If I remember right, it's partly because there was one guy who'd always bring it up in 'favorite Simpsons jokes' threads acting like he was the first one on planet arth to get it and explaining it every time. Eventually people got to the point where they would start posting it themselves sarcastically in anticipation of his usual ramble and people unaware of the previous history got a warped perspective thinking it was a genuinely-well-regarded joke.
Yes and no. This may have been the origin but sneed blew up in 2 ways
The first was that it was the ideal way to ruin the "comfy simpsons threads" which always more or less just people parroting the same "SIMPSONS WAS GREAT UNTIL SEASON 9!" shit. By posting what was honestly a pretty great visual gag that demonstrated how the show's decline was overtime and not just sudden downhill.
And then we get to the real big reason it took off.
For some reason, it pissed off the jannies who would, at this point, celebrate similar spam memes like "tbh tbh tbh", the angrier it made Cinemaphile's jannies, the funnier it became to spam. Especially when they seemed to lose their shit at how it approached a similar level of popularity to Baneposting
A lot of it was absurdly forced but there were some moments like a few of the simpsons edits or that one time they got kaiba to do a sneed joke in an official tournament that was being streamed
There was a thing on Cinemaphile where people would just post "i don't get it" and a picture of the Sneed's Feed and Seed sign. Later on it became a thing on Cinemaphile to interrupt "comfy Simpsons threads." If I recall it was somewhat forced by one guy at first, but everybody started doing it. People would spam Sneed in them, including all parts of the scene. Eventually it just became funny to say Sneed. Or "formerly." Sneed edits were posted constantly, often intentionally low effort.
Posts like that started getting deleted, which only made the meme more popular. People started subtly quoting the scene and doing anything they could to sneedpost.
Sneed became a symbol of saying frick you to jannies.
In addition to this, it's the farmers mocking Homer and Homer buying gummi bears is a pretty funny scene even outside the meme. E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt), aka "the tomacco episode," was the best Season 11 episode for me, one of the last memorable episodes that I enjoyed before I stopped watching the show. That's probably true for a lot of people.
I think it's pretty cool that the meme escalated to the point that a Simpson writer added to the lore and the Simpsons wiki changed. And how that writer turned out to be the inspiration for one of my favorite Simpsons scenes.
I also liked how esoteric sneedposting got. Like clipped screenshots of anything from the episode, hidden messages in posts, etc. Jannies would still try to delete stuff like that, so it was constantly evolving. The entire episode became a meme.
I'd like to expand on this, it was very intentionally forced by a guy on Cinemaphile that was mad that Simpsons threads were happening there and wanted to derail them. He forced it in every Simpsons-related thread there until Cinemaphile started to like it themselves through mere exposure effect. Then they spread it everywhere because that was back when Cinemaphile was full of meme-spouters. That guy was probably furiously jacking off to the fact that for a couple of years Simpsons discussion online was almost impossible, it was basically the whole internet unwittingly playing into the whims of an autist.

This whole site is guilty of that, 30 year old boomer started as a minor Cinemaphile meme before one guy aggressively spammed it on every board. The internet then followed suit too. Almost the exact same thing happened with Virgin vs. Chad originating as a mockery of Quentin's posts on Cinemaphile. A shitload of modern internet culture was born out of people either copying Cinemaphile spergs directly or copying making fun of them without knowing the context at all.
I'm fascinated by how "vegana bones" became a joking colloquial term across the internet due to twittergays making fun of this guy, under the assumption that he unironically thought "vegana bones" were a real literal thing.
When he himself was referencing an old Cinemaphile meme, which started from ironically copying the phrase that some dumb anon had used seriously ages ago.
That one was especially funny because it was basically the rebirth of a meme that had been dead for nearly a decade. It'd be like if normalgays suddenly started using pedobear again or something.
This is accurate. I only wrote "somewhat forced" because I don't remember it taking long before all of Cinemaphile was doing it. Maybe like a couple weeks or something of the guy doing it alone. That's the part that's hard to remember, knowing Cinemaphile it might've been even faster. You'd probably have to go through archives to try figuring that out.
Can't remember either when Moe (moeposter) became incorporated into the meme as Sneed's enemy.

This is simultaneously really funny and kind of sad to me. Some of the most popular memes of the last decade are basically the product of schizos on Cinemaphile.
It's wild. Even "zoomer" becoming a standard way of referring to Gen Z started that way, because zoomer was originally just a variation on the "30 year old boomer" meme.
Most people here maybe. But not the literal boomers on Twitter using the term.

It actually works on both levels, both as a parody of boomer/mockery of young people referring to anybody over 30 as a boomer, but also plays into the idea that Gen Z are hyperactive with short attention spans.

Yeah, it works out well as a term for young people. I wonder if we'll call alphas something new or if it'll just stay zoomers for young and boomers for old.

A few years ago we reached the point where the majority of the content on the internet was created by people being manipulated by algorithms. With the recent explosion in AI it's only a matter of time before the companies running the algorithms decide to cut out the human element altogether and use bots to produce "content" to be consumed by other bots in an infinite loop of number going up before it all eventually collapses in on itself. We've hit peak meaning and it's all downhill from here.
Yeah but are they consciously aware that the term emerged from a minor meme on Cinemaphile being spammed incessantly across the site until an autist forced it into being an internet-standard meme?
>Eventually it just became funny to say Sneed.
This. You need to understand, writing out "sneed" in a thread is the equivalent to saying, 'I don't care about what you're talking about, frick you, have a post worth less than nothing.'
Something does not become a meme on Cinemaphile because it's funny. It becomes a meme because it's annoying. Especially when it's annoying to you, because that's funny.
The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Frick and Suck".
It's nufunny. Nufunny is when you recognize "content" and post "content". Sneed, Bane, and Pepe are all forms of nufunny. LOOK, I DON'T HAVE AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT IN MY HEAD BUT I POSTED A PEPE AND SAID SNEED, DO I FIT IN YET?
People spam memes because it gets under people's skin. Same reason people troll. Children and teenagers have an innate desire to rebel. Part of that desire to rebel is reflected as contrarianism. If the old man doesn't like it, then they do. Pretty simple psychology.
It is, without question, the height of moronation here. It's all buttholes spamming it because they think it makes them fit in. You ever see that quote about how if you pretend to be moronic long enough you'll eventually be surrounded by actual morons? Well it's evidently fricking true.
I laugh at everything but I've always considered Sneed to be painfully fricking forced, it was around for literal months before it gained any traction and that's only because other unfunny autists eventually found it
Jokes that are naturally funny catch on almost immediately and people are quick to share it with out people whereas jokes that have been around months gaining traction aren't good jokes, eventually it just found enough poeple with low enough standards then when they look around and see people not laughing they double down and insist it's the greatest joke of all time
Jokes should appear low effort and relaxed whereas this is the worst combination of high effort with extreme desperation
I think the aggressive forcing of it is part of the joke/meme. Not sure what joke was supposed to take off without forcing, if that's the joke itself. People posted "i don't get it" for months before it took off, but that was effectively a different meme than what it became.
Never lost that aura of forced desperation though, I genuinely never feel like people posting sneed are trying to make me laugh, feels like they're just saying "I totally belong here"
1. It's a Cinemaphile thing not a Cinemaphile thing
2. Its stupidity and repetition is the entire reason it's meant to be funny, just like Baneposting
3. His name isn't "Al" it's just fricking Sneed
Bane posting wasn't funny because it was repetitive it was repetitive because it was funny, people will post sneed shit with zero comedic timing and yet baneposting is so beloved all you need to do is accidentally show something with a guy standing legs apart with his thumbs in his waist or wearing a mask and people are already laughing
Disagree, as funny as sneed pissing off the janny is, the whole "willed a plane crash into existence" thing just makes Baneposting too powerful, I don't even believe in that manifested shit and still.
Part of it was it was posted and explained a lot, where jannies got mad that people kept explaining it. Then it went bigger when it started to be counter culture against the jannies who kept nuking it, since most Simpsons threads were becoming sneed.
Memes are memes they're not black, white, hispanic, asian, male, female, non-binary, or LGBTQIA. They are for everyone to use regardless or who you are or what you identify as. Assigning identifiers to images is just another way to divide this already fractured world.

That sounds funnier than the actual meme

This. You need to understand, writing out "sneed" in a thread is the equivalent to saying, 'I don't care about what you're talking about, frick you, have a post worth less than nothing.'
I also like variant memes like "Jimmy Neutron's Fimmy Neutron and Simmy Neutron, formerly Hugh's"
I think Sneed appeals to many as a symbol of rural Americans striking back at cityslickers (including jannies).
I am kinda surprised I don't see these two get roped into the sneed meme more often considering the obvious similarities.
Yeah. They even mock Spongebob for his fancy German/hamburger car.
2x Super Bowl Champion btw
Something does not become a meme on Cinemaphile because it's funny. It becomes a meme because it's annoying. Especially when it's annoying to you, because that's funny.
Why didn't milhouse catch on as much? Not enough to work with? Spammers gave up too easily?
milhouse never caught on because milhouse was never a meme
When you put it like that, so much shit on here makes sense now.
holy shit is that real
I just think they're Sneed.
Memes generally aren't funny. It's zoomer humor.
Get off of Cinemaphile, grandpa
>implying most of our 2000s memes weren't cryptical and weird as frick unless you knew the context
That's what make them kino.

So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Frick and Suck".
>So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Frick and Suck".
Why would a farm supply store be named that?
It didn't use to be a farm supply store, Sneed took the business in a different direction when he bought it.
It's nufunny. Nufunny is when you recognize "content" and post "content". Sneed, Bane, and Pepe are all forms of nufunny. LOOK, I DON'T HAVE AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT IN MY HEAD BUT I POSTED A PEPE AND SAID SNEED, DO I FIT IN YET?
sneed
For you
Kino.
Will Sneed ever have mainstream popularity?
I always thought it started cause it was an oddly dirty/crude joke even by Simpsons standards. Feels more Futurama speed to me.
It's not funny, Cinemaphile's humor is forcing the same joke over and over by spamming threads. There's nothing organic about it
>forcing the same joke over and over by spamming threads
But that's funny
I think the joke is funny as a form of derailment. A thread is talking about culture war bullshit, derail it with sneedposting
>Sneed edit of Jackbox
Didn't expect that would exist
Everyone loves Sneed, no one cares about Chuck
He's Chuck but he's also Sneed
>tamzarian
deepest lore
the same episode also has the first frame in Simpsons history
>the first frame in Simpsons history
i don't think that's right
no it definitely is
People spam memes because it gets under people's skin. Same reason people troll. Children and teenagers have an innate desire to rebel. Part of that desire to rebel is reflected as contrarianism. If the old man doesn't like it, then they do. Pretty simple psychology.
Well Mr. Sneed had done it
The Feed and Seed had won it
With Chuck fricking, sucking all the while
Homer's gucci loafers made us smile
forced antihumor meme
It's a anti joke like saying "dunca ccino"
I remember when you’d get a 3 day ban for even responding to a sneed poster . It really pushed the mindless spam into beloved meme territory
Its chuckle worthy. Thats it.
Its losers from Cinemaphile that spammed it nonstop to the point where its just annoying now.
Well pardon us, Mr. Gucci Loafers
It's a forced meme done by an autist trying to emulate bane posting.
What more of an explanation do you want?
"Why?"
Who cares.
And now it has outlasted baneposting. Making it the greatest meme in Cinemaphile history.
lol bane posting is just as unfunny and forced as bane posting
It is, without question, the height of moronation here. It's all buttholes spamming it because they think it makes them fit in. You ever see that quote about how if you pretend to be moronic long enough you'll eventually be surrounded by actual morons? Well it's evidently fricking true.

I miss dabbing. Shit just disappeared one day.

what the frick's wrong with the sign
I think he tried to make the place look run down so the sign is barely hanging on
I laugh at everything but I've always considered Sneed to be painfully fricking forced, it was around for literal months before it gained any traction and that's only because other unfunny autists eventually found it
Jokes that are naturally funny catch on almost immediately and people are quick to share it with out people whereas jokes that have been around months gaining traction aren't good jokes, eventually it just found enough poeple with low enough standards then when they look around and see people not laughing they double down and insist it's the greatest joke of all time

Never lost that aura of forced desperation though, I genuinely never feel like people posting sneed are trying to make me laugh, feels like they're just saying "I totally belong here"
To some extent all Cinemaphile memes are like that
Cinemaphile is literally just an entire board of forced memes.
>the two biggest memes on Cinemaphile
>are based on Cinemaphile properties
Did they ever meme'd something from Cinemaphile?
same reason picardía/meme ball became a meme
1. It's a Cinemaphile thing not a Cinemaphile thing
2. Its stupidity and repetition is the entire reason it's meant to be funny, just like Baneposting
3. His name isn't "Al" it's just fricking Sneed
>political shilling
>outdated reference
Thank God the Sneed guy came in and saved it.
>renewed focus on agricultural supplies
So it really was a frick n suck?

I laugh at Sneed. Bane was formerly the best, but Sneed surpassed it years ago.
Disagree, as funny as sneed pissing off the janny is, the whole "willed a plane crash into existence" thing just makes Baneposting too powerful, I don't even believe in that manifested shit and still.
no, it's just something stupid that redditards spout over and over like "the cake is a lie"
Sneed's Feed and Seed
Formerly Chuck's
Part of it was it was posted and explained a lot, where jannies got mad that people kept explaining it. Then it went bigger when it started to be counter culture against the jannies who kept nuking it, since most Simpsons threads were becoming sneed.
I WANT MY
I WANT MY
I WANT MY FEED AND SEED
It was a subtle joke
That wiki page is wrong, Sneed is in 4 episodes, not 2
Sneed also appears in Hit and Run
Look how far they come, Cinemaphilebros.
Memes are memes they're not black, white, hispanic, asian, male, female, non-binary, or LGBTQIA. They are for everyone to use regardless or who you are or what you identify as. Assigning identifiers to images is just another way to divide this already fractured world.
You won't get it
Who are they again?
is and old meme from Cinemaphile from 2014-2015 or 2016.
There comes a point when something stops being a meme and becomes something more. This has clearly reached that.
