And I protested this thread turning into an "I hate cat macros so much" thing because then people who might even LIKE them will be afraid of expressing their opinion, because oh gosh, what if all the cool kids don't like me anymore?! But go ahead and bash all you like. I will still post cat macros. Here and here only, it's not like you'll have to see them all over the place. Fair play. They make take your lives, but they'll never take your cat macros! For the record some times the self indulgent humour behind my posts is so self referential and often based in self parody, that its no surprise people don't always get what I mean. Basically its known on this forum that not only do I loathe and fail to see even the slightest bit of humour in Cat Marcos I also have a phobia of cats. So when this topic was posted I thought people would expect me to comment on it, so I put jokey vitriolic comments and explained why cats marcos is mentioned in the description on this part of the forum. I reserve the right to think that cats macros is signpost of a severely inane culture and to state said opinion. But would never seriously judge someone for what they happen to find amusing or tell people what they can and can't post here. I mean I spend half my time obsessing about a science fiction TV show aimed at children.. I'm sure that seems inane to some people.

Calm rational discussion is the way to sorted out disputes, also I found it necessary to clear up any confusion about what I'd said on this thread.

this is the most interesting reply to this thread, I'd say. why not just post a link for cats as well? here are the cat macros. Most of them suck, but alas!

PLEASE. I agree that people have the right to say that they loathe cat macros if they do - but come on. This has been stated by a lot of people here about 10 billion times in the history of the forum. And that's pretty much just as old as the cat macros themseleves. So cat macro lovers, go ahead and have your fun - just ignore all the complaining and just post what you want. Now it's my personal opinion time: I don't like cat macros either. But this is because I don't find cats to be particularly funny. Harry Potter macros, however - that's a whole different story. LOL WIN

What exactly were you trying to convey there...? ;D I enjoyed this reaction. Um... I guess basically I meant that if you wanna post macros of any kind just do it and don't let other people's opinion bother you so much as to get into arguments. But I also said the harsh complaining about cat macros is getting way old on this forum. But then I went and contradicted myself by saying that I don't even like cat macros either. And then I posted a picture of Lupin being a pedophile. .... Yep. That's it, really.

LOL WIN That one's only slightly funny because Harry looks so embarassed to be involved in the macro. I don't get cat macros at all. It's like a person is so incapable of actually being funny themselves that they have to take some formula (that wasn't even funny to begin with) to make a joke. What can I say, un-funny people just annoy the hell out of me...

I never got the joke that set the cat macros template in the first place to be honest. I have actually sat and thought about it and I can't see what the joke is meant to be. Shows how strange and subjective sense of humour is I guess.
Its like a picture of a cat with some sort of catchphrase written on it? What? Anyone care to explain?

I think it's meant to be the juxtaposition between the 'cuteness' of the cat and the 'comical hilarity' of the catchphrase. It doesn't really work though, because cats are about as funny as a brain tumour.

It's like a caption competition for people who haven't realised they're not funny yet.

It's pretty much just "you don't have to be mad to work here!" style office posters and bump sticker level humour really isn't it? I guess if I actually thought cats where cute.. I don't get it, they don't look cute to me they look eerie and cunningly devious AEEGGGHH.

Bumper stickers are sometimes awesome, don't hate.

Am I the only one who thinks cats are funny without even having to put large captions on them? If you don't find cats remotely funny, then you must have never had one.

if a picture of a cat is funny, i usually find it funnier without the macro
but y'know, each to their own, i understand it can be quite irritating when people tell you something is funny when you think it's not, and vice versa

I think cat marcros are quite funny, but I didn't see them all the first time round.
Plus, I don't think I would find them half as funny if there wasn't such drama surrounding them.

I wouldn't call it drama...
