Memes

This is my absolute favorite meme because it is not only relatable to my pets but also to being a big sister. I feel the same as this dog when my little brother gets in trouble for something I did! This meme was created by Christian Mueller via Shutterstock. This is considered a “take the blame” meme. I think this is hilarious and can be used in more scenerios than just those of pets or even sibilings it can be applied to co-workers, classmates, roommates, almost anyone you have a relationship with. This meme also appeals to me because it is a dog meme and about a cat, both of which I am a huge fan. Personally I found this meme in Reader’s Digest as well as on Twitter and Facebook. The caption reads if you ever have had a furry friend these memes and captions will crack you up. These type of memes are very light hearted and used for simple laughter which I find myself enjoying everyday. I am a constant meme user and I find myself always going back to this meme. Whether it be sending it to my mom referring to our cat and dog playing or to my brother regarding our sibiling rivalries.

Memes such as this one really make their way around in my opinion because most people either like dogs, or cats, or both. Very few people dislike pets all together. This particular meme brings together the pet owning community allowing people to bond over a common known rivalry between dogs and cats. Even if you are not a pet owner but you have background knowledge on dogs and cats and how they get along this meme could still be enjoyable to you and applied to different situations not just ones about the dog getting away with getting the cat into trouble.

I use memes as a way to stay connected with my friends and those who share the same interests with me. For example I have specific people I shared this particular meme with. On the other hand I also have some people who I know would not enjoy this meme or find any humor in it. Meme creators just like anyone else need to be aware of their audience and who exactly they are trying to target with what meme. People have different tastes in anything content related, even memes. I find that the people I am closest friends with or live with also enjoy the same memes as I do. While those who may not be apart of my particular others don’t enjoy the same memes as I do.

In conclusion, I enjoy this meme because of the versitality and the humor involved. I feel as if it is light hearted yet still funny and amusing. It captures your attention without being forceful or offensive as some memes can be. This meme is just one of many pet, dog, cat memes but it is one that can be applied to different beings not only animals. I love animals and I love feeling connected to people through animals. I also love humor so this meme embodied two of my favorite things. If I were to create a meme I would aim for something such as this with a target audience such as this one. I feel as if they were aiming for a market as myself.
