    The original meme was mocking him, but just like the Chuck Norris memes, people will be too stupid to realize that.

      The vast majority of people have no idea who he is. That doesn’t make them stupid.

        Exactly. I read this meme and thought “who the fuck is he” googled his name, and saw the meme template I have seen million times without ever even stopping to think who the guy is

        They aren’t stupid. The people who think that this meme is pointing out how smart the person sitting at the table are stupid.

          It’s not stupidity though right? It’s poes law. People simply can’t tell what is or isn’t satire; is the funny looking guy at the desk smart? Dumb? Arrogant? There’s no way to tell if you don’t know who he is (most people don’t pay attention to losers like crowder) so people have to make a base assumption based on their already existing perceptions.
