The Worst of Red Dwarf Memes

[Frank Smeghammer]

Inspired by another thread, here are some of the most infuriatingly shit memes the Internet has to offer.

You have been warned

(For some reason it always seems to be Kryten, with some of the worst images ever captured of poor Bobby)

Let’s keep this shit to the pits of Facebook shall we

[Jonathan Capps]

I disagree Quinn, this is an amazing thread idea.

I may have already stretched the boundaries of what this thread is for with the below image but if it belongs anywhere, it’s here.

I give you, Kryten in the Sims

It’s an early entry but I think you might have just won the thread.

So it seems that to quite a few meme pioneers, the main impression of the Red Dwarf crew as characters was “they’re overly aggressive assholes, insulting and murdering their way across deep space”.

Special shout outs to the one who declared that the outter [sic] space setting was the “only thing” that made Red Dwarf Sci-Fi, and to the one who paired up a Hattie Holly quote with a screen grab of Norman. Dwarfers true.

[Ian Symes]

I was scrolling down Flappo’s post and genuinely couldn’t tell whether he’d found all of these in the wild or made them himself as a parody.

[Flap Jack]

All real I assure you. I could never make something as perfect as Comic Sans “In space, nobody can hear you smeg! Which is kind of lucky for me right now!!”.

[Jonathan Capps]

I smeginate this Smeg for Hall of Smeg status, would you like some toast

[International Debris]

That post is going to take quite a while to process. The Data one might by my most hated. 

[Frank Smeghammer]

I particularly hate the Kryten quote implying he plans to invade Czechoslovakia when obviously he is quoting Hitler’s diary. Devoid of all context it is a really good joke reduced to a joyless unfunny husk

Most of it is bad fandom but that one actually ruins a part of the show and that sickens me

[Ian Symes]

Kryten wasn’t even built until about 350 years after Czechoslovakia ceased to exist.

[Warbodog]

All real I assure you.

Holy shit, clem’s are still jokes aren’t they? I’ve reverse April Fooled myself through ignorance of Shit Internet.

[Flap Jack]

Clem’s are real memes too, I’m pretty sure. I saw that first “Was a hologram before it was cool” one in my search result.

[Ben Saunders]

Unfortunately I’ve seen that Data one before. 

the main impression of the Red Dwarf crew as characters was “they’re overly aggressive assholes, insulting and murdering their way across deep space”

The amount of “let’s get out there and twat it” t-shirts I saw at Collectormania would support this

[Warbodog]

Special shout outs to the one who declared that the outter [sic] space setting was the “only thing” that made Red Dwarf Sci-Fi

When the hologram, the robot and the computer came out of a time portal on a post-Big Crunch Earth where time was running backwards, it was no longer Sci-Fi.

[Warbodog]

Followed by an evolved cat humanoid and a man who was his own son in an invisible spaceship.

[International Debris]

Kryten wasn’t even built until about 350 years after Czechoslovakia ceased to exist.

He was built 26 years after the reunification.

The fridge one is annoying me most now. It’s quite a remarkable collection, they’re all worth at least one revisit just to appreciate how horrible they are.

[Dave]

It’s the apostrophes in the Toy Story one that really make it.

[International Debris]

But Rimmer is everywhere!

[Flap Jack]

You’d think Mr. Data would know that there’s no such thing as upside down and right side up in space.

Although obviously it’s Kryten in particular telling him to smeg off, because he’s still bitter about being plagiarised.

[Nick R]

But Rimmer is everywhere!

And we would have seen it too, if only Officer Rimmer had ended just a few seconds later.

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Although obviously it’s Kryten in particular telling him to smeg off, because he’s still bitter about being plagiarised.

He was about to pick up the phone to call his lawyer when nothing funny happened to make him laugh.

 through ignorance of Shit Internet.

Shitternet?

Kryten wasn’t even built until about 350 years after Czechoslovakia ceased to exist.

would be the internet’s response.

[Formica]

I’ll admit, i giggled for a little bit at H / RED DWARF FAN, as much as my enjoyment was completely coincidental to the original point of the meme

[clem]

Yes I’m afraid the ones I posted are all horribly real too. As is this:

You’d think Mr. Data would know that there’s no such thing as upside down and right side up in space.

That’s reminded me of those Argos adverts with the family of aliens where the dad complained about the daughter spending light-years in the bathroom. Used to proper blacken my shite. 

[International Debris]

Data would also not use contractions and or describe three things as “the thing”.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

[Dave]

Data would also not use contractions and or describe three things as “the thing”.

Why did Data combine three things into one, though?

[Jimboid]

[Warbodog]

[International Debris]

Set phasers to fun would be a much better name, wouldn’t it?

[International Debris]

Go on then, here’s some more misery for you.

[Flap Jack]

I was disappointed that I couldn’t find a culturally important classic format represented in these memes, so I had no choice but to represent it myself.

[Frank Smeghammer]

Going into some aggressive Google mining for shit memes inevitably leads me to find one, think “oh my god that is absolutely fucking shockingly shite” only to find the source is Ganymede & Titan. Its happened a few times now

So mock as we will but keep in mind…let he who is without sin cast the first stone

[Ben Saunders]

What the actual fuck is that last Kryten, when was that taken

[Formica]

[Dave]

[Jonathan Capps]

This is brilliant

[Nick R]

[Nick R]

No, wait. Scratch that. On second thoughts:

[Frank Smeghammer]

This is brilliant

For real brilliant or brilliant example for this thread?

Because we might be about to politely disagree

Except not very politely and with much more violence

[Podey]

What the actual fuck is that last Kryten, when was that taken

Series 8, he’s standing by that big door the dino indented. Think this image was on the back of a BTL or something, I remember seeing it A4 sized.

[Jonathan Capps]

This is brilliant

For real brilliant or brilliant example for this thread?

Yes.

[Moonlight]

This thread gave me cancer from reminding me of some of the absolutely dogshit Facebook groups I used to be in like ten years ago.

[Formica]

I can do you one worse – many worse, actually, as I’m in 1,362 Facebook groups.
