I knew all those years of watching TV endlessly and reading Sci-fi books would pay off! All that time I spent reading obscure lord of the Rings facts and watching YouTube deep dives into the intricate history of the Star Wars Universe. Hours upon hours spent in unknown reddit threads, reading overly detailed fan theories and searching through endless Facebook discussions, cramming each piece of useless information into my rotting mind have finally paid off - I got the obscure reference behind the meme!
See, there are memes that we can all understand; memes that speak to the collective human experience. These memes touch each and every one of us on a very basic level. But then there are the memes that only a nerd who spend way too much time reading and hypothesizing about imaginary worlds can truly understand. So go ahead - enjoy the fruits of your geeky labor and dive into this listicle filled with memes for geeks who share a very specific sense of humor.
