Also there's a genuine market for obvious knockoffs. There's a segment of a couple different age groups defined by both income (lower middle) and desired class status (middle) that buys it on purpose because it sends the right message for the right price

I’m so curious: what is the “right message” that is being sent?

Middle class without being too desperate to seem upper class. You can afford to have taste and buy things with ironic detachment but you wouldn't spend a month's pay on a bag or pair of shoes

They did this all the time when I lived in Thailand. Goods were broken into three categories:

Real: legit offerings from the actual distributor
Real fake: shockingly well-made facsimiles that are hard to tell from the real thing
Fake: the poo poo in this video

Night markets usually had the best real fake poo poo. I had a few pairs of real fake Onitsuka Tigers that lasted me years. When I eventually moved to Japan they fooled everyone I worked with.

Hey goons, what's the deal with this? I know it comes from some comic, but you all so frequently post it without context, like it's an inside joke, a reference to an event I wasn't present for.

You can make a meme out of it with basically any other picture/thing relating to a hole.

Heh, years ago I mirror-flipped every page and repasted the text so it was readable left to right. Think I lost that copy though.

That seems like a lot of tedium; surely more than just reading it right to left?

Memes don't need to make sense and they mostly don't have to be based on anything that's like, inherently funny. It just has to be recognizable, which "This is my hole. It was made for me!" certainly is. That it's funny in new contexts is a bonus.

-it's so dumb but there's still a corner of my brain that is majorly disturbed by the DDRR DRR spaghetti man, and meme-ing it helps assuage some of the body horror.

Still less gruesome than pugs. "We bred these animals to experience pain when blinking or moving their mouths; we wuvs them so"
