I don’t get it.
It has been described as "arguably the most loathed Far Side strip ever"
Fucking right it is.
Hah. Dude made one that was so unfunny that it became funny again. Amazing.
Ah yes, the Cow Tool Effect:
When a piece of comedy is so unfunny that it becomes an Internet phenomenon or meme as a result.
An Internet phenomenon would be a meme by definition.
The Cow Tool strip predates the Internet, but was possibly a meme regardless. The Internet just helps memes propagate at warp speed.
I apologize for being too lazy to put "(or meme)” in parentheses.
The joke is that they’re cow tools.
Good news: it's not just you.
