TM: Yeah, like, I think a lot of mainstream humour revolves around punching down at people and, like, specifically making fun of people? So it makes sense how this would translate on to the internet - one of the most unsafe spaces if you’re an “other”. So, like The Pots meme: Are we laughing at the fact the person couldn’t make the pots and didn’t communicate this fact (their dodgy work ethic) or are we laughing at their accent or use of English? I think The Pots went viral because of a very sinister, classist motive. Laughing at other people is so much easier to do when all you need to do is click “Publish”. YA: Yeah, n people used the image outta its original meaning to voice alotta other things. TM: Lmao, I feel triggered, because I have no bae. In a sense doe, I like how people, like, rework and remix memes to be more aligned with, like, their own thoughts n opinions. TM: Honestly, I just want to go around shouting that The Pots meme is anti-black. But what you’re saying about reworking and remixing is actually a really cool part about memes. The way you can add your opinion or your politic to a viral cultural symbol is a cool way of subverting things. Look at how poor Pepe the Frog was co-opted. The SpongeBob n' Stuff Movie (initially SpongeBob n' Stuff: The Movie and then The SpongeBob n' Stuff Movie in 3D) is a 2017 animated film based on the popular and highly successful spin-off SpongeBob n' Stuff, created by PolarKey.Seriously, meme culture is ever evolving and is the primary way us youths in South Africa communicate things online.

When SpongeBob finds out he is part of 4 creatures who lived in crystals on the surface and one of them wants to kill him for being released into Bikini Bottom early, he and Patrick team up with SpongeBob's sister to seek out their former enemy Bill Cipher who could help them save not only themselves but Bikini Bottom as a whole. Meanwhile, Sandy, Temmie and Robbie Rotten set out to find the fourth crystal-creature who could possibly help them and Batman shows up somewhere along the lines too.įour pirates, SBCA, Cosmobo, Travis and a robot called SpongeBot, travel to Bikini Atoll to find some treasure. They find it, after arguing about stuff, and the black and white crystals fly straight into the ocean upon being touched. In the same ocean, SpongeBob heads to his work at The Krusty Krab where Squidward quits his job as cashier but Sandy volunteers to replace him. After work, SpongeBob and Patrick go jellyfishing where they are tempted to climb a mountain. At the top, they find two beings from the crystals and dub them LightBob and DarkBob.
