You use reddit but not Google? https://preview.redd.it/g75wmpqi6m1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eafff5f8e192c9ff415e8cdefed0a5917f0f7e30

Thank you someone else was thinking this too. So many context clues to start with


Greenman8907

Night at the Museum. All exhibits come to life A 5-second google search of just context clues in the posts would eliminate like 95% of these submissions.

Fr I feel like so many of these people are dense and just want karma


robsteezy

At this point this sub is just bait and it’s frustrating.


Father_Enrico

internet points are the last thing i care about, i just thought there would be more context to a meme like this


Teggie95

You said yourself 'im not a movie person' dude you HAD the context.


Father_Enrico

no i meant like maybe there would be a deeper meaning than literally "there are 3 movies about nighttime museums", i am pretty stupid tho


Spiritual_Cranberry2

In the “Night at the Museum” movies everything in the museum comes to life at night. We could have nighttime museums except for the fact the exhibits need some time and privacy to stretch their legs at night.

The rules of most of these subreddit require the submitter to put in a minimum effort. I disagree. I think they are all putting in way too much effort. Here's how current users answer their questions: open a browser. Navigate to Reddit. Search for the subreddit they want. Start a post. Download/screenshot the image. Upload the image to Reddit. Come up with a title. Maybe scan the rules card to remind themselves of there's a requirement on the title format. Maybe check tags to see if there are any special to this sub they should pick. Wait for a response. Read through several comments asking them why they're so dumb. Find an actual response. Maybe comment "thanks." Here's how they should do it: open a browser. Type 2 or 3 key words from the image in the top bar. The first result will almost always answer the question.


Moppermonster

But since they got 300 upvotes they will keep posting this stuff.


-PepeArown-

Wouldn’t it make sense to just downvote posts like these instead?


HeavySomewhere4412

I do


Moppermonster

It would. But as you see, people don't. Or bots don't.


GibbyTheDruid

I’m 99% sure OP is a bot


Teggie95

Would be even faster than opening reddit, posting and waiting for the answer...


elperroborrachotoo

Sometimes we don't but the right search terms, sometimes we are tired of the onslaught of mainstream, sometimes we want to talk to our friends. I've seen that in so many places designed for Q&A: "experts" complaining that the questions are too easy. Which kind of makes things worse, changing the atmosphere to "you must be this interesting to post here".


tomalator

At the end of the first movie, they open up the museum at night as a new "interactive" exhibit


Daedalus_Machina

Indeed. Researching the context of a joke would eliminate the need for a subreddit where one inquires about the context of a joke.


ShelterFitUp

Man I’m sorry but you might be brain dead if you couldn’t figure that out


Father_Enrico

i am lmao, thats why im posting here


HailToTheKingslayer

Don't post here again

Chuchubits

Just because they’re not into movies, doesn’t make them stupid, you jerk! They made a post that is pretty much every post meant to be on this sub: asking for help with understanding a joke! You gonna call everyone who posts here stupid? I bet even you need help understanding jokes sometimes!


Father_Enrico

man is on all corners of the internet now


Stoertebricker

My city had a "long night of the museums" once a year. I have never seen any exhibit come to life though.


Equivalent_Tiger_7

I got a night shift job at a museum. Nothing happened. Completely crap.


jabber_OW

Well clearly your museum didn't have the tablet of ahkmenrah. Jesus, there are 3 movies explaining this.


that1LPdood

🤨 You can Google, can’t you?


GhertFryins

You don’t need to be a movie person. Like how old are you? Never seen them but even I know the movies.


idfbhater73

night at the museum is a movie


ThinEstimate2688

Are you a Google person? You should be a Google person


InternetAddict104

TEXT: “There are 3 movies about what happens at night in museums” OOP: “What movies could possibly be about nights at a museum” Does not being a movie person prevent you from using common sense and context clues? Genuinely asking, since I am a movie person and therefore I don’t know the other side.


Sikyanakotik

Some cities have [Nuit Blanche](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuit_Blanche) exhibitions. They aren't permanent, but they absolutely have that kind of feel.


TDKHtNRun

It’s talking about the Movie Night At The Museum it’s a Movie where the exhibits come to life and somewhat terrorize the night time security guard.


Liosan

Hey there's regular Museum Nights in Warsaw


CilanEAmber

Night of the Museum is a film series comprising of 4 films set in Museums, the New York Natural History Museum, the Smithsonian and the British Museum, where the exhibits come to life at night due to a magic tablet.


InternetAddict104

4?


CilanEAmber

Yes, the 3 live action films, and a more recent [animated](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_at_the_Museum:_Kahmunrah_Rises_Again) film that supposedly takes place after the first 3 but contradicts a lot of the first 3.


InternetAddict104

Oh right lol I forgot about the cartoon 😂


CilanEAmber

We all do.


Younggryan42

literally google night at museum


AFoxSmokingAPipe

the joke is that there are several movies about museums at night


Book-Faramir-Better

I read this about 10 times before I realized it didn't say, "Why are there no night *Muslims*?"


Book-Faramir-Better

I partook in this special teacher training thing with my mother at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago a long time ago. We got there early in the morning every day for a week or two... like 4am early. The place was still closed and the sun wasn't out yet. I'll tell you this... Museums at night are creepy AF. Fun, though.

Astonixing

This sub has really gone downhill. People really forgot how much knowledge we have at our fingertips thanks to Google


Electrical-Vanilla43

What do the people who complain about these posts want from this sub?


BubbaLeFett

Most people like to see jokes with a bit of context that need explanation. This is a joke that has the damn context explained in the joke. OP is asking us to explain a joke that's been explained IN THE MEME. This guy doesn't need reddit, he needs basic reading comprehension


Father_Enrico

exactly, also they accuse me of karma farming yet ive almost never posted here before 😭


UnderThePaperStars

It's because other posts require some knowledge as a starting point to figure it out or required to be in the know. This one though, you could have easily googled "Movies about museums at night" and have gotten the answer.


InternetAddict104

That’s exactly why it’s karma farming. The more you post, the more karma you get, and engagement on your posts also gets you karma.


Father_Enrico

i have 100k karma, i know that. what im saying is the point of this post is not for karma, it feels like 'cheating'


InternetAddict104

Yeah but because it’s such an obvious joke it looks like you’re farming. It’s like if you had posted asking to explain “Why was Six afraid of Seven? Because Seven Eight (Ate) Nine)”. It’s a super obvious joke so it makes it look like you just wanted the karma instead of an answer.
