Top left: Katt Williams went off during an interview calling out a bunch of folks. Things may or may not be true. Top right: a defendant attacked a judge after his sentencing. Middle left: Stanley cups? Need help here. These have been the new fad cup since the summer. Middle right: Gypsy Rose was recently released from prison. Watch Mommy Dead and Dearest or look her up. Bottom left: A man got naked and jumped into a Bass Pro shops aquarium in Alabama. Bottom right: Alabama football coach Nick Saban retired. Is there a joke? Not really.


Wearypalimpsest

Re: the Stanley cups - this appears to be specifically an image of the pink Valentine cups which were limited edition and sold out in minutes as soon as they hit stores.


Joeness84

And people were brazenly stealing by the case in a few places. (saw at least 2 clips, means theres more!)


DMercenary

The target subreddit had a few post where employees got caught hoarding/stealing them.


SulkySideUp

People have also been listing *photos* of the cups in predatory resell ads for hundred of dollars


devils_advocate24

And are reselling for $500 each


Bright-Wear

How do people have money to burn like that?


spencer1886

They don't, in a month you'll be seeing their prices drop 95% when the scalpers learn that they screwed up


Kappys-A-Prick

Ah, humans....


DevinAsa_YT

What’s the craze with Stanley cups? They’re JUST A CUP it holds WATER/COFFEE etc Same thing with HydroFlasks in 2019.


KittyKayl

And Yeti back in 2014, 2015 or thereabouts


LeafCozy

> Top right: a defendant attacked a judge after his sentencing I thought this was a picture of a goose attacking someone and after reading your explanation I didn't even question it.


thewinterofmylife

LOL me too


Parlyz

Yeah this is the “modern” version of that cringey thing they did in like 2018 with “it’s only been a couple weeks and we already have four great memes” all of which were dead within a month or two making that post look stupid.


Old173

I think the joke is that "big" events have happened in 2024 even though the year just started but the events aren't that interesting at all. The bottom two for instance are only mildly interesting to people from Alabama.


Specific-Channel7844

Nick Saban retiring isn't just mildly interesting for Alabama. College football is the second most watched league in the U.S. and Nick Saban is one of the greatest coaches of a time. It is a pretty huge deal in America.


Parlyz

It’s a huge deal for people who are into college football. I’d never even heard of the guy before today tbh.


Specific-Channel7844

I was just saying that it is not a little thing only people in Alabama care about.


Parlyz

I guess but it’s still interesting that they included it in a list of “crazy things in 2024” while missing other notable events.


Captain_Blackjack

This is mostly a pop culture list


Rick_aka_Morty

But they completely ignored the actually big things, like that half a state was flooded in Germany, or the new level of escalation in the middle east with the first airstrikes against the Huti. This meme focuses exclusively on US-Memes, not "big" things


-an-eternal-hum-

Thank you because I honestly wasn’t aware of a single thing referenced here Edit: no wait I’ve heard of the Gypsy Rose show


Cbeach1234

The Stanley cup has to do with the recent boycott of Starbucks due to their support of the Palestinian Genocide. Starbucks partnered with Stanley cups to push a product, and many people who were boycotting Starbucks rushed to buy these cups, which exposed these peoples’ hypocrisy.


GlobalFlower22

I think they are trying to suggest 2024 already has a bunch of crazy events. Which is dumb compared to the prior few years where things kicked off with entire countries burning, global pandemic, etc.


Jeffrinator

Ngl i thought the top right picture was a goose


excavatorFanatic

Why has nobody actually answered the post’s question instead of just acting superior to this meme? I don’t know top left Top right is the man who tackled a Las Vegas judge in court after she refused to lighten his sentence and made a comment like “I just can’t with that history” referring to his criminal history Middle left I think is the pink Stanley cup which just released in stores and probably sold out just as quickly. Middle right is Gypsy Rose, who I don’t know much about. I believe she lived in a horribly abusive situation with her mother and created a plot to murder her to escape. She just recently got out of jail and already has a husband (pictured there) Don’t know bottom left Bottom right is a football coach, read other comments for actual information because I don’t know


DangHeckinMemes

Bottom right is Nick Saban leaving Alabama which is the equivalent of Tom Brady leaving the patriots or Michael Jordan retiring. He is an iconic coach that has basically owned college football for a while and produced numerous first round draft picks in the nfl


MajorDelta0507

NICK SABAN LEFT? HOW DID I NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS?


JohnTheW0rst

He just retired this week. So you're not to far behind


OriginalDogeStar

About 48hrs ago wasn't it? I am in Australia, I only found out my Saturday morning that he had retired somewhere around Thursday


Blahblahblurred

he is extremely behind. There’s vigils going around bama like the guy died


FatMamaJuJu

I mean he's basically god in the state of Alabama so it makes sense. I know several people who live in the state that keep desktop pictures of him in their home and/or office


Alaskan_Bull_Worm17

Well they are a little behind seeing as how saban’s replacement has already been hired


jablair51

Nick Saban leaving is the equivalent of Bill Belichick leaving the Patriots which also happened this week.


eorabs

It's not equivalent because I don't watch sports at all but I know who Tom Brady and Michael Jordan are. I won't disagree that this Nick Saban person is a big deal in college football, but to act like he is some widely known figure like Brady or Jordan is ridiculous.


condensedpoop

Bottom left is the guy who jumped in the Bass Pro Shops Aquarium


LeeisureTime

That is putting it mildly lol. The entire video is wild, the guy must have been high AF.


lala__

Can a girl get a link?


carnagesavage

https://youtube.com/shorts/rpMeCfxgSwQ?si=fvsvA2NJCMlweYfp I found a short on it, only decent info vid I could find


mydaycake

Omg that was something….the employees were not impressed


redredrocks

To add: it went viral because the man’s penis was so small as to be basically invisible. I believe it’s come out since that he was very mentally unwell rather than just being on drugs when it happened, so I assume people feel bad about commenting on it here, but that was probably 70% or more of the comments I saw on Twitter after it happened. Anyways, people are naked online all the time, so I figured that part warranted a bit more explaining.


Lilme666

Top left is Kat Williams on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast. He said a lot of things about a lot of other comedians. It became one of the most viewed podcasts ever on YT within like a week of being published.


Kayniaan

Is that the one where he said Kevin Hart was a plant?


spamred567

Yea for those that like to believe the Illuminati and shadowy figures control Hollywood he talked about all of that. Said Kevin Hart basically sold out to them and was pushed to the moon for it. Doesn’t hurt that Katt is funny as hell so that’s mixed in to all these wild stories he has


Chchchim-chim

I’m so sick of seeing Kevin Hart that I’m ready to believe anything about him tbh lol


TastefulMalice

Was just about the say that. When he first started he was great and then suddenly hes freakin' everywhere. Started to not like the guy lol.


Reasonable-Park19

Accuses people of being Illuminati going to Epstein island Weinstein stories


Roach_335_

Thank you for actually trying to answer the post


No1_Famous

Top left is Katt Williams was in an interview with Shannon Sharpe and decided to really let his opinion be known. He called Kevin hart an industry plant, he also called out Steve Harvey and Cedric the entertainer. The list actually goes on for a while. The bottom left is man in Leeds stripped naked and jumped into a large aquarium in the center of the store.


Huge-Objective-7208

Bottom left some guy jumped naked into a bass pro shop and shouted obscenities to everyone while on drugs. Video of it going around on Twitter


sixinch1der

Family claims mental health issues, not drugs.


Poorletariot

Psychosis is a hellva a drug


jayray2k

In which case it's a lack of drugs.


drunk_seabee

Underrated comment


Lingist091

That’s what I would assume. 90% of the time when you see people do stuff like this it’s a mental health episode. And the times they are on something it’s usually alcohol. People get really stupid on alcohol.


CamTheMan1302

Bottom left is a guy in a shopping centre (mall) who swam in a big fish tank thing butt naked then got tazered by police...not sure where but I'm pretty sure it was America. If I can find the link I'll add here


_Fusilli_Jerry_

It was Leeds, Alabama.


OssimPossim

>shopping centre (mall) >big fish tank thing >butt naked >tazered by police. Going out on a limb and guessing Florida.


Alaet_

Wrong! Alabama! I guess it's one or the other. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bass-pro-shops-nude-swimmer


FearlessFreak69

Top left is Kat Williams, brilliant stand up with a troubled past who had a pretty nutso interview on a podcast that named names.


daffydonaldduck

Top left is Katt Williams. He did a 3 hour long interview exposing Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey et al for stealing jokes amongst other things. Bottom left is the original naked baby swimming in the ocean guy recreating the picture


TacoNerp

The Stanly cup this is a guy tackled a Starbucks worker and stoll a box of them


Futher_Mocker

I realize it is a cup. And that it is made by the company Stanley. But I can't stop reading The Stanley Cup (The trophy for the NHL playoffs winner) even though I know by now that's NOT what everyone is talking about.


Itz-G0dzillaaaa

Plus the general craze of the mugs that was created and the chaos at many Starbucks locations


ThisIsInBlueFont

Lmao thats Katt Williams.


Ky_the_transformer

bottom left is a dude who took a swim in a bass pro shop aquarium naked.


Slevin-Kelevra_66

Katt Williams club Shay Shay interview, Man attacks judge, pink Stanley cup conundrum, gypsy Rose Blanchard, naked bass bro swimmer, not sure of last one.

Many *interesting* things have already occurred in the few short days of 2024.


flameburn10

List em?


Tmavy

Top left is Kat Williams a comedian who went off on a bunch of big named celebrities/comedians. Top Right is a guy who was being sentenced by a Judge and decided to attack her. Bottom Left is a guy who decided to skinny dip at an aquarium. I don’t know the others.


EagleCatbutnotHybrid

Not just any aquarium The Bass Pro Shops aquarium


Artoriou

Ah yes seaworld on a budget


[deleted]

SeaWorld wishes it were as classy as Bass Pro Shops


Parryandrepost

Honestly IDK if you're joking but there's some seriously nice bass pro shops. Like no cap. The one in Springfield has a VERY good restaurant and a very interesting hunting exhibit and head collection along with just being one of the bigger sporting good stores with one of the biggest open box return policies and selection. There's also some guns there on display and for sale that could be in a museum. If you want to get a bow/crossbow their return section right before and after bow season is absurd and they do a sale that's like 25% of new price for last year's bow models and cold weather gear. The one in Memphis has everything above BUT also has a very nice hotel. Every day at 11 and 6 they do a duck parade with live ducks that all march on a red carpet and it's quite enjoyable to watch. I personally enjoyed my stay in the Memphis one and sea world was pretty lack luster when I went to the one in Florida. But that was also probably because it was Florida. The one in new York kinda by the trade district was significantly nicer but I could be misremembering the location. At least pre covid and I'm pretty sure now from what I hear from relatives. I haven't been out either way in a bit.


Over-Pass-976

You forgot to mention the Memphis one (my lovely hometown) is inside a giant pyramid!


amartz

“Giant” is kind of an understatement even, it’s the 9th largest pyramid in the world. Comically enormous. I’ve only been to Memphis once for business and it was one of the main things I was told to look out for.


ImLostCanIFollowYou

The marching ducks is at the Peabody Hotel, also in Memphis, unless they copied it. It is kinda what the Peabody is known for. https://www.peabodymemphis.com/peabody-ducks


CoolGap4480

Found the Bass Pro Shops rep.


dubyajaybent

I'm not sure which circle of hell is people using "no cap" to attest to the quality of Bass Pro shops, but it's one of them for sure.


Ciqme1867

Which Springfield, lol


Arcade_109

Missouri


Zito6694

Might as well call it class pro shop


Afraid-Lifeguard-965

Bahdumtss


[deleted]

Bass pro has alligator ,alligator gar, alligator snapping turtle, trout,giant catfish,sharks,rays,jellyfish, snakes ,and a ton of other stuff... A historic gun museum, an indoor gun range just in case you want to pop some off after eating at the restaurant or walking around ...a hyper realistic race car vr ...most of thats free so yeah I guess you could say on a budget..but SeaWorld sucks watch blackfish


jmona789

Middle right is Gypsy Rose Blanchard who's mother had Munchausen By Proxy and pretended Gypsy was sick and abused her for years and have her meds she didn't need many of which induced the symptoms of whatever disease she claimed Gypsy had. This went on for years until Gypsy met Nickolas Godejohn online and she asked him to protect her from her mother. They ended up plotting for him to kill her mother after she felt she had no other way to escape. Nickolas killed the mom, Gypsy was sentenced to 10 years with a possible parole in 8.5, he had a prior history and mental issues and was the one who actually committed the murder so he got life with no possibility of parole. Gypsy just recently got parole early this year. And the guy with Gypsy is her husband who wrote to her, met her, and married her while she was in jail.


P0ster_Nutbag

I believe middle left is the whole Stanley Cup (not the hockey trophy, the branded travel mug) craze, where people were going crazy over limited edition Cups. Bottom right I believe is a long tenured coach being let go from an Alabama university football team.


big_sugi

The coach is Nick Saban, the now-former head coach for the Universiry of Alabama’s football team. He’s pretty much universally regarded as the best coach ever, in a sport that’s more important than religion in Alabama (and many other places), and he decided to retire this week after dominating college football for the past 15 years.


Upbeat-Fee-5105

And what about the middle right? (I'm expecting pedophilia)


P0ster_Nutbag

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her husband. Her story is bizarre and disturbing. Her mother (Dee Dee Blanchard) essentially lied about her having many serious disorders, and kept her bound to a life of someone constantly chronically ill (despite Gypsy Rose not having any such disorders or illnesses). Dee Dee had a disorder called Münchausen syndrome by proxy, in which caregivers falsify illness in those under their care. Gypsy Rose eventually met people online while still under the care of her mother, including Nicholas Godejohn. After many exchanges, Gypsy Rose and Nicholas eventually plotted, and succeeded to kill Dee Dee to free Gypsy Rose from her abuse. Gypsy Rose received a 10 year sentence, and was released after 8 years, while Nicholas is still serving his life sentence. The pic is Gypsy Rose with her new husband… she was recently paroled and has done some interviews relating to her new married life out of prison. This is a very quick summary, and much more details on the story exist. If bizarre true crime is your thing… it’s worth a read.


UserChecksOutMe

Wow sucks for that guy. Got a life sentence and ditched by the girl he committed murder for. Cold blooded.


Sobatage

I mean, he manipulated her into helping with killing her own mother. Could have just left without the killing, or gone to the police about it.


wheresmyspacebar2

Isn't the reason it got to the point where they murdered her because they went to the police multiple times about It? They went to the police and every time, the police returned her to her mother because it was just her 'having an episode'. There was literally nothing they could do, she'd run away multiple times but been brought back, she'd reported the abuse to the police and they'd chalked it up to illness. Her mum even found essentially crooked doctors to confirm these illnesses. Doctors happy to say whatever they wanted for cash. She convinced him to kill the mom after all that, because it was literally impossible for her to get away without doing so.


TheSpoonkMan

I always thought it was the other way around


oceanhymn

Dude also sexually assaulted Gypsy, masturbated in public for 9 hours (don’t ask me how as I haven’t been interested enough to care,) and also said he wanted to have sex with her mom’s corpse after he killed her. Dude was not a good guy.


wolamute

People also have said he looked like the mother, and have made horrible memes about that part.


IcyNefariousness2541

I have been seeing her name flippen everywhere but didn't bother to look her up. That's wild.


Upbeat-Fee-5105

Well, at least it wasn't what I thought it was.


P0ster_Nutbag

Yeah… it didn’t get much better… but got a lot more complicated.


rossbcobb

Husband? What?


P0ster_Nutbag

She got married in 2022 apparently. Guess she met him, and married him, all while in prison.


canteatsleep

munchensoens by proxy out of prison for murder


Limp-Pin1626

AKA gypsy rose blanchard and her new husband


Spiffy313

That was her mom's diagnosis, not hers


justlooking1960

Saban has also been floated as a Democratic candidate for Senate against Tommy Tuberville , former coach of Alabama rival Auburn


STFUnicorn_

Is him quitting (whom I’ve never actually heard of) really bigger than 6 super bowls winning bill belichick quitting?..


big_sugi

Belichick’s exit has been expected for months now, because it was obvious his time in New England is done and the program is falling apart. Saban’s Alabama program was still at, or very near, the pinnacle of college football, and no one really expected his retirement. The NFL is bigger and far more lucrative than college football, but the college football fanbases are far more zealous—especially in a place like Alabama, which has no NFL team (or anything much else of note). I’m not joking when I compare it to a religion, and Saban won seven titles in fifteen years there, compared to Belichick’s six Super Bowls in 23 years.


hairyyams

As someone who grew up in Alabama, I can vouch for the religion claim. I've heard the phrase "roll tide" un-ironically said at the end of prayers at church in the place of amen, at weddings after the bride and groom are pronounced man and wife, and at funerals. and not just once or twice. like consistently.


STFUnicorn_

Fair enough. Although I think anyone in their 70s should be expecting retirement sometime soon.


zerox678

I would argue that Sadan should be regarded as the best coach ever because he has not had the same team 3 years in a row ever. While Belichick only won superbowls with Brady and a handful a excellent HOF caliber players for almost a decade.


Salty-Space-2818

Also as a college coach, saban controlled the entire program unlike NFL coaches who normally just coach. Saban did everything from recruiting to coaching which makes him even more impressive


moeterminatorx

College coaches also have ultimate control over their players. It’s like a dictatorship. Players don’t have a voice or choice and don’t get paid. Additionally, you get to pick your players. Not so much in the NFL. On pro level, coaches are in control but not to the same degree. Hard to treat the men the same way you treat teenagers. This is why Saban and Urban Meyer couldn’t cut it at the pro level.


moeterminatorx

How do you know Belichick and not Saban at all?


STFUnicorn_

I live in New England…


murdocjones

From a national perspective, no. In Alabama he's somewhere between Trump and Jesus on the hero scale. They don't have an NFL team so SEC football reigns supreme and people literally plan their weddings around it.


Effective-Ladder9459

I try to keep up on sports related news. How did I miss this?


Flinty984

that ain't a cup it's at least a goddamn jug or whatever is up in size


MaxCWebster

BEING LET GO!?! RIP your DMs. Bless your heart.


oneStoneKiller

Yeah, specifically people paying $250+ for a limited edition pink Starbucks Stanley cup.


OrangeKefka

Just to note, none of these are that big of a deal. This is an average/below average 2 week stretch of wackyness in our news cycle.


bilateralunsymetry

Nick Saban, the Alabama football coach, retired (bottom right)


murdocjones

Bottom right is Nick Saban, he was the University of Alabama's football coach. He's just recently retired. SEC football is huge in AL and he's considered one of the best coaches in the state.


Drew-mageddon

He’s considered, by many, to be the best coach of all time. “One of the best coaches in the state” is maybe the biggest understatement ever.


IleanK

I mean it all seems pretty mild. And very America centered.


whaleforce9

Probably an American made meme. Not saying that other things haven’t happened around the world, but the maker is probably America focused. Surprised they didn’t talk about the tornados in Florida.


lartufbd

Bottom right is one of the most dominant coaches in college football of all time. Nick Saban. He is leaving the University of Alabama.


thundertk421

Bottom right is Nick Saban, a famous college football coach for University of Alabama (he’s won something like 10 SEC championships, 8 of which were at Alabama). He just announced his retirement. It’s a pretty big deal in the SEC, which is kind of more popular in the south than pro football

Reiver93

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not Japans year


LaMalintzin

I recently learned that 4 is an unlucky number in some Asian cultures? So 2024 is bearing that out I guess


BVoLatte

2024 2+2=4. Checks out.


Turbogoblin999

20+24=44 4+4=8 which is twice as bad Yep, it checks out.


TurboTrollin

But 2024 has two 2s, and if 4 is a problem, then 2 must be the root of the problem...


ViaBromantica

But 8 is lucky in China and Japan though. So it's like a crappy year can have a silver lining.


Bradley06232005

2024 20+24=44. Checks out.


Notanexoert

Technically in Japan it's also Reiwa 6, so 2024 isn't necessarily Japan's year.


CharmingPerspective0

Iirc in japanese (and maybe Chinese idk) 4 can be pronounced as shin, which also means death. So its considered an unlucky number


STFUnicorn_

Many of these are not actually all that interesting.


dinosaurscantyoyo

It's missing the Jew tunnel somehow which is the most interesting of all


Unity723

But the memes are pristine!


TikTokBoom173

That...what?


fishmister7

There was a cops vs Jews fight in NY after cops discovered a tunnel that led to a synagogue.


RealLiveLuddite

Very little of this is correct. The cops didn't discover it, other Jews did. There wasn't a fight, the Jews didn't want to leave the tunnel and the cops physically hauled them out.


armahillo

and the regular civilian tunnel under that lady’s house


Kind_Ad_3268

They really aren't, it's a big world, way more interesting and important things going on.


STFUnicorn_

Other than the nutjob in the aquarium. That’s kinda funny.


MrsChairmanMeow

Yeah, can't we just let Gypsy be a person for a moment in her life. Just leave her be, she has had enough of people making decisions about her and definitely for her. At this point I really question people still following up on her.


ZenithTheZero

Honestly, I just want to see her succeed and have a happy life. Poor girl has been through way to much already.


the_real_flapjack

I think she wanted a movie made about her life. But yeah I'm down to forget about this person.


BlahajBlaster

It's probably hard to say no to a substantial amount of money when you've just left prison.


Illuminati_Concerned

She's spent her entire life up until now being 100% under other people's control. What else could she do for money to support herself, really? Plus, she's probably desperate to start connecting with other people, on her own terms. I can see somebody who's lived the life she had to feel at *some* level kind of like "hell yeah I'll talk to anybody who wants to talk to me!"


godemperorofmankind1

Yeah and these things are really not that bad or even out of the ordinary people is just overreacting


freakinbacon

Do people just expect events to stop happening because the calendar changed?


Amaurosys

We just want the days without incident to reach double-digits once in a while.


yodoboy123

Spend less time on the internet and suddenly these incidents have no meaning at all. I should take my own advice...


theannihilator

come to florida then. internet or not we do not reach double digits before stupidity happens.


ryanpo1337

Yeah, there is no need for internet when you live in Florida.


DigitalAmy0426

So you want people to stop existing. Seriously, stop paying attention and it will be exactly that for you. Incidents are always happening, you just didn't know about em.


LouiePhlegm

I love being ignorant about most of this meme 😎


Complex-Dimension-50

I’m so proud of you!!


LouiePhlegm

To the random online dude who thinks I’m a full blown Redditor, I hardly know how to use this platform and am here for the steak and cast iron communities. I have absolutely no clue how I get on these other threads 😟


Effective-Ladder9459

Because of the stupid algorithm that just suggests what ever the hell it wants to.


MyBrassPiece

I hate it. I get posts from days ago, when all the discussion has ended. What's the point? But when I got to the subreddit there are many newer posts that didn't make it to my feed. And so many suggestions for communities I have zero interest in.


Catapultguy

lol those steak and cast iron subreddits have been leaking into my feed😂


0rbitalys

Damn you should've added the Yiddish under the floor or the Miami alien thing


Squirrelly_Khan

Man, every image summing up the year so far and no mention of the Epstein list. Or MatPat and Tom Scott announcing their retirements


Destroyer0627

Didnt Tom Scott announce he was going to retire like 6 months ago but he still had more videos to post and just recently finished them?


Joeness84

Yeah I assumed he'd already stopped lol. The matpat thing was like when that one dude from try guys cheated on his wife or w/e for me. The internet was a blaze with conversation about it, and I was like huh, who is this? I always find it interesting when something in todays internet zeitgeist is under my radar cause Im perpetually online.


DigitalAmy0426

Epstein list is overblown anyway. If a person came within a degree or two of the guy, they're on it. Went to a party, flew on a private plane, hell, asked the guy the time of day. I'm much more interested in the more than acquaintance, attended several parties, etc etc list. You know, folks who are much more likely to have known what the dude did.


Locked-Subordinate31

You mean the ones videotaped partying with Epstein? And on more than half a dozen plane manifests?


Snakescipio

Or, you know, Japan getting hit with an earthquake and tsunamis literally on New Year’s Day.


demitasse22

I think these are low stakes, pop culture references only. There are also at least two wars going on, and those aren’t included either. That earthquake in Japan though , holy moley

Top left: Kat Williams interview where he “exposes” a bunch of Hollywood Top Right: Guy attacks judge after hearing his sentence Middle Left: Stanley x Starbucks cup is released and goes super viral Middle Right: Gypsy Rose is let out of prison and is loving her life Bottom Left: guy goes for a swim in a bass pro shop’s aquarium and gets arrested Bottom Right: Nick Saban, the head coach of the University of Alabama, after 17 seasons and 7 national championships to his name finally announces his retirement.


caet_

i only know about gypsy rose and the judge thingy


ChubRoK325

What’s going on in the bottom right picture? Only one I don’t know


christiangamble

That’s Nick Saban. He’s arguably the best college football coach in history and he just announced his retirement.


getstonedplaygames

There's no argument, and I say war eagle.


sukamacoc

Half of those aren't even that crazy


Steelthahunter

I have no idea what the two in the middle are


RtGShadow

Well the left middle one is a reference to the Stanley Mug that is super popular right now, like basic white chicks fighting people at target to get one;level of popularity. [But this video sums it up perfectly](https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/s/oxd4a2hFQV) The middle right however I have no idea...


Deathah

After reading most comments I've decided to place all the the pictures in one list (please correct me if I'm wrong) Top left: Kat Williams went on Shays podcast and started exposing a bunch of Hollywood elites Top right: a man who was being sentence by a judge decided to jump the stand and try to attack the judge Middle left: Stanley Cup, basically people went crazy over these cups an even started fighting in target for them Middle right: Gypsy Rose, basically she was a girl who (with another man not the one in the photo) killed her mother, and I believe that's the picture of her NEW husband while the other dude is serving a life sentence Bottom left: it's a dude who went skinny dipping in a base pro shop aquarium Bottom right: A famous College football coach who was considered the best of the best decided to retire after 15 years of dominating


The-zKR0N0S

I only know about the one in the top right and bottom right


Coptic-Soou

Additional things (that most people likely already know) that happened in early 2024 include the earliest Mickey Mouse shorts becoming public domain & Tom Scott and Game Theory quitting.


JJTrick

u/Tmavy got them right: > Top left is Kat Williams a comedian who went off on a bunch of big named celebrities/comedians. Top Right is a guy who was being sentenced by a Judge and decided to attack her. Bottom Left is a guy who decided to skinny dip at an aquarium. I don’t know the others. The bottom left is actually a man who went skinny dipping at a bass pro shop The middle left is the Stanley cup craze at target. People are fighting over these special valentines versions of the cups being sold at target Bottom right is Nick Saban, former Alabama coach who retired. Middle right is apparently Gypsy Rose according to u/excavatorFanatic: > Why has nobody actually answered the post’s question instead of just acting superior to this meme? I don’t know top left Top right is the man who tackled a Las Vegas judge in court after she refused to lighten his sentence and made a comment like “I just can’t with that history” referring to his criminal history Middle left I think is the pink Stanley cup which just released in stores and probably sold out just as quickly. Middle right is Gypsy Rose, who I don’t know much about. I believe she lived in a horribly abusive situation with her mother and created a plot to murder her to escape. She just recently got out of jail and already has a husband (pictured there) Don’t know bottom left Bottom right is a football coach, read other comments for actual information because I don’t know

The joke is news happens all the time and your calendar doesn’t affect that.

Who cares? All of these events are meaningless.

Comedian, Katt Williams, going after everyone in the comedy biz. Man who attacked judge. Super popular Stanley cup. Gypsy Rose Blanchard released after years incarcerated for the plot to murder her abusive mother who kept her prisoner and made her pretend to be handicapped. Man getting naked and skinny dipping at bass pro shops. Legendary coach, Nick Saban retired.

I love the whole Stanley cup thing, it is marketing genius!! So many products that were marketed for a certain niche group fade away because they don’t embrace an insurgence of new types of customers. Stanley took it and ran with it making like 10 times profit from the year before iirc. I remember reading something about it.
