Facepalm- not funny (honestly)

I'm struggling to understand whether this is about facepalms, pancakes, crepes, bunnies or attention whoring.
Can't we all just agree a bunny with a pancake on it's head is funny and a picture of someone slapping their hand on their face in despair is only mildly so?

I thought we were just doing our combined best to ruin the old git's thread.
I am 35. If not laughing when I see a picture of a hand and a face for the millionth time makes me an 'old git' then I am happy to be so, and you can continue to find it the height of humour. Each to thier own I guess.I was merely pointing out that it isnt actually funny. Because it isn't.
You only have yourself to blame for me making that error though.
BlindSwellRat,
Cheer the f
k up man. You have 10,000 posts. 10 Thousand. Can you really tell anyone off for being a forum geek? Are you thinking the other way - "I have 10,000 posts, so what I say goes."? In jokes are an inevitable part of PH or any other forum, much the same way as you have in jokes with your mates at the pub. Some jokes grow old, and only the clingon kid at the edge of the social circle persists, lacking the wit to create the next in joke themselves. However, as a member of that social group, it's not common practice to ostricise your slow witted aquaintance for not being as funny as Jeramy Beadle*.
Normally, I'd conform to another internet meme, and find that picture of the girl in a thong doing a handstand. Alas, I am behind a work firewall, so you've been saved from that further winding you up.
*I realise Mr Beadle was never funny. However, his hand always wil be.

Of course, this being a car forum, we can but wonder the make of the car it is trying to be. From the sheer level of blandless, I can only assume it's trying to be an Audi. Mind you, it could also be a mk5 cortina, or possibly a Vulvo.. no wait, it's got fat wheels, so it's a BMW bling.... but it's ugly enough to be a Yank 70's attempt at a luxuery saal-oon.
One thing is for certain, it looks old enough to be nect on the list for the SOTW and a further addition to the Garlick stable of the slightly wiffy but in a 'she's my grandma and I luv 'er' kinda way..

This place is full of this type of thing, some persist longer than others, but hopefully they will die out in time.
If we are 'on one' then why not cast up the clique of regulars who quite often turn a thread into an in-joke that only 3 or 4 of them get? Is this any worse/better?
To be honest, I don't let this bother me as are many more things in life to get upset about, faceless people on an internet forum is not high on my list nowadays.
That's not to say I don't agree with the OP

And the 'facepalm' thing will just die out and be replaced by the next 'in-thing'. It just happens, and will continue to happen, and is not worth getting upset about (in my opinion).
