The ironic resurgence of Harambe is due for a comeback

I think we actually are getting close to having it [Harambe] be funny again. The resurgence. Because it was very funny for that summer. Then it was like very lame. But now enough time has passed where if you just drop a Harambe, it's like, oh, that's actually kind of funny. The ironic resurgence of Harambe is due.

Opinion Pop Culture Mild

The Harambe meme has indeed persisted in an ironic capacity within the PMT universe and internet culture at large.

RIP Harambe

Our sweet prince. From the moment a 17-year-old gorilla was shot at the Cincinnati Zoo on May 28, 2016, Harambe became the unofficial mascot of Pardon My Take. The boys rode the Harambe wave with tie-dye t-shirts, conspiracy theories, existential debates about life in Cincinnati, and the eternal question: could a gorilla play fullback?

Without Harambe getting shot, Pardon My Take might not exist

Without that fucking gorilla getting shot, I don't know if I'd be sitting next to you right now, Big Cat. One of the seminal moments of Pardon My Take — getting sued by ESPN, Adam Morrison's bunker, and then the summer of Harambe.

The Lakers will win their series against the Suns

The Lakers are up 2-1. They're going to win this series. The Suns, I feel bad for them. I don't know how the Lakers don't come out of the West.

Prediction Basketball Medium

The Suns came back to win the series 4-2, eventually reaching the NBA Finals while the Lakers were eliminated.

Jimmy Butler is not a top 15 player in the NBA

I've long said that Jimmy Butler is not a top 15 player in the NBA. He doesn't look at all like he did last year. I don't know what the difference is.

Opinion Basketball Hot Subjective

While subjective, Butler's inclusion in All-NBA teams and playoff runs (Finals 2023) makes this a highly debated and likely 'incorrect' take in the eyes of most analysts.
