    What’s with this meme format having repeated words at the end of the first line and beginning of the second. It happens so frequently it surely can’t just be inattention.

      I think it’s a way of denoting satire. The opinion given, like the grammar used, is intentionally bad. I think it originates with r/okbuddyretard where many of the posts are created in ways that mimic how 12 year olds on the internet speak.

      Maybe it’s a reference to the phenomenon when a word repeated that way isn’t noticed, or an earlier meme that uses it?
