This one’s kinda going over my head. Is this a CTE joke? I get that it’s referencing 50 first dates but I don’t know why

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 36 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It is a joke based on both the movie 50 First Dates because the ending has the movie a morning thing and Kelce is in a sport with a lot of brain injuries that frequently lead to memory loss.

So yeah, CTE + a com com.

I don't think it went over your head.

Damn, ice cold.

? NOT_RICK discerned what I did not on first view. Compliment. The meme did not whoosh past NOT_RICK. Why do you think "ice cold" unless you mean 'super cool'?

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was sarcasm. Sorry.

[–] Gikiski@fedia.io 1 points 6 months ago

No worries. I will probably add "thumbs up" or something next time to make it clearer.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

That's my guess, too.

I initially read it as, "Travis Kelce is so lucky that Taylor Swift feels obligated to remind him every morning." CTE makes more sense, but isn't quite as amusing.

That's as much as I got from it too. I did manage to find an old article where he had a concussion with memory loss.
