Comedy has moved to one off pieces of quick fix laughter. It's a collection of correlations where if one person does it, and it catches on, everyone does it. There's plenty of memes and people who use them. But what is meme culture really and how does it work? Is it the comedy of the future?

This episode I wanted to start off with something a bit lighter. We've had a rough couple of years and kicking things off with comedy seems the right way to start 2018. For those that don't have a clue, we'll be discussing meme's, how they work, what they achieve or acomplish, how those that don't like being made fun of label a meme in a darker light, and more. It's been said that comedy centers around being able to laugh at the reality around us. So how has the internet affected comic quick fix delivery?
