If anything, it's made me want to see the new movie even less, and I really didn't think that was possible.
tastycrayon
Of course it's fishy. It's called astroturfing.
KevinRamage
Fight back with lotr memes
ericalBandit
Honestly didn't see a single one until it was out in theaters
minibois
I have now seen more 'memes' complaining about these memes, than I have actually seen those memes
Ozhound
they popped up BECAUSE a new F&F movie is coming out. not a conspiracy at all, probably seeded by the movie studio themselves.
AlmightyElephant
Frankly I find most of these kinds of memes unfunny and never noticed the difference. None of the thanos memes are that funny, yet...
Jusmar
Y'all think memes have ulterior motives but not the accounts made around 2017 that post nothing but politics every 30 minutes all day
tumppu
People still care about new fast & furious movies?
bashboy
It made millions of dollars
Masonrig
I enjoyed it. /Shrug. It's about wizards who use cars to cast spells. It's fun. Not GOOD, but fun.
SmokyDoggg
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't hire some guys to spread the memes on social media
loma45
It's one of those things where it's entirely plausible that it's organic... and also entirely plausible that it was started for marketing.
shitpostmalone
I think they're funny.
MacaulayCulpable
Corporate memes are free advertising that we circulate for them. Whee!
sirmixanaverageamount
This memes don't make me want to see the movie... and it's on people's minds, so they make memes about it
ItWasMeIWasTheTurkeyAllAlong
Ssshhhhh OP, if they hear you they will silence you! ?1
NinjasStoleMyMama
Those basstards.
@teeface didn't kill himself
SocoFox
This person underestimates how funny GenZ finds this kind of shit.
foadysf
I’ll wait til the book comes out
QuetzalcoatI
They are so bad too

Conspiracy is powerful, but not as powerful as family
AlbusBrianWulfricPercivalDumbledore
*Anything viral happens* “I, a free thinker, know this is a conspiracy”
XeononSolomon
And all those clowns came out around the time IT was coming out
noonenooner
To remind us how shit those movies are.
DianNaoChong
I used to be like you, but these films are incredible works out art
Aaronbobaron
You're not wrong, but I still like em. They're the kind of movie that's so bad and outlandish it's entertaining.
BaelKor
So shit they're on...what, ten films? Yeah. Shit. They keep earning money.
UnrustleYerJimmies
Popularity isn't necessarily a good indicator of something being shit or not. Trump is pretty popular afterall. Still shit.
Someone claiming the movies are shit doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. And no, Trump isn't Fast & Furious popular.
zafner
If this is true, I find it hilarious, because I didn't know the movie was out until this post and it doesn't change my plans to not see it
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Ah, but you already did the part they wanted you to. Just getting that name in your mind long enough for you to comment about it.
Yeah but the whole point of that is to get people to pay money to see the movie
SpiderDetective
Same here
It's from his family
zombiebatman
That’s what matters
allmypersonalitiesaredepressed
*for family
DrRickMarshal
*all about family
Teratoid
It's from for family?
Framily
Baggsy13
Another shit movie coming out? Hey, it's family now.
vindik8or
If The Fast and the Furious were a woman it'd be too old for Paul Walker to date.
CoyoteWill
Are you suggesting he would never want to be seen with a 20 year old? Proof?
https://jalopnik.com/when-are-we-going-to-address-how-paul-walker-had-relati-1828227580
/shrug. If you just accept that these movies are fantasy movies about wizards who use cars to cast spells, they suddenly become amazing.
I watched the new one, and I have 0 regrets. I laughed and felt I got my money's worth. Hell, I'd consider watching it again.
Will probably see if I can find Hooper, Gumball Rally, or Smokey and the Bandit to watch, instead.
Steelwind
There is no conspiracy about it. PR/SEO firms have been playing the game forever. Of course the smart ones will use whatever vector they can
Smartlinkseo
Not seo firms. We have to rank stuff not force memes, that’s probably a meme marketing firm.
flamingflamingo
You think PR is really putting out vin diesel memes for viral marketing? You know, when I say it, it doesn't really sound that farfetched.
Hangonthere
Aaaah! You mean the Resident Evil mem.. I mean ads.
thisisneil
This is why all of us watched bird box. That was the first time I saw the meme marketing
FoamingToad
Good point; but just don't see the reasoning. Never seen a 2f/2f film, and these derisory shitposts ain't really compelling.
AHDaniHodd
This is just a conspiracy theory. People watched the film and made memes from it. That’s not insane. F&F makes billions. Memes aren’t needed
OmnibusLatinName
Gorilla marketing
Barkinsons
A marketing campaign is not a conspiracy ffs. Companies have been using memes for years now, not to mention their twitter accounts
JudgementalMan
It is a conspiracy if they're pretending the memes come from the community.
That's a pretty mild deceit, a conspiracy is a widespread secret plan typically with political motivation
They're both conspiracies.
Or the meme started because there’s a new movie and everyone who watched remember how dumb the family thing is…
jharasym
I refuse to believe the internet would make such a shit meme and have it take off like that. There is bots behind it.
Gen Z kids probably think that shit is HILARIOUS, and like it or not, Gen Z drives a lot more of the meme trends than we would like to >
> admit. The rest is just the tryhards looking to get points or karma or whatever they hold valuable. Valuable. Like family.
If it’s such a shit meme. Why’d it take off? People obviously enjoy it or it wouldn’t be plastered on this site
ExcesumLumen
And no matter how funny they are im not gonna watch that dumpster fire of a movie
IIikethecutofyourjib
I also will not. I watched half of the first one, and then the one with the Rock in it. I liked that one. But none of the 50 others.
dickable
The memes are shit, but I heard the movie was pretty great. Unless you're not into mindless action movies.
HellooooNurse
I loved it, watched it at a cinema bar and it was so hilarious
YesmynameisGreg
The movie doesn't need to be good when you've got family. /s
kingkongkeom
Show some respect...these guys went from street racing to submarines racing to space racing...while also becoming the greatest hackers.
I would definitely recommend it, it isn't a traditional "good" movie, but I laughed so hard during it.
RealRaceRiotsAreAboutGettingBlueshelledInMarioKart
I saw the first one, and Tokyo drift. What we up to now? 9?
3Davideo
I'll watch it! Once. And only if I don't have to pay for the privilege.
AFistfulOfDollHairs
Not even if they teamed up with Jurassic World?
PorneliusHubertII
I will watch it. But I am not going to pay for it.
slinkydust
It still comes at a price
uitSCHOT
I saw the trailer, that was enough for me not to want to watch it
modus0
I saw the first one, might have seen all or part of the second, had no desire to see any more.
neospor1n
5 was fun if you try to figure out exactly how many people they probably killed in the final action scene. It was a lot
outthere987
After seeing John Cena apologize in mandarin for calling Taiwan a country, that franchise is dead to me
terp
Matt and Trey should include a Vin Diesel character in their next movie, ala “Matt Damon” in Team America, except this dumbo says “Family”.
Family vroom vroom space time family
Algebraicrhombus
I *think* I saw the second movie. It was already a joke when 3rd came out.
NubeyTooby
How so? It was pretty much an average hesit movie up until 6. 6 and beyond it turned crazy
See, I'm not even sure what number we're on... it's possible I saw the third one. What was the last one Walker was in?
I think 6
Wow... maybe I've seen more than I thought. I know I haven't seen one without him in it.
IlCastradore
They ain’t even funny
Personally I've laughed harder in the last few fast and furious movies than any recent comedies. Let the ridiculous be ridiculous.
TyrannosaurusMex
They don’t need to be funny, when you got family.
They're not meant to be comedies. They're action blockbusters.
Kyrlae
They mean the memes, not the movies.
The memes are fine.
d2zh5jtsvb42
He’s talking about the memes
The memes are still funny.
Areliae
That was the joke
