Will I be informed if people reply to my discussion post? Hide / Show RepliesI was wondering if the image should be replaced with this sequence from the webcomic "Housepets!" -
Removed the Statler And Waldorf stinger because editing is to be discussed.
It was originally
- Statler: Whoever came up with this show!
and I changed it to
- Statler: Whoever came up with this meme!
because "this show" makes no sense. So let's come up with something that is acceptably witty and doesn't include vague references to some sort of show.
This is still a signature. Hide / Show RepliesPosting this as a general response everywhere this comes up:
Here's the deal: "this show" is used because vagueness is the whole point. More specific references could lead to problems due to the Take That! nature of these jokes, and these stingers have already stirred up enough controversy as is.
If you don't think the joke is funny because it's unspecific, that's fine. But the joke being unfunny to one person is not grounds for removal. If you have a better idea (and hopefully far better than "this meme" or "The Muppet Show", because that makes the stingers even more pointless), suggest it.
