Is anyone else getting tired of this meme?

  That was hilarious and fantastic so, no.

  I've seen better instances than this one (like the EFF's DMCA takedown Hitler[1]) ... but ... there's more to this meme than it simply being Hitler. It's like the Looney Tunes coyote-vs-roadrunner. Honestly, how entertaining is it to watch the same highway through the desert, inhabited only by two non-verbal animals? Very. I think it's the constraints that make it fun. It was probably a lot of fun to write for, too... The Hitler Downfall meme is fun because of the constraints, so try to appreciate people's remixes in that light.

    Funny, I always hated the Roadrunner cartoons, and for the same reason: It was the same blasted joke told over and over again with slight variations. As if those would make it funny again.

      :) Well, it grew on me. I didn't like it as a kid, even though that's who (I assume) it was originally targeting. I think I saw it as a series of bad things happening to the Coyote. Now, I really like the cartoon because of the way the writers examined every situation, then interrupted the apparent inevitability of the scenario by finding a clever, ironic, and appropriate way for the scenario to unwind unexpectedly.

This video describes our company using agile... in fact I thought that I was outside the office of an iteration planning.

  Yeah, I thought this at first too. But in my case I never came accross one that ring a bell that much to me, I thought I would share :)

    Meh, it's just as good or bad as the other 100 that are identical but covering a different topic. This meme is seriously worn out.
