Quotation (with page number or parag number or time stamp if video/audio)
“Humor is often an effective tool for commenting on the gaffes and hypocrisy of those in power, and ,any political memes are used to comment on politics in a humorous and parodic way.” (pg 420)

Comment (250-500 words)

Now in today’s society, there are more memes used with social media. Especially the new app TikTok is an app that is used for sharing videos and dances however there are many different types of videos. For example, there are educational, cooking, makeup tutorials, and even memes. Depending on what you like and scroll onto your feed can show different things. In today’s society, there is a rising of “dark humor” where it takes serious topics and makes a meme out of them. Also, dark humor is incorporated into politics as well which ties it back to the reading about how memes evolve in today’s media and “issues”.

Question
Will, there ever be a platuo of people using memes, or is it strongly tied into our society today?
