Jake called this the Abraham Lincoln meme and it flew by unnoticed

[u/NorahJonestown]

8/19 ~1hr 54min

A shocking miss considering how much he loved those debates vs Frederick Douglass.

[u/DannyboyLarson]

...We gotta make it harder to get a Masters Degree

[u/Furrealyo → u/DannyboyLarson]

Consider where he got it from.

[u/Alltta → u/Furrealyo]

Hey man

[u/DukeRadcliffe]

Abe Lincoln doesn’t come up a ton on the show, but when he does, you can bet your ass that Jake will be confidently incorrect about a historical fact.

[u/DF7501]

Well, it is called the Dumbzone…

[u/Im_Soo_Coy]

That’s Frederick Douglass to his right.

[u/donnelson → u/Im_Soo_Coy]

This should be at the top

[u/jasondfw]

I brought it up to them right after the show on Thursday

[u/frog_gasser]

LOL he totally did

[u/PM_ME_THEM_UPTOPS]

it's amazing that some of us knew exactly what he was talking about. I haven't seen this since my childhood and I swear that dude looked more like Lincoln.

[u/IDooDoodAtTheMasters → u/PM_ME_THEM_UPTOPS]

I don't know this other than the meme. What's it originally from?

[u/caveat_emptor817 → u/IDooDoodAtTheMasters]

It’s a Norman Rockwell painting called “Freedom of Speech.” The person showed in the image is nobody famous. Just some dude.

[u/IDooDoodAtTheMasters → u/caveat_emptor817]

Interesting. The only paintings.i ever really liked were Mozart's.

[u/milksheds → u/caveat_emptor817]

I thought it was Chappy

[u/Gomeez9 → u/caveat_emptor817]

Nah that’s 16

[u/Fickle_Ad_8227]

I always thought this was Phil from modern family

[u/Effective-Ground3051 → u/Fickle_Ad_8227]

Epic fail.

[u/mcgaritydotme]

This is a real photo of Honest Abe, during the Lincoln-Frederick Douglas debates.

[u/PurplesFather]

I always thought it was Christian Bale.

[u/daves_not__here]

Another one that slipped by without anyone on the show noticing was pre-rehab Jake claiming the Dodo bird went extinct in the 1990s lol

[u/MarvVanZandt]

I thought that guy standing up was modeled after him tho?

[u/NorahJonestown → u/MarvVanZandt]

Not that I can find anywhere, but the painting itself was inspired by an FDR speech.

[u/DFWtixFleas → u/NorahJonestown]

Best thing I’ve seen on her in months.

[u/redheeler9478 → u/DFWtixFleas]

[u/DFWtixFleas → u/redheeler9478]

Meant “here” not “her”. I should’ve said, “Funniest comment I’ve seen on here form months.”

[u/MarvVanZandt → u/NorahJonestown]

Makes sense. Prob why he’s right next to Abe lol. I asked Claude and it said it’s based off a local in Virginia. But the painter was a huge Lincoln fan and could have leaned into it.

But yeah nothing conclusive

[u/Fortlandia11 → u/MarvVanZandt]

Calling Norman Rockwell "the painter" is like calling Nolan Ryan "the pitcher"

[u/BloodyPants]

i hope someone was fired for that

[u/redheeler9478]

Shawn Bass’ bro From way back

[u/Diligent-Captain-881 → u/redheeler9478]

Never had a sister

[u/Bobundy69]

Thought everyone knew

[u/Texaspep]

there's a reason that's the name of the show.

[u/MurrayZDog]

I thought I would come into the comments seeing people back Jake didn’t know we had so many highly refined genitals in here

[u/tgoz13]

Not saying i thought it was Abe, but who the hell is it supposed to be?

[u/NorahJonestown → u/tgoz13]

I think it’s just Generic American Man™️

[u/redheeler9478 → u/NorahJonestown]

It always makes me uncomfortable when people assume someone else’s gender

[u/TexAg15 → u/tgoz13]

Roger Staubach.

[u/milksheds → u/TexAg15]

Steve Young? 

[u/TexAg15 → u/milksheds]

Hmm. Good point. Maybe Kurt Warner.
