/r/ArabFunny is a subreddit dedicated to poorly edited memes which parody memes sent by Arab users over the entirety of social media, the subreddit was created on November 26, 2018 by user u/Ibrajew (EKHM EKHM it's Ibradude). The subreddit would quickly pick up steam and begin growing due to it's original humor style, borrowing some of OkBuddyRetard's finest irony and mixing it with some middle eastern 2010s punjabi free movie downloads. The purpose of the subreddit is to of course create ironic versions of these types of memes to such a degree that it becomes too obvious that the meme is ironic, excessive amounts of random arabic videos, soundbites and the quality of the video usually being awful, also let us not forget the clickbait arrows. ArabFunny somewhat resembled /r/ComedySeizure's, or /r/21stCenturyHumor's style of irony, but with a bit of Arab humor added onto it.
What Fits onto The Subreddit
r/arabfunny is a subreddit dedicated to surreal, ironic, impotent memes that are in arabic and/or southern asian languages. These memes can sometimes make no sense at all, giving them a "what factor" when you see them, making them humorous.
Subreddit's History
On November 26th, 2018 the user u/Ibrajew would launch the subreddit /r/ArabFunny. It took some influence from poorly made Arabic memes shared on the internet, primarly those found on WhatsApp or Facebook.
In early 2019 /r/ArabFunny and /r/WorldFunnies would partner together, WorldFunnies was another subreddit created by Ibradude related to ArabFunny, however instead of just having memes related to one region of the world (The Middle East) world funnies would have memes similar to ArabFunny's style, but for every place in the world, think of Russia, Eastern Europe. Or the balkans, perhaps in some way WorldFunnies was proto /r/2Balkan4U Humor.
On March 18th, 2019 a subreddit known as /r/ArabFunny was created. It worked similarly to how /r/DFMAnarchy worked. ArabFunny but with relatively more loose rules.
Around late 2019 the subreddit would witness a large amount of sudden growth, this inevitably caused lots of drama aswell as lots of users not understanding what an ArabFunny meme was, posting unrelated content or riding already dead jokes, to combat this the mod team would attempt to ban some memes and try to keep the subreddit fresh.
On September 29th, 2022 user u/Wannabedankestmemer would become a moderator on the subreddit, after long years of total inactivity from the mod team of the subreddit he would attempt to establish new rules and change back the atmosphere of the subreddit to regain it's former glory.
