Because they're dead horses that have been overly exposed, rehashed, and warped to the point of the original idea behind it being long dead. They're mercilessly recycling these once inside jokes until they essentially become... kind of like zombies. Provoking and unsightly husks that just overstay their welcome and continue to spread viruses.
Many years ago a guy made a comic about being stoned while driving. He had to put on his coolface to convince the cop he was okay to drive. Today he is the icon of "only pretending to be retarded right guys??" and "le trolllll". He is meme guy.
Twenty years ago or some ♥♥♥♥, people started using ">" to quote and subsequently respond in emails. Using ">" to quote was eventually integrated into 4chan. It is the catalyst for the "implying" text response. Today its "meme text". AKA it's a bunch of unfunny idiots using a quote function to make some of the most cringe-worthy one-liners I've ever had the misfortune of reading.
Advice Dog used to be a way to administer clever and intentionally bad advice. Then people ran out of ideas and started coming up with other ways to use it. Meaning its no longer advice. Then they introduced characters and such to associate the text they put in with a specific kind of person, ruining any kind of intelligent function of the "meme". At this point, it's neither advice, nor a dog. Now its essentially just putting stupid A-B one liners on generally plagiarized reaction images. But plagiarized reaction images are a completely different topic mostly involving Reddit and 9gag, whereas dead memes encompasses the whole internet.
tl;dr, you have to let good things go, and stop them from becoming giant messes

Rape rodent was actually the cause behind coolface.

Re: The Lounge
> quoting is so annoying. Have you ever tried to read any of the old messageboards where that function was built into things? It ends up looking like
>>>original messsage text here >>>yet more original message text >>some guy commenting on orginal message >>>yet more OMT >>same guy commenting >some guy commenting on that >>>yet more OMT >some guy commenting on original message
It's a giant mess and I hate it. Reading it is a nightmare, especially when they start adding colors into the mix. I won't even make an example, you can imagine what happens when you start coloring things based on how many >'s they have in front of the line. Holy ♥♥♥♥ do I hate it.

So, I'm trying to catch a mouse.
I'm told mice don't actually like cheese. I'll change it out later.

Not only do mice not like cheese, it's poisonous to them. Don't offer it a slow and painful death. At least have some common decency and club it or something

The past house I lived in was rat infested. I would grab my dad's .22 air rifle and shoot them.

Upgraded the trap with locking hooks, changed bait to twinkies because I didn't have peanut butter.

so I've been rather sick lately, but it sort of escelated today. I woke up and went to puke and there was blood. it was from my nose and not from my stomach so I'm not worried, but still a bit shocking. practically fainted too. I'm really bad feeling now.
Is there a doctor in the house?

I can't remember the last time I've been ill. I vaguely remember having the flu for a week when I was fourteen, but I can't remember any since then.
