What's the deal with people taking things that are completely fine on their own, and adding all this extra bullshit onto them? Example below.

Didn't we learn anything from those two Matrix sequels?

They need to make a site, like the one where you can make your own demotivator, except it changes them back to regular old images...

It's like regular captions, it'll blow over in a few years..

ITT: motivational poster rage.

I don't really have a problem with that stuff really. If anything, some of them are pretty appropriate.

Sub Tank · **Reply #6 on:** August 18, 2009, 04:29:57 PM

ITT: missing the point. I like motivational posters. What I don't like is when people take self-explanatory pictures and add motivational text that specifically explains what about them is funny. Sort of re-stating the obvious.

Maybe cooldog isn't a great example. Point is, some pictures don't need motivational text. Especially when there isn't a punchline. I thought the clever punchline was the point of it all.

Some people can't read in between the lines so they have other people point the obvious out to them.
So most of them were made for idiots who don't take the time to see how just the picture itself maybe funny.

It's like the Joker said to Harley Quinn. If you have to explain a joke, then there is no joke.

The Joker is so awesome. Meanwhile, Sub's right, there are some time where demotivational posters are great and others when they're meh. It's all about the execution really, but most folk can't get that right.

There is no time where motivational posters are great.

Except the original demotivators, those work.

Is it bad the only thing I've taken from this topic is PB's Joker quote?

Nope, it's the only reason I posted even if the topic was speaking the truth.

Satoryu · **Reply #15 on:** August 18, 2009, 08:47:34 PM

PB, show us what a good motivator looks like.

RMX · **Reply #16 on:** August 18, 2009, 11:33:04 PM

If this thread wasn't started by Sub Tank, there would be a "Funny pictures are ruining motivational posters" thread started by Sub Tank saying that black backgrounds with white frames and Times New Roman captions are completely fine on their own but people ruin them adding extra bullshit on them.

Satoryu · **Reply #17 on:** August 18, 2009, 11:40:17 PM

what's stopping Sub from parodying his own thread?

Night · **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2009, 11:46:32 PM

These captions are pretty bad though...
