Finally! Whenever we play Cards Against Humanity at game night, my real estate agent friend always complains about how there isn't enough real estate agent-related humor in it. He's gonna be so happy when I pull out What Do You Meme? Career Series: Real Estate Agents. Hopefully they release a Career Series game for assistant manager at Target next.
"Take a moment to guess which two careers were introduced to the career series." Fast food workers, and um... umm... um... "Those were both good guesses."
This comment made me realize that this is the possible reason why this game managed to perform so well in sales. People were buying it out of morbid curiosity to see what is the worst possible thing they can manage to create. It all makes sense now
@@1MrAshey if that is the case, then I hope they at least decided to buy weird expansion combinations. Real estate humour x NSFW pack x Spongebob pack.
Here's an idea: why don't they add another card type? Have the picture cards, but also have players draw from two different card pools. These card pools would effectively behave like the white and black cards in Cards Against Humanity, with the black cards having a meme template, while the white cards have random captions.
How is this series the only semi-successful modern tabletop game to *not* have a Marvel expansion or licensed edition Also if we’re just going to be stuck with these things, the fact that they haven’t tried any video game/gamer expansions feels like a missed opportunity, both since it’s a large chunk of internet culture and also because they could arrogantly claim “the game is no longer just for white moms during family game night BWL!!!1!1!1!1!1!1!”
can't wait for WDYM brainrot edition where you get incomprehensible pictures and caption cards like "b e a n s" and "when the you you the you when you"
Played the family version with my mom, aunt, and 12 year old cousin, my soul wanted to leave my body, but I did exhale from my nose in a perverse form of slight laughter a couple times, so I guess they succeded.
Unironically, I bet that's why it exists.I can just picture someone typing meme into Google and one of the autocompletes being real estate. And that's more than enough market research for good ol' Relatable!
Arent all the career path expansions just gonna be Stock Images? Its propably why they went for Real Estate Agents. Most stock images are corporate suits.
I kinda think they got real estate agent from like market demographic data. Like I know a few people who would buy every one of those tie-ins and they’re all nurses and teachers lol like it makes me think the next career one is gonna be MLMs or Party Planners lol Definitely all stock photos though 😂
There's also a version called "What Do You Meme: Aussie Edition" that's about Australian culture. I remember seeing it all the time in Sanity before it closed down. I'm guessing that it's only available in Australia as not everyone is going to get our hilarious humour.
I feel like What Do you Meme would work well as like, a web game or jackbox game where 1. pictures are sourced directly from the internet in real time, so things don't get stale as fast, and 2. you just write your own answer instead of relying on answer cards that bottleneck your punchlines. Oh also either of those options would be half the price of any actual paper release of What Do You Meme, both financially and socially
@@rileymack1489 No, Tee KO is pretty different. For starters, you draw the pictures, they're not preexisting images given new context. Secondly, you don't write captions for the specific images, you write generic-ish captions that get distributed among players to try and match with the drawings, which are also randomly distributed. If you're gonna try and compare it to an existing Jackbox game, Survive the Internet and Talking Points are significantly closer to my proposition (and by extension What Do You Meme) than Tee KO. Tee KO is just the one people know better because it's popular. Also, hot take: Champ'd up is just Tee KO but better in just about every way
@@TheSurvivor-tv9jf By having the images dynamically loaded from a server instead of being physical cards, it solves the issue of the memes being already stale on purchase, and only getting worse with time
Damn my guesses of septic tank cleaner and anesthesiologist for the 2 2023 career editions weren't too bad after the bombshell of real estate agents were dropped
They made the first game, saw who bought it the most, and have kept asking themselves “what do suburban millennial moms like” and have not been wrong ONCE
I am both so disappointed there is no "Among Us" edition but also very thankful. It would be just, amazing if they released an amogus themed expansion... Years after the game stopped being relevant. That would absolutely slap my funny bone
The fact there isn’t a single gaming-related expansion kinda feels like a missed opportunity, especially if we’re already getting to What Do You Meme: *Real Estate Agents* levels of drastic A Grand Theft Auto / Rockstar Games pack could definitely work just off the back of San Andreas alone
Funny the the first expansion was called the” basic” edition because looking at all the franchises they worked with that seems to be there target audience
Eh WDYM at least functions as a game, no matter how unfunny it is. Adultery makes no sense as a board game because the only people willing to play it may as well just skip the gameplay and get into the foreplay
The whole video I'm going "who, besides from cringe parents, is this game actually for?" but the careers version launch answered it completely. Of COURSE their target audience is nurses lmaoooo
Ah, Retsupurae. Good times. I remember thinking at the time that this would bomb immediately. I was wrong in flesh, but not in spirit. Also I have a key memory of the Logan Paul-looking guy(?) in the promotional video being the least convincing actor I've ever seen when he was pretending to actually have fun playing the game.
Those actually make a decent amount of sense, since truck drivers and laborers in general frequently have their own little sub-cultures and injokes; not that the creators would know them. The trend I've noticed is that the careers they've picked tend to have break rooms that might be open to having a card game or two in them.
I remember really wanted to keep this game as we got it for a white elephant present one year ( I think it was my first year being old enough to join in) and I immediately gravitated to it, then we proceeded to only play it a few times before it getting replaced by CAH and it was even the original version. Im genuinely surprised that the Meme guys never got around to doing a Sunny expansion since so many memes come from that series but I guess it wasn't in the cards.
I don't know what they're thinking, not making Career Series: Fast Food. I can imagine maaaaybe that one might be slightly funny. "When a customer orders a ton of food, then tells you they forgot their wallet" okay I changed my mind and now I hate myself.
I played what do you meme once at a high school thing where the supervising teacher decided to look the other way and no one liked it and we put it away. I have never personally heard of anyone else owning or playing the game in my life
I played this game with my family but they had the office pack mixed into it and because ive never watched the office whenever i got an office punchline/plot i sat there. like an alien trying to discover what fun or jokes are.
I saw this at Walmart, thought it was weird and bought Uno: No Mercy and Chutes & Ladders. And now you're telling me that there's *TWENTY-SIX* versions of this thing?
The trend with the Career line seems to be work that might have break rooms that would have games in them. Unfortunately this probably means no fast-food workers pack, which would be a smash hit, but I don't care anyway.
It seems like the main target audience is gen X and older millennials at this point, so I get why they made certain decisions, like the family friendly ones and some of the career choices. Nurses and teachers I can get, and real estate coming eventually could make sense, I know a guy who works in that and he has a ton of crazy stories, but it seems weird that they’d pick that over like, office workers, or retail, restaurants, anything like that
I played this game a bit differently at a club christmas party. Instead of choosing an image for a caption, we actually chose captions for the image, playing it very similar to cards against humanity where we all hand a card in, have the host for that turn shuffle them, read them out, and then pick a winner. Way more fun since we're all working with the same image and are picking a caption that could work well with it instead of getting a caption and some people slapping down an image card that works perfectly while you have fuck all.
That spongebob one has actual potential, there's over 9000 good choices for picture cards. Which reminds me, how is it there is no anime/Dragon Ball expansion yet? Or western animation pack? But real estate agents get one, for some reason? Huh???
And even Its Always Sunny is missing, with how many memes came from that show alone I'm surprised they didnt make an expansion for that show but Friends got one ?!?!?
@@crimson-cloud Marvel might work, but half the Star Wars memes I can think of right now have too much of a serious tone for a party game. We would get "it's a trap" and "this is where the fun begins" though.
This game is what I imagine the hoop-earringed demons that work in HR play in their lunchbreak after throwing out 3 stacks of unread resumes, right before informing 46 engineers that they're fired.
me and my friends just make the stupidest possible combinations with the disney one whenever i remember i have it. this is the only comedic value that can be gained from what do you meme. update: i believe it may have actually been “meme: the game”, whatever that is. also my sister seems to be using it in her weird haunted doll rituals in my basement.
my first guess for the career series decks was veterinary medicine. if not exclusively because i work with animals and my mom is a veterinary technician. but like, as corny as the cards would inevitably be, i dont think that would be a bad option if the company makes more career series decks. cant even begin to wrap my head around why real estate agents seemed more meme-able and relatable than something as chaotic and unpredictable as vet med. (and its not like they think healthcare workers are outside their target audience since the first career series deck released was the nursing edition.)
Not just a guy called FuckJerry, but his whole thing was stealing reddit memes and reposting them on Instagram. The guy's name isn't even Jerry! His name is Elliot! 🤬🤬🤬
My friends have a Snapchat where they post all our out of context quotes, so I copy and pasted them into a google doc and made this style of game. It’s infinitely funnier because it’s custom tailored to our sense of humor
I'm going to bet the next career line is going to be for librarians. Nothing is more boring than trying to have fun with librarians. I say this as someone who works in a library (can't technically call myself a librarian cause i did not go to library school). They're so boring i briefly got the name, "switchblade" because i carry a swiss army knife in my bag. They can't even handle a multi-tool.
@@livwake its literally a swiss army knife that i keep in my backpack. Is it weird to carry a screwdriver?? a small pair of scissors? Tweezers? cause those are in there too. it just also happens to come with a small knife. it's literally one of the most basic things to have, like keeping a couple band-aids or pads on you just in case.
my only experience with the game is when my mom bought the Family Edition last Christmas thinking it would be a good way to get my twin sister’s fiancé to join board game nights. we’re 26 and he’s 29, and the captions overwhelmingly reference elementary and middle school environments and concepts like bedtime and allowance money. it was an almost Brechtian ordeal of trying to emulate the version of a teenaged me that my parents had in their imaginations and reenacting that persona. it doesn’t come with an easel.
I played a game of this with my friends and I won by putting the “when your mom farts and you start looking at her differently” card on a picture of the smug looking kid
I remember one time I was watching a porn video, and while the performers were doing their thing, a there was a copy of 'What Do You Meme?' on a shelf or dresser in the background, and I just remember that being very distracting
Honestly, if you stitched this game together with Cards Against Humanity and Apples to Apples, you'd get the most chaotic yet understandable mess of a game known to man, and make all games involved 10x funnier.
I remember my mom got me a version of this game around the end of middle school. We never played it because I took a look at the cards and captions, and none of them even got a chuckle out of me.
I didn't realize there were multiple versions of this game. If you wanna ruin friendships you could play Mario Party or say you like Fire Emblem in Smash instead.
The meme machine got robbed in the tournament I'm pretty sure my friends are more likely to continue being my friends and generally respecting my integrity as a person if I invited them to play Adultery than if I invited them to play WDYM?
Finally, the original spongebob edition was too raunchy for my house of bubble-blowing babies. It's a good thing there's now a family edition. Spongebob is a bit too topical and vulgar.
My problem with expansions to CAH and WDYM is that they are sometimes way too specific and then stand out like a sore thumb, when mixing them into your standard deck. Instead of "Real Estate Agents" you could call it "People in suits" More general expansions would actually be better, I believe
I love the idea that this company employs thousands of cutting-edge market researchers and the designers meticulously pick out each meme like their life depends on it and that's why they're seeing all this success.
A few years ago someone at my dad’s work bought him the original version of this game because he’s known for being old fashion and out of touch with current humor and he got so angry he threw it away lol
They did career series and didn’t open with the most common first job in America: Food Service? Then they didn’t immediately follow up the home run with Retail?
Ah, Cards Against My Sanity. I was unfortunate enough to receive the original version as a Christmas gift. We played it once. We had more fun throwing individual cards into the fireplace than any "meme" that was made.
i swear there's a disney version of this! i saw it in one of those tech shop that tries to be Hip And Trendy. upon further investigation: it's a *clone* of what do you meme called.... "meme: the game" with the difference being that the cards are swapped. a *caption* is drawn first and the players have to pick a picture card. it's the epitome of changing 1 thing so that the lawyers can point it out in a potential lawsuit.
I’ve actually played this game and own it along with a few other expansions and editions. My family and I play it like you would cards against humanity, you pick the winning based on what works (funniest or makes most sense) or pure reactions (most laughter generated wins). Will admit we don’t play it super often in favor of cards against humanity, as my parents aren’t super into meme culture like my brother and I.
a funny thing i noticed about all of the tie-in expansions is that all of them are things that were already established in pop culture 10-20 years ago -- well, save for the tiktok version, but i guess it wasn't very popular with the (apparently real) crowd that is easily amused by something just being associated with tiktok. they like to act like they're ~hip with the kids~ but are more than aware that the majority of their target audience is at least one generation further back. not saying that young people don't like this style of humor at all or that nobody born before gen z/late millennials likes modern meme culture, but i think there's a reason that they chose the tie-ins they did.
Finally! Whenever we play Cards Against Humanity at game night, my real estate agent friend always complains about how there isn't enough real estate agent-related humor in it. He's gonna be so happy when I pull out What Do You Meme? Career Series: Real Estate Agents. Hopefully they release a Career Series game for assistant manager at Target next.

I would watch literally 10 hours of you talking about bad or weird board games.
I can't believe they didn't do a minion meme set, Facebook moms would eat that up
What Do You Meme is proof something can be wildly successful and also very bad.
I mean, Cocomelon and Call of Duty both exist, so...
That combo is everywhere, sadly it's been proven maaany times over.
Careful, with that attitude you might be the next person SSSniperWolf doxxes
Sturgeon's Law is a thing, you know...
My friends have a Snapchat where they post all our out of context quotes, so I copy and pasted them into a google doc and made this style of game. It’s infinitely funnier because it’s custom tailored to our sense of humor
2:17 Is that Scott the Woz?
I'm going to bet the next career line is going to be for librarians. Nothing is more boring than trying to have fun with librarians. I say this as someone who works in a library (can't technically call myself a librarian cause i did not go to library school). They're so boring i briefly got the name, "switchblade" because i carry a swiss army knife in my bag. They can't even handle a multi-tool.
In their defence it is weird to carry a knife
@@livwake its literally a swiss army knife that i keep in my backpack. Is it weird to carry a screwdriver?? a small pair of scissors? Tweezers? cause those are in there too. it just also happens to come with a small knife. it's literally one of the most basic things to have, like keeping a couple band-aids or pads on you just in case.
my only experience with the game is when my mom bought the Family Edition last Christmas thinking it would be a good way to get my twin sister’s fiancé to join board game nights. we’re 26 and he’s 29, and the captions overwhelmingly reference elementary and middle school environments and concepts like bedtime and allowance money. it was an almost Brechtian ordeal of trying to emulate the version of a teenaged me that my parents had in their imaginations and reenacting that persona.
it doesn’t come with an easel.
i hate the real estate agents edition real estate agents shouldnt be allowed to have fun
In that case, at least there's no Homeowners Edition
I played a game of this with my friends and I won by putting the “when your mom farts and you start looking at her differently” card on a picture of the smug looking kid
Time to port to tabletop sim and make the what do you meme amalgamation.
It will be comedy gold
I remember one time I was watching a porn video, and while the performers were doing their thing, a there was a copy of 'What Do You Meme?' on a shelf or dresser in the background, and I just remember that being very distracting
Wait til things wrap back around and these memes become nostalgic. Cha-ching for them lol
Honestly, if you stitched this game together with Cards Against Humanity and Apples to Apples, you'd get the most chaotic yet understandable mess of a game known to man, and make all games involved 10x funnier.
my sister was so excited to get the original game a few Christmases ago... it made me wish I had been an only child...
I remember my mom got me a version of this game around the end of middle school. We never played it because I took a look at the cards and captions, and none of them even got a chuckle out of me.
3:46 surprise Chills cameo
It baffles me the career series wouldn't target retail or food service. Y'know, jobs that large amounts of people have experience in
What Do You Meme is basically just 'Cards Against Humanity' but for wine moms and Gen-Xers who are confused and frightened by edgy humor.
90% of these sales are grandparents or moms trying to buy the kids something
UNIQUE VARIANTS? I FEEL THE AUTISM LOCKING IN!
Cards against humanity literally admits that is bad with the slogan the party game for terrible people
This guy has an energy i haven't seen in any youtube video in like 10 yrs i love it
You’re like the Scott the Woz of board games. I’m so glad I found your channel bro 👍
Wii U board game...
@@apples6684smash tour? XP
I didn't realize there were multiple versions of this game. If you wanna ruin friendships you could play Mario Party or say you like Fire Emblem in Smash instead.
it's weird to see something from retsupurae's Kickstarter Nonstarter series be actually successful
I think im having a stroke, They're still fucking making these?! What Universe an I in?!
I think a warehouse career edition would go hard.
Imagine all of the forklift cards!
@@BinglesP and pallet jacks oml
The meme machine got robbed in the tournament
I'm pretty sure my friends are more likely to continue being my friends and generally respecting my integrity as a person if I invited them to play Adultery than if I invited them to play WDYM?
Finally, the original spongebob edition was too raunchy for my house of bubble-blowing babies. It's a good thing there's now a family edition. Spongebob is a bit too topical and vulgar.
My problem with expansions to CAH and WDYM is that they are sometimes way too specific and then stand out like a sore thumb, when mixing them into your standard deck.
Instead of "Real Estate Agents" you could call it "People in suits"
More general expansions would actually be better, I believe
Career edition doesn't feature ANY part time job, yet you named your company "Relatable"
I love the idea that this company employs thousands of cutting-edge market researchers and the designers meticulously pick out each meme like their life depends on it and that's why they're seeing all this success.
A few years ago someone at my dad’s work bought him the original version of this game because he’s known for being old fashion and out of touch with current humor and he got so angry he threw it away lol
18:20 and your soul
Go check out every risk game ever if you ever got the time :>
I never considered that, I'll look into them
Surprised there wasn’t a the Simpsons edition.
They did career series and didn’t open with the most common first job in America: Food Service? Then they didn’t immediately follow up the home run with Retail?
People who work food services and retail aren't out of touch enough to like this game
Massacre's Mansion needs to find this and make the What Do You Meme almagam
why would they pick real estate agents instead of like retail or something?
I want to believe that the people who made this game did so as a satirical critique of memes and meme culture.
What do you meme selling well is proof of the NPC meme.
Ah, Cards Against My Sanity. I was unfortunate enough to receive the original version as a Christmas gift. We played it once. We had more fun throwing individual cards into the fireplace than any "meme" that was made.
i swear there's a disney version of this! i saw it in one of those tech shop that tries to be Hip And Trendy.
upon further investigation: it's a *clone* of what do you meme called.... "meme: the game" with the difference being that the cards are swapped. a *caption* is drawn first and the players have to pick a picture card. it's the epitome of changing 1 thing so that the lawyers can point it out in a potential lawsuit.
What do you meme Twitter edition would just be CAH.
I’ve actually played this game and own it along with a few other expansions and editions. My family and I play it like you would cards against humanity, you pick the winning based on what works (funniest or makes most sense) or pure reactions (most laughter generated wins). Will admit we don’t play it super often in favor of cards against humanity, as my parents aren’t super into meme culture like my brother and I.
a funny thing i noticed about all of the tie-in expansions is that all of them are things that were already established in pop culture 10-20 years ago -- well, save for the tiktok version, but i guess it wasn't very popular with the (apparently real) crowd that is easily amused by something just being associated with tiktok. they like to act like they're ~hip with the kids~ but are more than aware that the majority of their target audience is at least one generation further back. not saying that young people don't like this style of humor at all or that nobody born before gen z/late millennials likes modern meme culture, but i think there's a reason that they chose the tie-ins they did.
Imagine combining every expansion and edition into a supernova of outdation
This hurts to watch
