Successful Mexican Meme Generator

You've been sitting on a pun for ten minutes. The conversation is moving on, the moment is almost gone, and you cut in two topics late. Nobody laughs. You explain it, which is how the pun finally dies.

The pub quiz question is about a famous river. You know the answer, but you also know a terrible pun on it, and the pun wins. The team writes the right answer down anyway. You are still smiling when the marks are read out.

Your uncle tells the same joke at every family do. Everyone groans in the same place, and he enjoys it more each year. You have started groaning early, to save time.

The joke only works spoken aloud, so you say it twice, spell it out, and watch a colleague slowly work out that this is what you do now. Then comes the laugh, a full ten seconds late and a little pitying.

Why it caught on: the picture shows a man laughing under an enormous sombrero lettered "Mexico", set against a red and green sunburst, in the Advice Animals style where a grinning character delivers a setup and a punchline. Captioners filled it with puns on Spanish-sounding words and names, and with clichés about Mexicans being lazy, stealing jobs or crossing the border. That stereotype was the whole joke, and the punning gave it a format that spread easily.
