Was gonna wait until after a win to post this but I spent too long making it to be patient. Just hope /u/temetriusjamelmorant approves.

OK I was already on board with the bonk, the melon, (the moistness too but I was on that wet track from the start) but still wasn't convinced the memes this season had topped our slowly mad descent into Star Wars salty memes in the 2016-17 season but I can't deny history anymore. I think between this video summing up all the dripping raw meme energy of this season so far and the SNL skit from last Weekend Update we've ascended into true meme heaven.

The Star Wars era was great, there was just something so raw and poignant about a spontaneous memeaissance bred from discontent and depression - that type of stuff is always entertaining af (see: r/AtlantaHawks Cicada era, r/SacramentoKings Lion King era). But the fact that we're getting ridiculously cocky meme production in a season where we can't even get above .500 definitely tops that imo. We came in with modest expectations and I don't think any of us are particularly stressed about where this season ends up, we're just here for the ride. Nothing is more dangerous that a fanbase with Microsoft paint and nothing to lose.

Absolutely right. I never thought the Hornets would be in the category of “so fun to watch I don’t care what our record is”, but you throw Melon, Eric Collins, and memes together and suddenly here we are

Was thinking of cobbling together a highlight video for Monk with Bassline Junkie, pretty niche though

Holy shit... Big Canes fan. NC sports memes are on another level and the Hornets have the best memes I’ve ever seen.

dude, this is unbelievable - the DaBaby soundtrack, a tribute to the city, the actual bonk noises, the nicknames, the genuinely well edited clips, that fucking part where it’s just EC’s face with his quote sent me lmfao, the Melo quote too, and quoting a sub member - this is art. true art
enjoy your gold
