The reasons that viral jokes go viral in the first place is because they are so relatable. Almost everybody knows Good Guy Greg. He’s probably a great guy but just looks like a jerk. The latest and perhaps the greatest meme of familiarity hitting Twitter takes the format of a joke: Mustering the courage to speak an unpopular opinion into a mic. However, at first, the speaker is invariably greeted with a wave of disparity. But, soon to be confirmed with by an authority figure. It’s an open-ended mic but has an innate comic timing. Don’t we all just love saying the silly things that pop into our minds, for the world to tell us that we’re not wrong?
