Like yeah ok, for the first 5 five times one sees it, it’s like haha, lol, there it is! But, these do get old really fast for me.
For me it’s now more like -wow. So that is literally the entire joke? Like oof, I guess they really wannted to be funny.-
EDIT: Updated the funi image to actually be what I wanted it to be… Took me a while, sorry.

I don’t find them funny but more amazed that we’ve distilled the concept into an immortal simple symbol.
Like kilroy or the cool S, loss will ironically never be lost

Your words are all lying down. Can’t tell if this is loss or not.
If i made then standing up, it would have been too obvious.

Loss is only funny with the context of what an enormous shithead Buckley was online for years prior; it was the juxtaposition of sanctimony in the comic against his awful miscreant behavior that makes it laughable to begin with.
If you weren’t around and involved in the scene to see the kind of person Buckley was when loss was released, then you’re just laughing at an echo of a joke.

I was there. /v/ was ripping on Fuckley in the weeks leading to Loss. Every comic was dissected to find the joke, and then remixed to be funny (because CAD wasn’t).
And then Loss dropped, and /v/ went ape shit.
I miss old /v/ :(

My favorite CAD related meme is still B^U personally.

If there were an occasional thing where I looked at it and thought “wait, is this Loss?” that would be funny. But I see them way too frequently for them to be funny. They need to be subtle and occasional, taking one off guard. Instead they’re frequent and unsubtle.
Exactly what I think! They are too common to be funny.

There are better CAD memes, imo. I forget their url, but there’s someone on Tumblr who does really good surreal edits.
I think CAD is kind of a fascinating trainwreck in how it stumbled down the gimmick-comic-to-dramedy pipeline. Loss is one symptom of that, but god, there’s so much more, and “it’s bad because a comedy decided to do a serious episode!!” doesn’t cover it.
