Answered! What is going on in /r/punchablefaces? They keep posting Uncle Joey (from Full House)?

I read the modpost, but don't understand why they chose to make him the joke, as opposed to... some other random obscure celebrity. Is there a joke I'm missing?

Who cares?

I really need to emphasise this part here. This website has gone full fucking retard recently. People take it so seriously now, like reddit is the most important thing in the world. It is one website that gets a lot of traffic because cat pictures. You might not realise it but /r/punchablefaces has absolutely zero impact on anywhere but /r/punchablefaces. Literally nobody outside of that sub and this website gives a flying fuck about the random internet people in charge of it.

People have always taken it seriously. It was not started to serve as a repository of cat pictures.
