2018 would prove to be a bad year for /r/ComedyCemetery. Although the year started off well, with the Adam Ellis Redemption Arc in March-April, the subreddit would get increasingly political and partisan throughout the rest of 2018, with a continuously lessening focus on Weed Bro, Funwaa, Adam ellis and Natty. The death knell to /r/ComedyCemetery came on 24 December 2018, when Pewdiepie reviewed the subreddit and sent a large influx of normies to destroy its culture. This is considered the end of the /r/ComedyCemetery golden age.

Meanwhile, in /r/[[Gumcels]], the subreddit had begun worshipping a deity named Gumwaaluigi, although it eventually just became Waluigi and sub became a waluigi subreddit.

By mid-2019, /r/ComedyCemetery was a shadow of its former self. Users simply posted things they thought was unfunny. Funwaa and Weed Bro were but distant memories. /r/[[ComedyNecromancy]] and /r/[[ComedyNecrophilia]] had come to assume seperate identities from /r/ComedyCemetery over the course of 2018. Over the course of 2019, /r/Gumcels and /r/ComedyCemeteryLore continued activity, albeit at a low level with only a single post every few days. /u/koopinator2, mod of /r/ComedyCemeteryLore, summed the subreddit philosophy up as "better to have 4 good posts per month than 5000 bad ones like /r/comedycemetery". Seeing the declining state of /r/Gumcels, /u/koopinator2 issued a statement of sorrow on 18 August 2019. On 18 October 2019, the Fall of /r/[[Gumcels]] took place when the moderators closed submissions and essentially dissolved the community.
