y tho

Your team's development of meme was hilarious and I loved it! Especially the last move where you put the y tho guy next to the 5th layer is very funny and creative at the same time. The sarcastic way of expressing idea really caught my eye. Nice job:)

Interesting loop you guys have worked around here, where the first and last images contain the same direct joke from the "y tho" meme but on slightly different subjects: the main distinction between the two is that the last volley use4s the meme to refer to itself, which points out that "y tho" can be used as a punch line to itself, implying this regression and volley could be infinite without technically reducing to absurdist humor.

I liked this because it wasn't a meme I had heard of or seen before but once I saw all the remixes and volleys it was really easy to understand. I think most of the volleys were very well done in response to previous ones, and the "full circle" concept is also very interesting.

You began the meme remix with an original image - original in the sense that I haven't seen it used as the basis of a viral meme yet. Similar to the "Bad Luck Brian" meme where a recurring image is accompanied by various messages around a central theme (his bad luck in that case) you establish a perceived central theme around the child pictured in your project. This shows your meme comes with a power.

I really like what you guys have done with this piece! I think its even better considering the project went in full circle back to the original. I definitely got a good chuckle out of this one. Now for the technical aspects, I applaud you for using photoshop and taking the time to edit these images together in a tasteful (and still hilarious) fashion. Well done!

I really liked the progression from the original meme. I like how it started with simple edits like captioning and then progressively moved into more drastic re-contextualizations. I really enjoyed the final layer where it just memed the previous layer with the original photo. Overall I found the volleys very entertaining as they responded to one another. Good job!

I think you did a great job with the documentation - it’s really clear how this unfolded and why you made the responses you did. Your process is excellently revealed and easy to follow.

The opening volley: A good choice of meme to start with really helped. It’s A familiar and instantly recognizable meme giving the next people in the line a clear framework for their response. The text though is perhaps a little generic and could be stronger - a statement that really starts a conversation.

Responses. The responses are excellent. Nice connection to potato jesus (but add a link in the documentation!). Great statement - an in keeping with the content. Clever. Jared’s response. Brilliant. Game set and match.

I also really liked how you came full circle with the meme - a great way to round out the match! Nice work.
