick I saw used a couple times on Reddit a few years back

          Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining. I was a little freaked out.

          Had that worked on me instead, it would have been pretty funny.

        The permission request was probably just Firefox asking if Amazon Music is allowed to play DRM-controlled content (so music), so nothing inherently bad.

      I clicked three times, thinking amazon was redirecting me or showing an ad or something.

      Damn you.

      Ok fair point, you got me there, did not see that coming. But you are right, the two are kind of similar in the way they behave. But that link is something I can actually enjoy. That’s a thing I enjoy outside of funi.

      But loss? It’s just a non-joke made funny by people reposting it in new ways. I get it, repetition can be funny if it’s done enough times, which it has been. But it does not quite make like it as much as it should

        It was a webcomic that took itself too seriously and it was so panned that the mockery of it reverberates even today.

        May not be for everybody but it was definitely something to experience at the time. Sometimes the internet has these weird flashes of communal focus (which can be both good and bad) but either way these allusions are all of us nudging each others side with our elbow and winking at the same inside joke when we see it.

    If there were an occasional thing where I looked at it and thought “wait, is this Loss?” that would be funny. But I see them way too frequently for them to be funny. They need to be subtle and occasional, taking one off guard. Instead they’re frequent and unsubtle.

    I mean, the original wasn’t funny either (and became notable because of how jarringly unfunny it was), so I guess that’s kinda the point.

    There are better CAD memes, imo. I forget their url, but there’s someone on Tumblr who does really good surreal edits.

    I think CAD is kind of a fascinating trainwreck in how it stumbled down the gimmick-comic-to-dramedy pipeline. Loss is one symptom of that, but god, there’s so much more, and “it’s bad because a comedy decided to do a serious episode!!” doesn’t cover it.
