Density
If only I had asked 4chan for ideas for what I should do to prevent this!
Title text: If only I had asked 4chan for ideas for what I should do to prevent this!

Explanation

First up, we have a sex scene. Megan doesn't want to get pregnant. Unfortunately for both of them, Cueball ends up ejaculating prematurely before "pulling out".

Rather than apologize or try and salvage the relationship, Cueball responds in perhaps the most absurd possible way and invokes five then-popular internet memes in one sentence meaning I know you don't want to get pregnant but I accidentally ejaculated inside you. Cueball's life is now thoroughly "ruined", as this incident would likely put a damper on his relationship with Megan - or lead to impending fatherhood - but at least he now has a superficial and respect-less world record.

The title text references 4chan, a site known for its memes, trolls and other assorted internet clutter, and sarcastically implies that any advice they might give would in any way be at all helpful. Due to its population of trolls and other unhelpful sorts, advice given by 4chan would normally be useless at best and actively detrimental at worst; however, the title text implies that not only did Cueball rely on 4chan for advice, their advice is why he got into this situation in the first place.

Transcript

Discussion

I'm crying -- Lemphek (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

In ur base seems like all your bases are belongs to us... 141.101.107.120 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I second the above. 'All your base are belong to us' is an old 2nd gen gaming console meme. 172.68.2.76 17:01, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't think Megan will ever sleep with him again after this, and if I were Cueball, I'd consider this a greater loss than having to raise a babby. 84.224.87.179 07:56, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Title text

I think the title text implies that while Cueball relies on 4chan for advice, he hadn't asked them on contraception and he now regrets this omission thinking that it would help him to prevent this situation. This is even funnier since it implies that advices from 4chan are in fact valuable. STEN (talk) 22:26, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Relevant links: Withdrawal method (or Coitus interruptus) and Emergency contraception. Surprisingly, the withdrawal method may be quite effective with a failure rate as low as 4% (chance of pregnancy per year of use) if done correctly. In practice, though, it has a 15-28% failure rate. In comparison, condom use has a 2% failure rate when used correctly and a 10–18% actual failure rate. -- 108.162.212.217 10:06, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

This is completely irrelevant. My point is that if he was regretting asking 4chan, the title text would start If only I had not asked but it starts If only I had asked implying he did not ask. -- Sten (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Agreed have corrected explain. --Kynde (talk) 13:47, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

I think the "ruined life" part refers more to having an unplanned and unprepared-for baby, a more disruptive consequence than a break his relationship with Megan.. 108.162.208.236 11:07, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Agreed have corrected explain. --Kynde (talk) 13:47, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

This is not the meme density record any more.162.158.49.6 15:37, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Isn't there a reference to 'all your base are belong to us' in there too? 162.158.111.91 09:09, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

In ur base references the 'I'm in ur base, killing all ur dude's' meme. 172.68.65.126 03:58, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Agreed, the "in" makes that pretty clear. I've edited to match. I'm fine with the Zero Wing explanation as an alternative, but I'm leaving it out unless someone thinks it's more likely. -- Zzyzx (talk)
