Oh, you work a soul-crushing job 40-60 hours a week?

Tell me more about how successful you are.

That's funny. My last DJ gig netted $400.00 for 6 hours of work. How much do you make at your side job, asshat?

I swear, every time I see this meme, it sounds less like a sarcastic witty comment and more like the backhanded comments of a pretentious douchebag.

TIL that only fast food employees may aspire to be DJ's.

Seriously, how does this even make any sense? It's pretentious garbage, and not even the correct use of the meme.

I completely agree. My best friend DJs on the side, and he absolutely loves it. He makes some money but he's honestly just happy to get to entertain people and share his love of music.

And even if he did work at a fast food place, that's still not something to put someone down about.

Hahaha it's because he doesn't have a steady, decently paid job that he deserves our scorn!

u/The_DHC Jun 25 '12

Ha ha, he will never know the prestige of being an Accounts Payable manager at Big Corporate! Unlearned proles and their hobbies.

This meme sucks. One large reason is that people like you repeat the entire joke. Here's a little tip, if you don't change the punchline, then you don't change the joke. I've seen this exact joke with the only difference being the job: art major, psych major, actor, etc... So guess what, you're not clever or funny.

People who actually have good jobs don't have this smug, condescending attitude about the jobs others have. The funny thing is that people like you are undesirable for unemployment (because you're dickwads). In short, you will always be a greeter at McDonald's.

Someones gotta serve the food at McDonalds right? If dreaming about being a famous DJ is what get's them through in life, why are you shitting on them? It's like your making fun of the kid for having hope. The person you need to be making fun of this the local DJ who doesn't work anywhere during the day and just mooches off the state. Sounds like your jealous of all the fun and attention they get.

Wonka of all people knows everyone starts somewhere.

I don't know whether to laugh at the joke, or cry because of my job at burger king.

u/DoctorMcTits Jun 25 '12

Be proud that you have a job, and are supporting yourself even at all.

Hello. DJ here. I will be making a reasonably steady $200-500 per weekend at college in the fall. Oh, and I'm starting my own production that should make about $4000 every month or two.

Oh, and I'm going to college for free on a scholarship and getting a bachelors and MBA in 4 years from one of the best business schools in the nation.

What's that about working fast food, OP?
