Over the last two years, I have been making Simpsons memes about Raymond J. Johnson Jr. both on SomethingAwful and on the Bortposting group on Facebook. Recently I posted my 100th meme, and now I'm going to go back through the archives and rank them all. I have done this by using a program similar to this one that ranks Pokemon.
Not all of these are going to be winners, especially near the beginning. But I had a lot of fun, and although it took a while eventually a lot of other people did too. Anyway, I have 100 of these things for this thread so let's get started.
My least favorite. It was a lazy meme template, posted in the middle of one of those derails where goons run lazy templates into the ground. To top it all off, I have grown to love Raymond J. Johnson Jr and he does not deserve to be compared to 2020.
Some of these memes were made by hitting the Random Scene button on Frinkiac and trying to turn it into a Ray Jay meme. It didn't always work out; the joke I was going for wasn't a good joke in the first place, and I still managed to make it clunky anyway.
While most memes stand on their own, this one was crafted in response to somebody telling me they liked my idea of making Olympics-related Simpsons memes because it meant that I'd "only be posting once every four years". As such, I punished them with this meme that 1) wasn't funny, 2) was from a newer episode from a season that sucked, and 3) was a Winter Olympics sport which meant that their every four years crack should have been every two years. It was okay at the time but it had the shelf life of warm yogurt.
This one was Facebook-only until now so that's why my real face is in it. Somebody said I was a menace for posting so many RJJ memes, so I whipped this up a few seconds later. Not much to say about it.
Simpsons memes thrive on combinatory value. To me, this means that the meme should ideally be a synthesis of multiple things. Here I had the ingredients but they didn't get stirred; the joke in the meme is basically the same joke as the original.
The next five will also be rough but then we will pick up steam, I promise.
