Captain America’s Extremely Wholesome PSA Is Everyone’s Favourite New Meme
So, you like memes?
Hey kids, there’s a new meme in town! Ring the bell, fire the cannons, hide the weak and get excited. It’s meme time! The latest hero in our gallery of memes features Captain America, and he’s giving advice!
The meme originates from the cute detention PSAs that he presents during his cameo in Spiderman: Homecoming. The PSAs consisted of a series of great gags in which the classic Avenger extolled the benefits of physical fitness, patience and old-fashioned following the rules. It’s extremely wholesome.
It’s hard to work out exactly how a meme is born, to dissect the exact mixture of stardust and wonder, that alchemical reaction of boredom and enthusiasm. But we can guess that it’s the knowing mixture of earnestness and silliness in Cap’s pose and tone that helps make this into a wonderful online joke. Here are some examples:
