Let's break this down:
- You post a picture of a Krieger attacking the viewer (in jest) in response to me stating that the meme is as stupid as the Imperial Guard are
- I then respond by posting that Kriegers are no match for the power of the Hive Mind (again in jest, because I was deliberately parodying Palpatine for comedy effect)
- You post a Krieg meme (again, in jest)
- I then reply that Bonesabres >>>>>>>>>>> shovels (again in jest, due to the unneccesarily large number of > symbols)
- You then reply with a meme that idolises a digger as a bigger shovel
- I then reply with a simply logical fact that a bonesabre could cut through a digger, then lighten the mood with a Mace Windu meme and a wink emoticon (to show I simply posted in jest once again)
- You then make what appeared to me to be a more serious comment attempting to challenge the power of the bonesabres, in your usual fashion to try and sound cool, with a Conan the Barbarian clip for good measure
- I simply made a logical statement about how powerful bonesabres are
- You responded by stating how if a shovel can kill a Bloodthirster, my Tyranids would have no chance (I suppose this must have been made in jest in the spirit of the meme, but at the time it sounded as though it was another challenge to my logic)
- I responded that that is only what the memes say, and that they have no bearing on what would actually happen in the 40K galaxy (which is true)
- You then have a rant at me about how I've supposedly missed the point that the meme isn't meant to be accurate, when in my mind over the past couple of posts I was responding to a challenge to my innate logic, because I had felt it had gone beyond simple banter and into serious lore discussion.
Not all of it is, one can easily assume that a human armed only with a shovel would be no match for a charging rhino or elephant in the real world, so it is easy to assume that the same person in some WWI German armour and a gas mask would stand even less chance against a Hive Tyrant or Greater Daemon in the 40K galaxy.
Regardless, I get the absurdity of the meme, but, in my mind, absurdity at this level does not equal comedy, it simply equals stupidity. It's simply too overblown and unrealistic to tickle my funnybone. This is a situation akin to the scenes where Kirk tells Spock a joke, Spock doesn't laugh, Kirk explains the joke but all along Spock got the joke, he just had no desire to laugh because his logical mind saw no need for it.
When Jar Jar is your gold standard, I guess it shouldn't surprise me.
I never said Jar Jar was my gold standard. I simply have said in the past that he amused me. I also enjoy comedy that is far higher in quality:
- Blackadder
- Monty Python (which you refuse to watch, I might add)
- Johnny English
- Dad's Army
- One Foot in the Grave (which funnily enough includes some surrealism in it, but unlike the Krieg memes its absurdity is still within the possibilities of real life, which makes it a lot more relatable and thus more )
- Only Fools and Horses
And there's no need for attempts to attack my intelligence, I have an IQ of 112 and have the test result to prove it. There's no need to try and insult me just because I find something you like doesn't appeal to my sense of humour and I find something else amusing that you don't.
Come on, pal, the war's over. There's much better things we can be doing with our time than disputing this. I'll leave you be with your Krieg memes if in return you respect my difference in opinion. Deal?
(I'm reading the Plagueis novel at the moment and there is a lot of exploiting the weakness of inferiors in that, as one of the main rules of being a Sith).
