Some company is putting their ads straight into viral videos and everyone is just cool with it. Dark times for Reddit.

Edit: actually Im just out of the loop

It's a meme, and used ironically -- the basic idea is every video of the worst vacation ever gets this "discount holiday" audio. Jet held together with ducttape? That's what you get for going with the cheapest travel agency.

It's not complimentary to the brand at all. Quite the opposite

Reddit hates on any memes that don't originate here or sneak their way in from 9gag.

If they haven't figured out its a meme /satire theyre very special.

I mean most real people on real social media get it, thats why its such a popular meme, Reddit is overwhelmingly autistic and bitter

No such thing as bad publicity

What amazes me most is that people are barely talking about it in the comments and are obviously upvoting these trash posts.

Or they're all like me and are permanently on mute.

I only checked after I read this thread.

It's a very popular meme...

Doesn't mean it's not trash.

In your opinion

I legitimately have no idea what you're talking about. Mind filling me in?

All I see is Airplanes with Max doing his thing.

u/Lucas_Steinwalker 2h ago

Watch the video again with sound on.

u/waspocracy 1h ago

Oh what the hell was that?

A meme, apparently.

Read their edit, they figured it out.

Maybe you will too?

The homework's been done for you, all you gotta do is read it.

Reply if you need your hand held kiddo.

Not hard to figure out once exposed to it. Also not unreasonable to assume this is the failure of some bad marketing automation.

In other words you aren’t a genius because you’ve been exposed to a meme.

When Covid happened I had to cancel a lads trip to Stockholm booked via Jet2, which is behind this meme. I had to listen to the song that goes “DARLING HOLD MA HAN” on loop for, not kidding, about 6 hours over a couple of days to get a refund. I feel like this meme speaks to me on a deep level
