Can someone explain this meme to me please? It generally seems to be posted after someone posts something dumb or redundant. But where/why did it begin?

...

...and we all know what the first reply to this thread is going to be, so let's skip the situational irony, shall we?

Thanks.

I believe it started in Sports Talk, when new users were posting (rather idiotic and redundant) threads willy nilly and the vernacular spread over to Chit Chat.

I could be way the fuck off base, though.

HE CAN BE TAUGHT!

no its been around since before i started posting...
basically if you haven't been on here long you do not understand the thick sarcasm that is on here so don't act like you do... you also do not know that tww is one the leading edge of intarweb trends so you rarely ever post something :new: so basically shut up, listen, comment until you get some say 1000 posts i believe 3000 is a better number

I must say I expected a LOT more of this:
