Galaxy Note Jokes Set Social Media on Fire

As an Apple enthusiast, I'm disappointed by the disaster surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. It takes all the fun out of arguing with Android fanboys.

ANDROID FANBOY: "Only SHEEPLE buy iPhones! Yadda yadda open yadda yadda choice."

ME: "Oh, yeah? I can use my iPhone on a plane."

ANDROID FANBOY: *silence*

ME: "Also, my iPhone doesn't explode. How about the Galaxy Note 7?"

ANDROID FANBOY: *crickets*

No fun at all in that argument.

But here's something that is fun: Social media has been buzzing with jokes and memes about the phone fiasco. A few of our favorites:

Next page: They're ahead of the market!

Next page: Bedside charging station

Next page: How to put it in Airplane Mode

Next page: Perfect metaphor

Next page: I'd like to return my Galaxy Note 7

Next page: In Hotspot Mode

Next page: Live From the Galaxy Note 7 factory

Next page: Leaked replacement photo

Also: Samsung testing the revised Note 7.

My colleague Paul Rainford pens a haiku about the fiasco: Selling the Sizzle.

And my colleague Dan Jones has serious analysis: Samsung's NoteGate: Winners & Losers.

About the Author(s)

Mitch Wagner

Executive Editor, Light Reading

San Diego-based Mitch Wagner is many things. As well as being "our guy" on the West Coast (of the US, not Scotland, or anywhere else with indifferent meteorological conditions), he's a husband (to his wife), dissatisfied Democrat, American (so he could be President some day), nonobservant Jew, and science fiction fan. Not necessarily in that order.

He's also one half of a special duo, along with Minnie, who is the co-habitor of the West Coast Bureau and Light Reading's primary chewer of sticks, though she is not the only one on the team who regularly munches on bark.

Wagner, whose previous positions include Editor-in-Chief at Internet Evolution and Executive Editor at InformationWeek, will be responsible for tracking and reporting on developments in Silicon Valley and other US West Coast hotspots of communications technology innovation.

Beats: Software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), IP networking, and colored foods (such as 'green rice').
