I really miss old school MTV though. I feel like, for a time, bands were doing some crazy music videos that were as much works of art as the music itself.
“No one:” represents something coming out of the blue, completely unprompted. It’s definitely getting overused, but that’s just an inevitable part of the lifecycle of a meme.
a phrasal template used to mock people who strive to attract attention and tend to provide unsolicited opinions, as well as for observational humor.
I think its original usage in mocking attention seeking was funnier. It’s basically generalized into any observational humor though, which is when it becomes unnecessary.
That makes sense to me where it would work. The memer would have to have an accurate sense of humor instead of just scatter shooting the phrase all over the place, but that’s difficult, so we end up with these. Thanks
Futuristic cheese graters will be anti-gravity, and so will toasters. You'll really have a hard time keeping your breakfast and lunch down in the world of the future.

Listening to how that video was made was awesome. It's so simple and obvious when it's explained to you, even if it's not particularly obvious on its face.
