I recall when LOL Cats were actually pretty funny, way back around "I has a flavor". Then people who didn't understand the language [1] overran the Internet with cats that had incredible vocabularies and immaculate grammar (they just didn't know how to spell and were evil).
The only thing that bothers me about Dogescript is that the joke is too forced. The typical Shibe pictures are just "wow", "such X", "very Y", "wow"; when one adds in the "shh", "plz", and "rly", and (even worse) starts crafting a coherent sequential story, it removes the humor from the doge meme.

- jamesaguilar 13y agoThings stop being funny over time. There's no reason to be concerned. There will always be a next funny thing, and there's really very little you can do about it.
- victorf 13y agoI'm not concerned. This was my response to the claim that it is "very much in the hacker spirit". I find it neither utile nor humorous. I think compiling it to Javascript is trivial and not worth our attention.
- girvo 13y agoWhile I may disagree with your conclusion here, I'm quite chuffed that I have now learnt a new word: "utile". Neat!
- polroger 13y agoYou do realize that the first "doge"-image macro used more words than "wow", "aah", "so x", "very y", right? http://cdn.runt-of-the-web.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/shibe-meme-computer-science.jpg http://cdn.runt-of-the-web.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/... While I agree with you that this is forced and cancerous, it's pointless to care about it.
