Satirical take on r/memes users failing to read community rules
Overview
This two-panel meme uses scenes from the animated TV show King of the Hill to satirize users of Reddit's r/memes subreddit. The top panel displays a screenshot of the r/memes post submission interface, showing key community rules: Rule 6 prohibits reposts/stolen memes, and Rule 2 bans political content, alongside a note requiring an attachment. The bottom panel features Hank Hill holding a rolled paper (implying rule guidelines) with the punchline, "If those kids could read they'd be very upset," while the label "r/memes users" points to a group of kids watching from a window. The joke mocks the common complaint that r/memes users frequently break rules because they fail to read or acknowledge them, exaggerating this ignorance with Hank's iconic line.
Origin notes
The meme is a remix of a popular template from King of the Hill, originating from the scene where Hank Hill delivers the line "If those kids could read they'd be very upset." This template is widely used to mock groups unaware of obvious rules or information. The top panel is a direct screenshot of Reddit's r/memes subreddit submission page, a major platform for meme sharing. The meme was created using image editing tools (likely via Imgflip, as indicated by the watermark) to combine the TV show scene with the Reddit interface, targeting the subreddit's known issue of rule-breaking users.
