One meme that's dumb is the *check notes* check notes meme.

Why would "nobody" not say anything? "Nobody" can't be silent or speak because they don't exist. You're basically saying "nobody didn't ask for this", a pointless double negative.
All are dumb but the king of dumb internet memery is obvious joke posters/forum characters. Just painfully unfunny.
You're think too hard about it.
The person that came up with the format most likely wasn't that good at speaking/writing english. And it worked because everyone knows what's implied anyway.
The one that's annoying me the most right now is the one that goes like this:
No one: ...
Absolutely not a single soul:...
Me: I LIKE TO MASTURBATE WITH BANANA GOOP
I legitimately hate it

I don't understand the "nobody" meme either. I've looked up the meaning several times and I still don't get it.
If you visualize it as a dorky news reporter making a public announcement about something incredulous, then it works.
has to be used effectively of course, like any meme, to be actually funny. But most people aren’t as witty as they think they are.
Imagine getting annoyed by something *checks notes* absolutely harmless.
I sometimes get the impression that there are lots of people here who want academic level or flat out serious discourse or nothing at all. Then we wonder why we have threads discussing how dour it can get around here.

Lol. Niiice.Hm, it seems OP, *check notes*
that you are really easily agitated by a harmless meme.
It started out by being a humorous way of pointing out how some people all of a sudden start to talk about the weirdest topics even tough nothing at all promted such a thing.
It really gained traction earlier last year to mock J.K. Rowling and her randomly changing aspects of her characters long after the story is over.
But months of mis- and overuse lead to it being flanderized into "look this thing is like that thing!" which is not only not that funny, but is also covered by another meme that makes it much clearer (" [x] be like: ")
So, your confusion is understandable it's the case of the internet forcefully trying to use the same joke for everything in the hope of earning virtual points (karma, likes, whatever) to the point that it has lost all meaning
This is just the text form of repeating what someone you don't like said in a intentionally whiny/stupid sounding voice. It's mocking, not a meme.
I spell out my sarcasm by having a image and my name to the left of my post
That's the best explanation I've heard. But I still hate it. Haha.
1) On mobile it's technically on top :P
2) You'd be surprised how often it's still not apparent
Hmm this made me realize I've never seen the mobile version of here even on phone
Oh I bet. And as a regular old forum dude, I find it much more pleasing than reading obvious sarcasm followed by "/s".
I don't think you used the meme correctly once in this entire post. So part of the problem might be that you don't actually understand it.
This one sucks because it's so low effort, it's basically just the written equivalent of repeating what someone said to you in a silly voice.
The checks notes one is fine if you don't overuse it.
that's... legitimately what it's supposed to be, and how it started
I actually prefer it that way because it makes it way easier to convey sarcasm and a mocking tone than using "/s" or nothing at all
idk, memes seem alot more creative than referencing the same movies and stand up comedians over and over again like we use to.
at least we have a new meme every week
It’s a twitter meme that came here because, let’s be real, a good chunk of content on OT is literally just embedded tweets
