Aaron Rodgers & Jay Cutler Meme
The meme I created was of Quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers and Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears meeting after the last game between the Bears and the Packers at Lambeau Field in 2011. This was the time when the Green Bay Packers made a run to Super bowl 45 and won the championship. It might come as a surprise to people that the two quarterbacks are actually good friends even though their teams have been fierce rivals for more than 90 years.
The picture shows Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers talking after the game. The caption says Jay is telling Aaron that he got a seven year contract extension. His contract extension is worth $126 million. Aaron then responds to that by saying thanks for the next seven NFC (National Football Conference) North Titles. For this meme I used two tropes, irony and synecdoche. The irony in the meme comes from Aaron saying thanks for the next seven NFC North titles. It is insinuating that both the Chicago Bears and Jay Cutler stink. A Packer fan like me would find the meme as being humorous, but a Bears fan like my mom would not find the meme so funny because it would be poking fun at her team. The ironic part of it is that as a result of the Bears signing Jay Cutler for seven more years it will bring the Packers seven more years of wins against the Bears. The synecdoche trope that could be derived from the meme would be that Jay Cutler sucks for lack of a better term and it also labels the entire Chicago Bears football team as being bad as well. Many Bears fans that I know do not like Jay Cutler and hate the fact that he was signed for so long and for so much money.
