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.

Your turn.
Anything. Agree. Disagree. Add soy sauce to your gluten free cheesecake.
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!
