Reddit moderators adding community rules

Overview

A two-panel meme featuring a police officer. The top text reads 'Reddit moderators adding community rules'. The left panel shows the officer with a concerned expression and the caption 'Why is no one having a good time?', while the right panel shows him gesturing assertively with 'I specifically requested it.'

Origin notes

Originates from Reddit (source marked as 'Reddit:Meme'). Created by editing a screenshot of a real police officer (likely from a TV show/movie) with text overlays. The original Reddit title 'They are gonna block this aren't they? 🤣' humorously suggests the creator anticipates potential removal by moderators.

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.

This 4-panel meme uses a modified SpongeBob SquarePants template to satirize rule-breaking culture in Reddit's r/memes subreddit: 1. **Panel 1**: SpongeBob holds a sign stating *No politics allowed in r/memes*, referencing the subreddit's official rule. 2. **Panel 2**: SpongeBob holds a second sign labeled *Redditors*, with a mischievous expression, framing the subreddit's users as the rule-breakers. 3. **Panel 3**: SpongeBob uses an axe to set the 'no politics' sign on fire, visually representing the intentional act of ignoring the rule. 4. **Panel 4**: SpongeBob stands back, smiling smugly, as the fire burns, emphasizing the playful, chaotic disregard for the established rule.
