If you want raise the quality of discussion, gifs and one-liners don't do that. All they do is show that the original post is controversial. It takes a real supported argument to show the original post is bad.
Lazy replies beget lazy threads.

Of course replies are going to be lazy for a ridiculous subject. There's no benefit to typing up a detailed thesis that meticulously breaks down why ridiculous subjects are ridiculous. They're proprtionately lazy to the subject, which appears to be just some stream of consciousness craziness that wasn't thought out before the submit button was clicked.
(EDIT: Based on a subsequent reply, it seems like the subject was a joke anyway. And everyone knows that detailed analysis and thoughtful explanations *always* makes jokes funnier).
Ridiculous threads beget lazy replies. And holding the replies to some higher standard than the subjects being submitted seems odd, quite frankly.
Eagerly awaiting your peer review on my reply before I submit it to the academic board for review before publishing further.
