4/29/2023 0 Comments Shred video meme![]() Many of us are spending more time than usual staring at our phones, whether it be video conferencing, binging your favorite shows, or scrolling through Instagram. FaceTime, Marco Polo, Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger all support video chat. Just because we are directed to socially distance ourselves does not mean we can’t still reach out. Man, aren’t we lucky that this quarantine is happening in an age where we can still connect with our loved ones from afar? Give your mom a call, see your friend’s faces, or watch movies together with your long-distance significant other. Cook an elaborate meal (chicken nuggets can be included). Read that book that has been on your nightstand for six months. Connect with your artist by painting a Bob-Ross-esque masterpiece. Now that we have so much more time at home, we have the great opportunity to try out all those “someday” activities you’ve been meaning to try. Since you’ve probably already run through your Netflix queue, here are a few ideas to keep you occupied and sane during social isolation. Shelter-in-place orders are popping up all over the world, forcing us to adapt. It’s safe to say we’re all a little out of our comfort zone and worried about the effects of COVID-19. Many of us are now working from home, trying to homeschool our kids, and not able to access our favorite activities. Being stuck inside and away from your regular daily routine is generally no bueno. ![]() If you’re like us, you might be getting a little stir-crazy. What next? I’m looking forward to a Shredded Rickroll (perhaps with a dollop of keyboard cats).Things are weird in the world. However, the following clip has been so well shredded, described as ‘Kings of Leon have a disaster of a gig at Reading Festival 2009’, that it is hard to imagine that Kings of Leon frontman Caleb wouldn’t have choked back a laugh or two on seeing its artfully-crafted awefulness. Of course, the other victims are the artists themselves. If done well, the Victim (Lachy) often then feels inclined to circulate the really embarrassing and, therefore, highly amusing performance. I saw Kings of Leon last night and they were awful! I’ve never seen a band tank so badly! I needed earplugs. In fact, the Shredder is more likely to make claims that might improve the percieved authenticity of the clip.įor example, the Shredder might send an email like this: The clip is then circulated without disclosing that the performance has been altered. This new twist in the popularity of internet trickery takes place when a creative digital native takes a popular song or video clip, usually a live performance, and through their own technical skill and musical finesse manages to remove any notable musical skill or technical finesse from the artists responsible for the ‘shredded’ video clip. Its evolution has taken the form of a practice called Shredding. However, hold onto your sanity folks, because Rickrolling’s leading internet meme mantle could soon be usurped. The practice may have reached its Zenith when Astley and the song actually made a surprise appearance in the 2008 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, reaching tens of millions of viewers. Rickrolling has extended beyond Web links to playing the video or song disruptively in other situations, including public places. The Rickrollee (Paul) might logically think, “That sounds important” and click the link. Apparently some significant changes are taking place that could affect your division. It’s really important that you watch this video from human resources. Rickrolling takes place when a person provides a friend or colleague with web link that they claim is relevant to the receiver but the link actually takes the user to a video of Rick Astley singing his 1987 ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.įor example, the Rickroller (Lachy) might send the Rickrollee an email like this: But its evolution has taken the form of an even more annoying practice, called “Shredding”. Arguably the most pervasive and frustrating internet meme over the past few years has been the practice of Rickrolling.
