The title text jokes that these memes are so annoying that it would give us further incentive to develop the technology to travel {{w|faster than light}}, just simply to be able to outrun the radio waves, reach a distant star system, and apologize in advance to the "residents" about the memes, before the memes arrive.

==Table with memes==
The table below lists all the memes described, and the star at which the comics states those memes should be heard by the time when the comic was released in 2013. The year of the meme plus the number of light years to the star should end up close to 2013.  
+
*The table below lists all the memes described, and the star at which the comics states those memes should be heard today (in 2013), based on the year when the meme in question became popular.
 
+
**The year of the meme plus number of years in the distance in light year to the star should end up close to 2013.
Most end up within the range 2011-2013 which may indicate the meme became popular one or two years later (on Earth or at the distant star system.) Two memes reach the targets in 2014. Some of those errors may be caused by the inaccuracy of the distances.
+
**As can be seen in the sum column most of the time this ends up within the range 2011-2013 with a few at 2014.
 
+
***There is only a single outlier, 2016, which could be an error from Randall?
The ''The Spanish Inquisition'' from Monty Python would have reached its destination in 2006. Because they're still watching ''Monty Python's Flying Circus'' in 2013 it must be very popular or maybe it took seven years to decipher that {{w|British humour}}.
+
***An error could both be in the distance to the star or in the year when the meme actually became popular here on Earth
 +
***There could also be a possible delay from the star system receiving the meme until is becomes popular there.
