It's Not Easy... Being Meme
July 12, 2013 Having trouble keeping up with all the popular internet memes these days? Then you're in luck, because I just so happen to have a handy guide to memes... using frog cakes. Because reasons.
Grumpy Cat

IT WAS TERRIBLE."

"Dropped my phone in the lake, so now I'm bored in the bathroom.
Which is also the lake."
Condescending Wonka
;)
"Oh, so you changed your profile picture to a solid color?
Wow, you must be a real political activist."
Troll Face
;)
"U MAD, BRO?"
Overly Attached Hypno-Toad

You might want to clean your window now."
Nyan Cat

Thanks to Faith H., Krystal F., Jesse D., Sean M., Virginia M., M.L., & Kim M. for helping me confuse all of our parents that much further. Happy googling, everyone!

And the sad thing is that I actually know which one they reference... I've got to get off FB more.
I think the Hypnotoad looks more like a Rasta zombie Bart Simpson.
Jen, Jen, Jen...
One does not simply
Wreck all the memes
This was brilliant - Keanu's having a really hard time being sad.
That first frowny frog is actually totally adorable. But then again, I think grumpy cat is adorable. You can't help but smile at her!
Now I 'm curious: what is the rainbow flag hiding?
oh, so you posted a blog entry about memes?
how connected to the world you must feel.
<3 Z
Is it just more or does Troll Frog look as if he's sporting a uterus for a face?
@Patty i was also able to get them all O_o these cakes make as much sense as some memes anyway :/
Troll Face: When everything in your mouth mutates, and your gums and tongue merge and blend into one terrifying, disgusting human organ.
Is there something censored out in the last photo? Maybe that's why Troll Face looks so happy!
I like that the second cake's flotsam doubles as a mildly obscene finger puppet. Too funny!
Is that last one pooping rainbows? Or is it censoring something behind it?
*boggles* What if all the memes are actually based on frog cakes?
Troll Face frog looks like the hot dog eating ghost from Ghost Busters. "Who you gonna call.....Troll Face frog!!!!"
Draw technology
from the Lady of the Lake -
you'll need a rice bag.
ER MAH GERD BERST PERST ERVER!
1: The frog is adorable. Needs a hug, though.
2:"Little Hand Puppet" all grown up...but WHY.
3:Even scarier than that is the weird pink-with-huge-green-spots THING on the counter in the background. That "bakery" or "laboratory" is a real-life "Little Shop of Horrors"--YICK, squared.
4:This has quite the 'Picasso-esque" vibe going on. Almost gives it a reason to live. And since when do green, black, and white qualify as "a solid color"? Seems almost like three "different" colors, to me...
5:"troll face"?? How about "The face of a nightmare,on a plate"?? !
6: Awwww!! The Simpsons got a pet frog?!
7: Eh! I'm more interested* in what's being blocked-out, in the background.
*(mildly...only mildly.)
=^e.e^=
Hah! I actually knew the memes! (Who knew I was one of the 'cool kids'?) :)
RE: Overly attached Hypnotoad....DID YOU JUST SAY THAT? Holy cow! I can't believe you said that! Clean your window!?!?
Frerg kerks!
I kind of love hypno toad. If someone bought me that cake it would make me LOL. A lot. I probably wouldn't eat it though.
Yerk.
Why are there so many frogs on my baked goods,
And why do they look like memes?
These cakes are lumpy, and studded with plastic.
The troll face frog will haunt my dreams.
So say we all and some bakers ignore it.
They'll come around, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the Cake Wrecks connection
The bakers, the bloggers, and me!
Hehehe, just Google nyan cat to understand the rainbow!
@Kermit the Wreck: Awesome.
aww, I want to hug the Grumpy Cat-Frog cake! But that would be wrong and messy and potentially disturbing for any onlookers, and so I shall resist.
@Kermit the Wreck aah! Earworm of the day! Very awesome :)
There is a certain amount of irony to this post, given the memes that have developed right on this site (and which non-wreckies haven't a clue about). That said...
Y U NO INCLUDE 'Y U NO GUY'?!
I don't always not look at Cake Wrecks
But when I do, I miss posts like this.
Cake Wrecks: The #1 source of cake FAIL on the Internet.
Overly Attached Girlfriend is nightmare fuel -- the frog version is creepy in a safe way. Or maybe it's creepy in a Safeway.
This post wins the Interwebz! Gotta love lolfrogs!
Wreck ALL the cakes!!!
I think we've seen the 1st cake before, but he really epitomizes cute little Grumpy Cat, doesn't he?
LOVE the hypno toad, though I wouldn't actually spend money on it or eat it.
"It's Not Easy.... Being Meme" rates in the top 20 best titles Jen. Well done.
Now I will never get the Nyan cat out of my head! Laughed so hard, thanks!
@Haiku Joy ~ One of these days I'm going to take you up on that offer to teach me how to do that! Well done! (Glad I put my coffee down first. See? I'm learning!)
1 - Poor Randy :-( The rest of that cake looks well done. To bad they messed up on that one minor detail.
2 - Did the wreckorater even try???
3 - Seriously people. You only have 1 thing to even really make yourself and you messed it up that bad? Thank you for giving Jen a job! :-)
4 - It's the dreaded CCC monster! O.O
5 - Thanks for fueling my nightmares tonight!
6 - See above
7 - Maybe it's just the angle of the photo but it looks like the body is a little off center. I am also mildly curious as to what the rainbow is hiding. Only mildly tho.
KEEP CALM
and
WRECK ON!
Troll Face looks more like Slimer from Ghostbusters! LOL!
Wreck ALL the cakes! FTW! (yay Craig!)
Kermit the Wreck - bravo!
I too knew all the memes...scary.
I believe the thing I find MOST disturbing about this is that you were able to find frog-themed wrecks to represent all those intertoobz memes... O_O
(And I agree - The "Grumpy Frog" is nearly as cute as Grumpy Cat herself).
I like the first one! The frog looks like he wants to say, "Happy birthday, a**hole!"
I really would like to see a Hypnotoad cake--a good one! ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
I will feel good about myself in that I only identified Grumpy Cat, however I caught three of @Craig's list.
[Ha! See what I just did there? LOL!!! I crack myself up!]
Have a great weekend everyone!
It's kind of fun that some of these cakes come with a free Oobi.
I will postulate that the image blocked by the rainbow is simply the reflection of the back of the "Nyan Frog" and the rainbow was only put there to make it Nyan-like.
Brace Yourself
Comments about these cakes not being all that bad are coming.
OR
I thought I knew how to make a frog cake.
Never have I been so wrong.
Seriously, this might be my favorite post ever.
Read Cakewrecks, they said.
It will be fun, they said.
(I knew them all too, and I like NyanFrog about a billion times more than NyanCat. Great use of the pixelated rainbow!)
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Heeheeheeheehee...too bad that KarateLady's Daughter is off @ camp where she can't see this. She is currently experiencing FOUR whole weeks of TOTAL electronic DEPRAVATION! (But, she survived last year, so I'm sure she'll make it this year. :-) Thanks to her, I recognize all the memes here. ;-) Now you just need the JPL guy who commanded last summer's Mars rover mission wearing a mohawk and stars spray-painted on his head. I *challenge* you to find a cake for that! ;-)
Kudos to our commentators but especially to Craig, Haiku Joy, Kermit the Wreck, Jodee, Nagzilla & Chris. You guys rock today! And to Jen - you're doing a lot of posts lately! (Of course, I heard about Epbot. Take a break - from both blogs! You need a *real* vacation. Write up a bunch of posts but save them & then have them posted while you take off a week...hey, waitaminute! Are you doing that NOW?! :-)
I don't know what's funnier ... these wrecks, or the number of people wondering what's behind the rainbow.
I like Courage Wolf. Can you find a cake that looks like Courage Wolf? Thank you.
Overly Attached Hypno-Toad looks like one of the Chameleons on that episode of the Madagascar Penguins show. I keep expecting the tongue to 'sproing' out & get me!
For a hand puppet,
try the whole cake on your hand.
Skip the middle man!
Frogs 2,3 and 7 all have the same flotsam and yet turned out nice...what are the odds?
I know grumpy cat, troll and nyan cat but that's it (I know why the rainbow is there- it's pooping PopTarts).
@Kermit the Wreck I must now go listen the "real" lyrics because you were so awesome I'm getting confused. Wow. :D
@Degera("I don't know what's funnier ... these wrecks, or the number of people wondering what's behind the rainbow.")
~~~~
I don't know, either. But another funny thing is YOU wondering what's funnier.
=^-.-^=
I thought all of these were--ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!!!!
Brilliant post, Jen. Loved it!
HOLY SHNIKEY THE FIFTH ONE LOOKS LIKE MR FACE
Which also happens to be a meme...
@jbrecken... I thought I was the only one who noticed the Oobi on the cake! Your post made me laugh out loud with joy! Oobi, oobi oobi oobi oobi ooooobi. LMAO! Ah the sad state of my life...
