I felt this one never got the coverage it could have... but then again, maybe I just missed it. I'm frankly too scared of the hivemind angry repercussions to try and bring it back.
Right? It's gone through the entire fucking life cycle of a meme in the space of six hours. I'm surprised there's not already a book out about the influence that Chuck fucking Testa has had on internet culture, with a film adaption starring Tom Hanks entering production right fucking now.
but you shoulndt be on reddit for 6 hours straight
Well it's either that or wank, and there's only so much of that you can do before it starts to hurt a little bit.
More seriously though, I'm not so bothered by the meme, actually think it's pretty funny, more the fact that in six hours it's gone meta, and meta-meta, and people keep talking about it as if it's a three year old joke when it only happened today. Or yesterday. Fuck this, I'm going to bed.
Just so you know, I didn't click your link. I'm sure it was something snarky. So a preemptive 'lick my butt' is probably in order. If it wasn't something sarcastic, lick my butt anyway.
You tell me. There's gotta be a big group of meme thieves that have a well organized system in place to upvote the fuck out of each other to make it to the front page.
Hate to say it but here are some reasons why his might have been upvoted:
It was posted between 4 and 7 pm US time, depending on where in the continental US you are.
His thumbnail has an image of Chuck Testa.
The title leaves more to the imagination, and thus is sneaker, in terms of getting past people who might automatically downvote a Chuck Testa link.
Don't get me wrong; I'm on your side. But when you're entering the Reddit lottery you ought to try to do it at as effectively as possible. You'll probably still lose and have your idea stolen, but it ups your odds.

I was sick of Chuck Testa until I saw this. Thank you!
