You don’t understand. It’s possible not to understand any meme template. To not understand the concept of a meme template. My mom was probably in her 40s when image macros started taking off. She doesn’t give a fuck who Thanos is, wouldn’t understand the text over the image, wouldn’t understand the “this is you” comment.
Imagine someone walking up to you and saying, “Knock knock” and waiting expectedly and you’ve never heard a knock knock joke before. That’s my mom (and lots of moms) and memes.
Anyway, about memes, there have been illustrations since maybe longer than the written word. You see a picture of the guy using the stairs during a fire instead of an elevator and you don’t go “I don’t know who that guy is I don’t understand”.
Bro you don’t have to know every meme to understand how jokes work
