This Oblivion Remastered Easter egg is forcing me to confront a difficult truth about early 2010s meme culture: It was never funny, actually
I hold no grudge towards my friends at PC Gamer for drawing my attention to the Oblivion Remastered Easter egg, which has also revived a cringe-worthy meme from 2011. It’s really that early 2010s absurdist humor popular among Millennials that I blame. I recall chuckling insincerely to countless instances of it during my college years. The Harlem Shake and the screaming sheep come to mind, and I consider the 2011 video Potion Seller as equally laughable in the same vein.
