DOCTORS are increasingly worried about a woman who has lost the power of speech due to years of expressing herself only in inane, unfunny internet memes.
Years of heavy social media use have left Nikki Hollis totally reliant on memes for communication, including Will Ferrell in Anchorman, a cartoon cyclist putting a stick between his own spokes, and an irritable-looking cat.
Dr Emma Bradford said: “Ms Hollis’s condition was incredibly hard to diagnose, mainly because she just kept getting out her phone and showing me a picture of Fry from Futurama with no context.
“I expected serious head trauma, perhaps from a car accident, but a brain scan indicates she’s just spent too long posting internet shite and has forgotten how to form words or type a proper sentence.
“Her condition is similar to locked-in syndrome, only she’s trapped in there with Liam Neeson making an intimidating phone call and Baby Yoda. It’s terrifying. I mean, Anchorman came out in 2004. How lame is that?”
When asked about her condition, Hollis posted a picture of Captain Picard facepalming, suggesting she was exasperated, or that the question was foolish, or that she just liked Star Trek.
Therapist Donna Sheridan said: “We’re not making much progress. Today I finally got Nikki to type ‘lol’, which is sort of a word. Then she found an incomprehensible Stranger Things meme and it was back to square one.”
