Explain The Joke Inc.

So the first screenshot is from a fandom. Namely i believe “the untamed” but feel free to correct me, it’s not one I’m in. The second is a screenshot of concept art for “All or Nothing”

LMAO it's basically a movie that a collection of people on here have (and are, currently) inventing out of thin air. The original meme was this:

it's originally from like a year ago, but it's seen a popularity resurgence in the past few weeks (I remember seeing a post from @calidotgov about it that got a fair amount of attention, thats around when people started talking about it again). So yesterday @beelzeebub made this fake poster:

The format, however, is a reference to the practice of cishet people asking people in sane sex relationships who the “man” and who the “woman” is, applying heteronormative ideals to queer relationships. By this joke being about approaching a straight couple rather than a queer one, it subverts this as well as points out the hypocrisy of their aforementioned ideals considering a bee and a woman dating okay as long as the bee is a “male” bee

I considered several other phrasings, but hesitated as none really made my point clear. I couldn’t just put gay relationship, as it disregards the potential of a part of the couple being bi/pan/ace/another sexuality, and reduced relationships to a Gay or Straight binary.

I also considered putting a queer relationship, but not all queer relationships are immediately noticeable as queer, for example a trans man who “passes” (used for lack of a better term to mean ‘presents as Cis’ although the term passing is uncomfortable) dating a femininely presenting nonbinary person would still be in a queer relationship, but not necessarily be immediately clocked and questioned by invasive straight people.

Same gender relationships had the same problem. A trans person who “doesn’t pass” dating the same gender would not necessarily be subjected to the “who’s the man/woman” question as onlookers would (wrongly) make their own assumptions.

“There’s a horse in the hospital. Nobody knows what the horse is going to do next, least of all the horse!”

This meme has been used as a way of expressing confusion over strange events for quite a while now

The “Plinko” portion of this joke comes from horse plinko, a two gif meme that shows a horse falling through a game machine into a fire.

In this post, she is referencing the following memes:

Blorbo: an imaginary character from a post mocking fandom culture’s habit of presuming everything is referencing their fanbase

Scrunglo: another iteration of Blorbo, from a different post making a joke based on the post which introduced Blorbo

Eeby Deeby: a meme image of a broken elevator displaying the text “eeby deeby” instead of its destination

Glup Shitto: a reference to a post mocking the idea of Hamilton’s creator making a Star Wars musical, saying he’d write it about an original character called glup shitto and give himself the starring role

Horse plinko: a two-gif meme of a horse falling through a ‘plinko’ machine into fire. Notably in the context of this joke, the machine is similar to one that may be found in an arcade

These are especially effective in this format as they sound very confusing and unreal without context, and so give the unknowing reader a similar experience to listening to Starfire’s speech.

I mean, it’s a made-up word in the sense that all words are made up, but it had a prior meaning. I keep seeing posts where it’s included in a list of gibberish words we made up For The Meme recently, but…Plinko is a game from The Price Is Right. It’s been around for almost forty years. 

blorbo - a favourite character

glup shitto - star wars names are fucking nonesense

eeby deeby - youre going to hell

plinko horse - a horse that was stuck in a plinko board

@paingwen123 help me

Eeby Deeby: a reference to a meme image with an elevator which malfunctioned, with the text “eeby deeby” replacing the floor destination on the screen

Blorbo: a fake character named a post joking about/mocking fandom culture considering everything a reference to their fandom.

H’rse Plinko: this is an intentional misspelling of horse plinko, in order to keep with the quote this is referencing (explained below). Horse plinko is a meme going around wherein a horse is put through a Plinko (similar to pinball) machine with fire at the bottom

Glup Shitto: this is another post reference, this time to a post about if the creator of Hamilton wrote a Star Wars musical. The joke of this post was that he would create an original character called glup shitto to focus the story around, and play the role himself

Blue hair and pronouns: this is a mockery of criticism of “the average liberal” according to a conservative. It was originally, I believe, said unironically by a conservative but has been used since to mock their stance
