About

Welcome to My Meme Page refers to a multimedia comedy series, including video games, images, books and more, that began as a Weird Facebook profile.

History

On August 16th, 2015, the Facebook [1] page "Welcome to my meme page" launched. The image features a robot with speakers for ears and the caption "please watch this robot." The post received more than 100 reactions, 20 comments and 15 shares (shown below).


Why Not Visit? Edits

Why Not Visit? Edits refer to a series of photoshops advertising various locations. The photoshops use six pictures, each inaccurately named, a la the Better Names For Things meme. The photoshops became incredibly popular on me_irl in early March 2017.

On March 6th, 2017, Weird Facebook page Welcome To My Meme Page[8] posted the first of four mock-tourist brochure photoshops that utilized "Better Names For Things"-esque naming conventions. The first advertised the ocean with such attractions as "blobl blobl" and "Father Pelligrini" (shown below). It gained about 3,000 likes and reactions and over 4,000 shares.

Animal Reviews

On June 26th, 2018, Welcome to My Meme Page began posting a series of mock animal reviews, beginning with snake (shown below, left).[2] Over the next few days, the page continued to share reviews (examples below, center and right).

Several media outlets covered the reviews, including Bored Panda,[3] who interviewed the page's creator, Charlie, about the reviews. He said, I've been trying out different sorts of comedy writing formats for a while. Ideas come out of nowhere. One day I thought a review of Snakes would be funny and it got very popular and I realized I could probably do a lot more of these without it getting too old."


Through The Gorge

On October 3rd, 2018, Welcome to My Meme Page's creator launched a Kickstarter [6] for a "retro-styled choose-your-own-adventure" video game called Through the Gorge (trailer below). Within one week, the project was funded raising more than $10,000 from more than 500 backers.


Fandom

Since launching in 2015, Welcome to my meme page's Facebook profiel as amassed more than 300,000 likes and followers. Two years later, on March 26th, 2017, the Welcome to my meme page Instagram [4] account launched. Within a year and a half, the page has received more than 35,000 followers. On April 9th, 2017, the Twitter [5] account @WTMMP launched. As of 2018, the page has more than 15,000 followers.

On March 3rd, 2018, Welcome to my meme page launched a Patreon [7] page. Several months later, the creator Charlie posted a video of himself describing their intentions and ideas for the page.
