Memes and popular quotes as the top comments. I had to double check the page's URL to make sure I really was on HN.

Oh, man, I love seeing the typical uptight HNer in action. ONLY SERIOUS BUSINESS HERE, GUISE, PLEASE. cries and hides

There are plenty of places on the web to spout memes and references to popular games/movies/whatever, I don't see why we have to bring this over here. It's the very definition of "noise". I also fail to see how the parent's quote has anything to do with TFA, besides being from the Portal game. It offers no insight whatsoever.

I agree with simias. When I want to read memes, popular quotes, etc, I go to reddit or something. When I want to read potentially interesting technological discussions, I come to HN. These aren't the right words, but even if HN is "uptight" and "only serious business", that's pretty much why I come here.

I don't know, as long as it's just one thread I think it's ok to have some fun every now and then.

What's fun about it? It's not like it's an original witty thought. It's just regurgitation. And it's about as palatable to read.
