The ‘Arman in New York’ on a couch Meme is the only Meme you need this Summer
So I totally had a serious post planned for today. I’ve been receiving a fair few emails and questions regarding blog growth, monetisation etc and was intending on tackling that today.
However, over the weekend my friend linked me to this gem of a BuzzFeed piece titled ‘The “New York” On A Bed Meme Is The Only Meme You Need This Summer.’
After giggling like a two year old, sharing it all over Facebook and giggling like a two year old again, I realised so many other situations which deserved that meme- Especially in my personal life and recent events in New York City.
So friends, let’s rephrase that.
The ‘Arman in New York’ on a couch Meme is the only Meme you need this Summer.
BOOM. SNAP. CRACKLE. POP. CRISPY RICE CEREAL ON IT’S OWN IS GROSS…out loud.
1. When you open that one extra window in Google Chrome and it freezes everything.
2. When you are at the Bagel shop and the person in front of you asks for their bagel to be scooped out.
3. When you write a heartfelt blog post and use a photo of oatmeal as a (very minor) visual aid and get comments for said post proclaiming their love for oatmeal.
4. When your ‘Gluten Free’ friend douses their food liberally in soy sauce.
5. When your in a group of people and somehow the ‘chicken or the egg’ discussion comes into play.
6. When the ‘chicken or the egg’ discussion turns to a slew of ‘Why did the chicken cross the road?’ jokes.

14. When you try to take a ‘back shot’ to track gym progress and end up taking a photo of your hair.
15. When Tofu promises to be extra firm yet it wiggles like jello.

Oh yes, #3. This is one of the most ridiculous / leave-me-speechless/loose faith in humanity parts of the blog world. What do those commenters think? That nobody will notice they didn’t read the post? Actually, I wrote a whole post about commenting some time ago because it’s an important but apparently not self-explanatory part of blogging.
And re: #20: Hey, [Ar]man up and consider it a glimpse into what life as a woman is like . Not.
Right? That’s why I took a tonne of people off my reader, just not worth it!
Your version is a lot funnier in my opinion! Loling over “hi big boy”!!
Haha thanks Michele!
LOL to all of those- especially the gluten-free folks dipping their sushi into soy sauce…NO, just NO!!
I am crying! Like really literally spilling tears of laughter!
#17! Yes, so damn weird! And I thought of you and your Instagems the other day when I saw someone referring to his fruit only ‘birthday cake’ as low carb!
Additions from my life: When you buy a snack bar and after the first bite think it’s actually a dog biscuit!
When you buy a train ticket only to realize there’s no service on your line!
When you wait to the last minute to print something important and the printer just decides to decline the service!
Hahaha oh man. OMG. That happened to me in BERLIN. The silly airport train line which went nowhere!
Well illustrated argument. #3….#bloggerproblems. The Kardashian thing and the lack of geographical awareness… well, we do have a show called “are you smarter than a 5th grader” for a reason.
Right? #3 is going to be mentioned tomorrow!
We have that show too, and I um…sucked at it!
STAHHHHPPP I make that face like 100 times every day. Not even joking. All of these are perfect BIG BOY —-wtf
Haha right? And it was a reputable company too!
OMG yes, to ALL! and love the VOGUE ebook. haha. The soy sauce cracks me. Same with spelt bread, right?
p.s i’ve had brands call me cooter crunch, so it could be worse. LOL!
Haha, it was a reputable brand too- Crazy!
Hahahaha! LMFAO!
I know I am guilty of at least one of those…
I think many are!
LMFAO this is amazing Arman. I just… yeah…. this is just lol.
Haha cheers, Kate!
LOL Yesssss. Hey BIG BOY! This was too funny. I would add when you get emails from companies asking for partnerships that have NOTHING to do with your blog. Someone wanted me to collaborate on a post on prom dresses. Yeah, I’m 30 years old…
LOL. To be honest, I’d mistake you for a young’n.
You are so ridiculously funny man – N 16 and N 4 are my favourite 🙂
Haha cheers, mate- Appreciate it!
BIG BOY YOU ARE SO FUNNY. I’m still LOLing.. actually ROFLing.. Arman meme for too many abbreves that 99% of i dont understand (tbh imo smh idk).
AND I LOVE COUCHES.. i didn’t read any of the text but dang i need new sunglasses. 😉
Hahahaha. Expect part 2 next week!
This is perfect! That face is spot on for all these situations. I especially like the nod to quest bars and the #cheat hashtag…yeah, NO. Not a cheat. Thanks for making me laugh this morning!
Very welcome, Kaila!
Hahaha…I’m totally cracking up at this post this morning, Arman! But did you seriously get an email from a brand that addressed you as “Big Boy”? That’s more than a little creepy. I hope you decided to work with them!
Hahahaha it was the fondue place :p Is it bad that it’s not the first company to email me starting with that!
If I had a nickel for every time someone posts a pic of Greek yogurt with berries as #CheatClean, I would be one rich lady. And I’d invite you to hang out on my yacht and take selfies. Just sayin’. I feel you on the Quest Bar thing. ahhaha And I’ve never even tried a Quest Bar. Hilarious post.
Don’t get me started on that, in fact, tomorrow and Thursdays post!
now i will giggle like a 2 year old for the rest of the day 🙂 seriously your expression though
Thanks Dixya!
HAHAHAHAH this is my favorite post, ever.
Thanks Brittany!
Oh HELL, I just laughed my squat ass off. Seriously I can’t even. Oh, when someone say, I can’t even. Can’t WTF WHAT.
And when someone writes amazeballs and awesomesauce and bloobs and zoodles.
LOL. That is the worst. and i’m mentioning that in next week’s one haha that drives me bonkers!
LOL. This is probably one of my favorite posts form you so far, BIG BOY. <3
You’re a stunner buddos!
The Kardashian one nailed it. We so need to wake up to what is REAL news :).
and “hello BIG BOY” – you have to be kidding.
I know, right? YOUR awesome Adrienne 😉
Maybe we need a new dimension to our blogs. 🙂
Hey Big Boy! I like oatmeal too!!
The things brands say to collaborate ha!
Buzzfeed has nothing on you, Arman! I literally sprayed a little of my green smoothie when I read #7. Too funny. This was awesome.
Hahahahaha I do that many times, although the smoothie is….not green.
HAHA love it! I can’t stand when someone I am out with orders the same thing as me for the same reason!
YES. When we dine, I’m getting onion rings on my salad 😉
LOL!!!!
You forgot to mention your box of lady athletic gear. (That I still want) Those shoes. Canada sucks at having nice things in stores.
Haha, sending them home! You wouldn’t fit in them…SIZE SIX.
This was absolutely hilarious, I can’t believe someone actually sneezed into the whole foods hot bar. And on one of their ‘good’ days too :D! I read this while listening to some intense classical music and it just made everything so much funnier.
STORY OF MA LIFE BRO. Jello tofu is the worst! Kardashian one is also the worst, and of course, WHOLE FOODS! You forgot about the one where a vegan writes a rude comment on one of your non-vegan posts and where another person comments on an oatmeal post saying it’s too high in carbs! LOL 😀 can I just make all of these memes and spam my followers on Facebook?
If you like!
Oh big boy, you are so funny.
Thank you for referring to me by my real name!
Ugh yes, stupid Google Chrome!! Absolutely blasphemous to scoop out a bagel. Cute throwback pic 🙂 Much better meme than stanky New York’s haha. Okay, that’s it!
Hahaha thanks buddy!
Whenever I text you now I’m going to start it with “hello BIG BOY”
You’d better bahaha!
YOU’RE GOLDEN.
Others to add to your find collection of “Arman in New York” on a couch memes:
“When your phone starts vibrating in a silent public space and you’re trying to pretend like you don’t know what’s happening.”
“When the grocery store only has neon green bananas.”
“When someone sends you a snapchat that’s already on their story.” <—I'm so guilty of this
"When Madre sends 24 text messages in a row."
LOL. Wait for part 2 next week! 😉
This is hilarious… Some of those are pretty relatable. 😀 For a moment I thought I hadn’t scrolled, then I realized they were all the same pic. 😀
Haha thank you Emily!
LOL “Big Boy”!
If I had a meme like that, I would use it for when:
My nutritionist coworker says she’s allergic to wheat, but then downs a plate of regular pasta and says she’ll just take “digestive enzymes”
Someone takes a picture of themselves eating at the gym (like wtf your muscles aren’t going to deflate if you wait 10 minutes until you get home)
Omg. Or the dairy one. Drives me bonkers!
THE SCOOPED BAGEL! WORST IDEA EVER! I am the one who has to scoop that and it slows my progress. If you’re not that hungry, only eat half!
True that! Why waste a delicious bagel!
Hilarious 🙂 Your sister must have a very good sense of humor!
Haha, sometimes she’s being serious gah! :p
Love this post, big boy! And people actually scoop out their bagels?!?! WTF! Don’t hate me but 2am is actually “an early night” for me too haha
I know many who consider that an early night so your in the clear!
OMG I’m dying over here!!! This post was hilarious to read, and I can agree with you on…*scrolls back up and then down again* the IG comments before hashtagging (insert meme)! And…how many tabs did you have open before the freeze???
Omg. I have like…minimum 6.
When a certain someone keeps standing you up on Skype.
Hi. Miss you. Love you. That’s all.
It’s a two way street my dear! I don’t always need to be the first to contact or text! 🙂
bahaha #20 has happened to the BF..LUNA BARS!!! They’re so good though, it shouldn’t matter if they are supposed to be for women. 😉
They are delicious, I’ll eat them!
Hysterical. I loved it! This is also why I don’t eat tofu or Quest bars.
