Cats as a memetic medium have infinite plasticity which has lent to their popularity and longevity in the world of internet visual humor. Here are the best of the best cat memes from 2011 and 2012.
Oggy is a blue cat who lives with three mischievous cockroaches named Joey, Dee Dee, and Marky. The roaches enjoy playing pranks on Oggy and ransacking his fridge. Oggy usually tries to catch or outsmart the roaches by the end of each episode with help from other animals. The cartoon relies on slapstick humor and visual gags without much dialogue. The main characters also include Oggy's cousin Jack, neighbor Bob the bulldog, sister Monica, and love interest Olivia.
The document discusses various genres of theatre and their characteristics. It begins by defining genre and explaining how artists can portray themes in different genres. It then examines specific genres including Greek tragedy, comedy and satyr plays. Other genres discussed include Shakespearean comedy and history plays. The six most common modern genres - comedy, farce, drama, tragedy, melodrama and tragicomedy - are also outlined with descriptions and examples. Subgenres like high comedy, low comedy, and physical comedy are explored in more depth.
The document discusses various examples of media that blur the lines between fiction and reality and contain elements of irony and self-reference such as:
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit which blends cartoon and real characters
- The Office which is a mock documentary that refers to itself
- The Simpsons which refers to other texts and blurs fiction/reality
- Revels and Cadbury's ads that spoof or reference other works in an ironic way
- Music such as A Tribe Called Quest that samples from other songs
This review summarizes the 2007 comedy film "Balls of Fury" in three sentences. It states that the film is a weak ping pong farce that has few laughs despite the leading actor Dan Folger's talented performance in the central role. The plot involves a former child ping pong prodigy who is recruited by an agent to enter an underground ping pong tournament hosted by a criminal ping pong lord. Though there are some funny scenes, such as a character getting repeatedly hit in the head with ping pong balls, the blind jokes and humor overall do not live up to the film's title of "Fury" and there is little nonstop laughter to be had from watching it.

The LOLs of Nations: Understanding Global MemesBen Ve
Global memes add snark and commentary to politics. Memes have helped citizens around the world express political support and dissent: from the meme that helped a cat run for office in Mexico, to the goats that parodied Obama’s visit to Uganda, to the Myanmar kitten that people used to protest the cost of cellphone service. And sometimes memes are used BY a government against dissent, as is the case in Azerbaijan.
Many memes stay within their culture, but advice animals, lolcats, and rage comics often get repurposed in surprising ways outside their origin.
What are the barriers for cross cultural memes to spread, and what is special about the ones that do? How are goat and cat memes an easier mechanism for people to begin to engage with international politics in an attempt to understand the LOLs?

Computers have evolved greatly over time, starting as simple mechanical aids like the abacus and advancing to modern electronic digital computers. Some key developments include Charles Babbage designing plans for the first general-purpose computer in the 1830s; the creation of the first functional computer called the Mark I by Howard Aiken in 1944; the invention of the transistor in 1948, which made computers smaller and more reliable; the development of programming languages like BASIC in the 1960s; and the creation of early personal computers like the Altair in 1975 and the Apple I in 1976, which helped usher in the personal computer revolution.
Adobe gets real (or fake) about content marketingTraction
Presentation from Traction and Adobe on 3 shifts content marketing have had on how Adobe approaches marketing. Originally presented at the 2013 iMedia Brand Summit.
Designing with giant pictures requires considering how images will look and function at different sizes, which image layers will move or stay static, and ensuring close collaboration between designers and developers. Key factors include how images will scale or respond across devices, providing subtle navigation cues, and clear communication with clients about large image sizes and their technical implications.
The document discusses design trends using giant pictures and provides examples of websites that use large images effectively. It highlights techniques like using transparency and animation to engage users with layered and moving images. The key considerations are to determine how images will scale and respond at different sizes, what layers will move versus stay static, and to ensure close collaboration between designers, developers, and clients when using large images.
This 3-step process for building a brand involves:
1) Identifying a clear positioning or "one thing" that defines the brand in the mind of the consumer.
2) Differentiating the brand from competitors by taking an unconventional or contrasting approach, or "zagging" when others "zig".
3) Triangulating between internal strengths, market forces, and target customer needs to identify the brand's unique value proposition and focus.
Your brand is a commodity. Brands are becoming commodities as they are viewed more as interchangeable products. A brand's experience matters more than what it sells or how it sells it. The brands that take risks will be the ones that win.
Experience matters. Adam Kleinberg is the CEO of Traction, a top interactive agency. He argues that brands must design experiences, not just messages, to truly connect with customers. Effective brand experiences tap into fundamental human motives like pleasure, morality, social influence, community, and economic incentives.
