Why do Americans like quips so much? Is it like a cumulative experience, a group recognition of pop culture artefacts? What?

And why do you find it so funny?

And now for the hilarous cumulative doubles experience! I recognize that meme.

How many quips before its banter? I was never good at converting to metric.

Quips are a form of meme. Memes are popular for a number of reasons today, where hyper-connectivity has made pop culture an enormous hive mind of laymen:

>group belonging
>being included/exclusive
>“go back to r*ddit” is a value proposition about 4chan as a separate entity from reddit that is better.
>expediency
>also renders the incident a non isolated incident
connecting it to an existing cannon
>effective transmission, humor is a pill capsule
>relatability
memes are pop culture + technology, and quips are blooded the same.

Jewish comedians. Not even meming here.

We call them jokes IRL. We like comedy because it's a higher form of communication then just saying words.

Here is an example of words.

They don't denote any example of deeper thinking or of revealing anything of the communicator of the words except that I am aware of the spelling and meaning of these words.

Check em'

Quips as memes. It's the most condense purest form of a meme. It is the literal thing that everybody wants in every work of art to make it popular.

Hulk, Smash. I am always Angry. Underoos. Crotch. KAHN. I'll have what she's having. you can't handle the truth. You're not super-man. Bababooy. Bazinga. kamahama. transform roll out. I am batman. here we go. suprise mother fucker.

It's just like CHEW ON THIS, FINGER LICKING GOOD, I AM LOVING IT, HAVE IT YOUR WAY. yada yada yada.

It's marketing 101.

If you think movies are about what we like OVER what makes money, you're part of the delluded /tv/ dumb asses that 'understand' the world. is about the FANS not the EXECUTIVES.

>>67944563

yes they are. consider the effect that a successful quip has. it operates in the exact same way a meme does. they're the lowest common denominator.
>>
>>67944388
It helps make something Viral, and thus money.

DAMN DANIEL, DO THE HARLEM SHAKE, GUNGAM STYLE.
>>
>>67944563
>metastasise
Memes can be manufactured. It's not the same as a forced meme.

For example Harlem Shake was manufactured by the people that profit from the song, not actually made by the 'fans'

These two guys get it. Quips are a form of meme. Memes are a form of audience-enforced advertising. Consume, consume, consume, faggots.

Quips, in this context, are highly quotable lines, right?

They're the most successful tool for a film to create a meme.
>>
>>67944878
no thats called viral and its manufactured by social media manipulation and enhanced visibility through corporate means
>>
>>67944910

That's not exactly correct but you have the right idea. Square rectangle: a quip isn't a highly quotable line, it is a bit more than that. Quips in this context are also a lowest-common-denominator humor aspect that makes the quip more viral. You don't come onto /tv/ and post the McDonalds slogan because its not an in-crowd funny thing to do which will gain you social standing in media. But you do recognize it, and for McDonalds, that's enough. But for media like this, it has to propogate. Baseline humor is the easiest way to get the average roodittor feeling like something understood him, when in reality something was just pandering to him. Here we are. Quips will be quotable, but thats only a piece of what makes them quips. They also have to ave that layman's humor aspect.

You forgot one quip
>>
>>67944782
So... a movie shouldn't be quotable?
>>
>>67945137

You're not thinking about it the right way. A good film isn't made to be consumable. A line should be quotable because it was a good line. A line shouldn't be good because it was quotable. If you don't understand the difference, you should stay in undergraduate school until you do.

>but anon, what does good mean in that context

WELCOME TO THE CRAFT YOU HUMAN MEME

Synthetic relatability + quotability = quip?
