Crazy how tumblr used to be such a big website that almost every meme you’d find on any social media platform was just a screenshot of a tumblr post and now it’s so ignored nobody remembers how it started the knee surgery meme back in 2020
As someone who just had a full ACL reconstruction on their left knee last month, I can confirm there isn't much to grin about. It's excruciating pain, followed by 25 weeks of rehab. Protect your knees whatever you do, your life literally changes if you damage them bad enough.
Damn I'm also having knee surgery for my left knee's ACL just after new year's. Got told about the same recovery time with physiotherapy. Hope all goes well for the both of us!❤

This is a weird video.. he just kinda talked about who and when the meme started and 2010s memes but not WHY it started. If you came here looking for an actual explanation of the joke, here it is. Basically the joke is only apparent in the full image with "the top 25 best knee surgery memes" is visible. Essentially, you know how on websites headlines for low quality clickbait show up in the side or under the thing you want to look at? Well the original meme creator saw a headline that said "top 25 knee surgery memes" and thought of how absurd the fact that a list of memes could be made about knee surgery, of all things. Let alone that there are so many that a top 25 is possible. The blue grinch meme is a purposeful parody of what would be seen if you clicked on that link, as most of those articles typically featured unfunny ancient memes, which is why it's meant to appear like an older meme.
This is absolutely mad, I'm the one who made the "That feeling when elbow surgery was yesterday" meme seen at 1:45 , i made it a year ago just for shits and giggles on an obscure subreddit (r/bluegrinchkneesurgery) not expecting much, to see my creation spread around gives me a feeling ive never felt before.
@@ADHD_Behavior I wouldn't even call that ancient by internet standards. That was the year that DALL-E and other GANs started to become popular. Not to mention it's, like, almost 4 years ago MAX. I thought that he'd say something between 2005-2015.
Fun fact: In polish "knee" is 'kolano', so a kolano surgery could be called "kolanoskopia", similar to the real word "kolonoskopia" which means... you know. So it actually has a bit of a double meaning, if you will
I have finally reached the point where _"I am literally too old for this shit, what does it even mean and what's funny about it?"_ Even memes from the early 2010s were at least understandable to a tee.

If you’ve ever knee problems, the hope of having them fixed is something to be very excited about and during the time period this came out, the pandemic, surgeries were delayed until we figured out how dangerous it was.

The "That feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow" meme, often featuring a tired-looking blue Grinch, captures the nervous energy and apprehension many people experience before a significant medical procedure like knee surgery. It's a humorous way to express the mix of anxiety and anticipation that comes with the unknown. The meme's popularity highlights how humor can help people cope with the stress of a medical procedure, and it has become a relatable symbol for those facing similar experiences.
I injured my knee a couple days ago bad enough to the point where I can't walk without crutches at the moment. Depending on how bad they find it after my MRI next week, I may even need knee surgery. The fact this meme is resurfacing now of all times feels like the universe is trying to make me laugh. And luckily, my sense of humor does let me laugh about this. Keep posting about knee surgery, y'all 😎👍
Since I've been off of social media, Tik Tok, Reels, ect. seeing these memes out of context is jarring. It's like they aren't actually real and I'm being gaslit.
