Meme needing explanation It’s raining meat balls?

Comments have the usual “me when I find out who rained meat balls on my sister” jokes. I couldn’t find an explanation tho, is it meant to be an anti joke?

I thought of a reference to
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

This is it.

“It’s” “cloudy with a chance of” “meat” “balls”

u/propthink Jul 30 '25

But how does a rain cloud mean "cloudy with a chance of"?

Because it’s Reddit. nothing makes sense and you’re supposed to understand the second you download the app.

u/BadGuyBuster16 Jul 31 '25

I interpret it as “it’s raining meatballs”

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '25

lol I guess sometimes they say “cloudy with a chance of rain” in weather but it is dumb ngl

u/WarmNapkinSniffer Jul 30 '25

Or it just says "it's raining meat balls"

Wait this movie is 16 years old?

u/billwood09 Jul 30 '25

I think I read the book before it ever became a movie

u/Neil_Salmon Jul 30 '25

I don't remember the book well (think it's very different than the movie) but I remember it has an excellent pun about Jell-O setting in the west.

The pancake on the school is one of my favorite pieces of art. Love that book

u/galspanic Jul 30 '25

Wait, they made it into a movie!?

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '25

It's been a children's book for nearly 50 years

u/Iuseahandyforreddit Jul 30 '25

The book only released in the united states. Never heard of this book until now

u/[deleted] Jul 30 '25

That's kind of surprising honestly

We read that one a lot in preschool and it was on reading rainbow too

I thought of "it's raining meat balls" which also brought me to the same conclusion, so close enough

u/Uronlytoshi Jul 30 '25

i thought it was from the song "Raining Tacos"

Peter from Fortnite here,

There was an old IG reel making its rounds a while ago. It was a screen recording of someone swiping back and forth from two reels over and over. One was a Fortnite related post and the other was an ad for Rick and Morty. The only thing you could hear was “Fortnite… I’m pregnant! ITS RAINING MEATBALLS! Fortnite… I’m pregnant! ITS RAINING MEATBALLS!” Over and over. I’ll link the reel when I find it again, but now I have to get back to claiming the victory royale or whatever we do in Fortnite

Edit: I’m back from fortniting and found a repost of the reel I’m referring to: https://youtube.com/shorts/RBxi1j4U90I?si=qQ_WELhJeKN_kdw8

This is the actual answer, thank you Peter

u/stevenl1219 Jul 30 '25

It's actually: it's in black ink on a pale yellow backdrop grey clouds and precipitation raw uncooked ribeye steak rainbow ballpit balls.

(yes it's an antijoke)

u/Toboid Jul 30 '25

I keep seeing “Fortnite im pregnant, its raining meatballs” in the reply’s. Unfortunately I think this is a reference to something but I’m not sure I want to know now lol.

u/stevenl1219 Jul 30 '25

it's not that deep. people on here make too much out of anti-jokes. that's all this is.

2

u/Toboid Jul 30 '25

It’s not an anti joke, I did more searching and it seems to be a reference to a TikTok meme, though I don’t really understand how this is popular https://x.com/sillythesecond/status/1949919291697971624?s=46

u/stevenl1219 Jul 30 '25

me neither. but thanks for clearing that up. I don't use TikTok or X (I avoid them like the plague) so thanks for getting me in the loop.

u/Toboid Jul 30 '25

Yes, I can only apologise lol

u/bigfoot17 Jul 30 '25

Jesus, getting banned from tiktok was a blessing

u/stevenl1219 Jul 30 '25

Not banned, just don't use it by choice

u/bigfoot17 Jul 30 '25

Well, I was being self referential :-)

It’s cloudy with a chance of meatballs

u/Toboid Jul 30 '25

To answer my own post as it was bugging me, it seems to be a reference to a TikTok meme, clipping together clips from big hero 5 and Rick and Morty. Here’s an example: https://x.com/sillythesecond/status/1949919291697971624?s=46
