Bart the General is not a meme. I know because I have seen memes in my time and because of the pixels.

I do not remember any of this general Bart shit in the slightest.

Me neither, but I looked up the thread (btw, apparently Lowtax posted it a few months after his mangosteen meltdown). Here's Richard describing his big brain idea:
I don't have the actual video, because Fox Broadcasting Company allegedly got its top lawyers to remove it from YouTube, after which Lowtax declared the project a success (?).

It's definitely true that Simpsons in any form, short clip or recording a tv screen with a phone, flipping the image, whatever you try it will get DMCA'd immediately and was the case back in 2006 as well

That sort of reminds me of his "propesting" idea, where he wanted goons to go out with signs and protest random nonsense. It never even came close to taking off. I feel like there might have been one or two images of some goon by himself holding up a sign in public somewhere, but that's it. Even Mega64 didn't do anything like that, and acting like jackasses in public was their whole schtick.
Opie and Anthony used to encourage their fans to do this. They were even called "Pests" when talked about on the show.
Nice original idea Lowtax!

The Empire of Dirt video was good.
Wife #1 seems like a decent person, what did she find in Lowtax?

Here is the video Lowtax wanted to force to go viral
I don’t know who toadfish is or why they made this shit or if there is some hidden hilarity but it wasn’t funny then and it isn’t funny now. I guess I smirked at Marge You’re Breaking My Heart but that’s it.

The OA was a dumb Netflix series where you could stop bad things from happening by channeling positive energy with dumb hippy interpretive dance and fans decided ‘hey let’s go to Trump properties and use this fictional thing in real life!’
I dunno it’s dumber than wiccans.

He was a successful American businessman. I'm pretty sure their marriage was pretty miserable, but she lived pretty fuckin' lavish while they were married.
In fact, I have a screenshot of their fist date:

And apparently Lowtax was so impressed with it that they made a second one? Now with seizure-inducing animation at the beginning! I can't even....
Found that in an old thread by @From The Uncanny Valley
I have no idea why they thought these would or could go viral. The animation is terrible, the voice-overs are terrible, the music makes my ears bleed, and they go on way too long. There is nothing even remotely funny, cute, or catchy. Basically the complete antithesis of a meme.

Lowtax never had a knack for what was good comedy he always relied on others to provide it and when he tried to do it himself he failed. The end.

I've seen dumber and worse things go viral. But the bolded part is where it falls over. These are just long, with long stretches of silence because they were too lazy to even add wacky foley work.

Reminds me of his first interview he did with Dick Masterson on The Dick Show where Lowtax started flapping his hands about Dick calling them memes instead of image macros like he preferred. Richard had no fucking clue; him gargling buckshot was the first and only sign of him being marginally aware of anything.

lol wife #1 is one of the panniest-faced gooks I've ever seen stateside, big fucking mystery how an average looking white guy gets one of those, you don't even need money it's not like she was some chinese billionaire's daughter.
Bart General is bad and not funny, but even if it was "better" there's still a disconnect between fringe weirdo humor and actual relatable shit. It's easy for terminal onliners to forget that the really outre stuff doesn't translate when they only associate with other onliners. I recall introducing bizarre shit I found on the internet to various friend groups and it always got a tepid reception, only the few who already had exposure to internet nonsense appreciated it. Everyone uses "the internet" now (more or less) so that appreciation gap has narrowed, but in the 1.0 days anything like this would be a very hard sell.
