Forever Alone

Forever Alone

Forever Alone is an exploitable 4pane comic derived from “Rage Guy” in which the main character expresses loneliness and disappointment with their life in which they are alone. The Forever Alone meme is a mutation of the "Rage Guy" phenomena, both of them are extremely popular on internet image boards and forums.

The origin of the meme is unclear, but sources claim that it originated on various image boards including 4chan sometime in late 2010. The main objective of the meme is to display an action leading to emotional distress, leading to the utter loneliness of the character in subject. 




X, X everywhere

X, X everywhere 
X, X everywhere is a phrasal template typically used for a wide range of cultural references, from quotable lines heard in popular films and TV shows to more obscure things found in viral videos and games. The meme is a parallel spin - off / response to the amount of Advice Dog image macros that sprung up on the internet during the creation of this meme. 
The main objective of the meme is to administer a sense of reality in numbers regarding frequent and often used internet phenomena. 

The original image macro of the meme:

Advice Dog

Advice Dog

Advice Dog is a series of popular image macros that first surfaced on 4chan’s /b/ in 2006. A typical example of Advice Dog depicts a cute puppy’s face against the background of a color wheel, often accompanied by unrelated advices and ridiculous instructions (ex: Do the laundry / Rob a bank). Since its debut, the series has spawned off several spin-offs, most notably the Philosoraptor, CourageWolf, SociallyAwkwardPenguin and many more.







Based on the popularity of Advice Dog series, pairing bluntly offensive statements or careless advices with animal icons have grown into a distinct genre within the world of image macros. The main objective of the Advice Dog meme is to administer unrelated advice followed by a picture of a dog surrounded by rainbows.

Philosoraptor

PhilosoRaptor

Philosoraptor is one the more successful "AdviceDog" variations that stem from the popular image board 4chan stemming from an anonymous source sometime in early 2007. The meme revolves around an image macro depicting a Velociraptor captioned with a philosophical, and often contradicting saying illustrated below:




The meme is one of the more popular image macros found on the internet, and it stems from the also popular "AdviceDog" meme which has created many spin - offs over the years. 

RageGuy

RageGuy

RageGuy is a series of four-pane comics that became popular through 4chan’s /b/ board in late 2008. The RageGuy is a type of exploitable image macro in which the main character expresses serious disappointment, exasperation or displeasure in reacting to a given situation—typically caused on accident. The main point regarding the image macro is to express mundane situations in a light that portrays them towards your own experiences.

Creating a variation with MSPaint is acceptable, and almost encouraged, due to the crudeness of the character. The point of the macro is not the express a visually appealing comic, but to explain the humor related in a sloppy and almost careless way.
