Trying too hard. You just aren't funny, anon, and if you actually did get filtered by Ulysses then you aren't intelligent either. I guess the only thing I can recommend is for you to actually kys. Sorry.

Sadly, trying to force a meme like OP is a bit gay. I used to write copypastas but they’re not as good as I thought they were. I tried to intertextualise Finnegans Wake and Artemis Fowl pastas. It was cringe.
