Ylvis's Inferno

1st Place in Derby #345: Snarky Slogans, with 502 votes!

We descended next to the fourth circle,

Where those wretched creatures writhed --

Old memes, crawling and mewling on the rocky

Soil, scrabbling for someone to care about them.

"These were once-mighty Internet tropes,"

My guide said, stepping out from clawing grasps.

"Chocolate Rain, there, by the fiery chasm;

Gagnam Style, in among the rest. Their

Punishment befits their crime, as they

Must watch each other, over and over,

As we were forced to watch and care

About them. Pity them, in their wretchedness."

And from the mass of moaning memes one

Appeared that I knew well, and was

Aghast to find in this place.

"What The Fox Say?" I cried, and lo

It was he, a blasted shadow of his former

Glory. Behind him he dragged a heavy chain,

Hewn from the millions of views that

Had once been the object of his sin, vainglory.

I reached out my hand to help my old

Beloved meme, but my guide ushered my into

The next circle of Internet Hell: Reddit.
