About the Talking To Wall GIF Meme
A man stands facing a plain brick wall, both hands raised in an explaining gesture, mouth moving, body leaning slightly forward with the earnestness of someone who truly believes this time the wall will understand. The wall remains a wall. The GIF loops the explanation endlessly, reinforcing the complete pointlessness of the effort. The comedy is in the contrast between his conviction and the absolute indifference of the bricks.
An animated GIF of a man standing in front of a brick wall, gesturing and talking directly at it as if making an impassioned argument. The wall, being a wall, does not respond. The loop creates the effect of an endless futile explanation. The format works because the literal interpretation of "talking to a wall" is funnier than any metaphor. For another "nobody is listening" format, see Spongebob Mocking (being dismissed with mockery). For someone who refuses to accept your argument, see Change My Mind (at least that person engages).
