Is there a fundamental internet meme that has had such a major impact that it would have notable repercussions if it had somehow disappeared?

    You probably never saw it used properly. It’s supposed to be the punchline to a shaggy-dog story. Someone lies to you about a horrifying scandal or unbelievable turn of events, and links video evidence, aaand it’s an above-average pop hit. Basically the video version of how one time in nineteen ninety-eight when the Undertaker threw Mankind off hеll in a cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.

      No, I just don’t think it’s all that funny 😅. Oh, I clicked on a link and it’s Rick Astley. Egads. Like, alright, you got me, but I’m not laughing. I’ve seen good setups, some real curve balls and unexpected bates, but it never got a laugh out of me
