I don’t even pay $30 for a haircut…
Barber schools always need people to practice on. $8 + tip.
My haircut is like PROD. Not gonna put an intern on it. :P

Apparently the title is a meme taking from DragonBall Z https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dont-you-lecture-me-with-your...

Lucky. Mine started at $15 + tip and slowly creeped up to $20 until New Years 2020 when every decent barber seemingly unionized and went to $40/cut.

#23I got the context. But can someone explain how this is funny?
It’s basically a giant inside joke. Explaining it won’t do any good, not helped by the fact that in a lot of cases with ironic and absurdist humor, it’s not really funny on its own premise.
The meme basically took the phrase “Don’t lecture me with your thirty dollar haircut” and stuck it next to a bunch of emoji. For some reason, this transformed into videos where the emoji was interpreted as memetic audio clips. In some cases, I’ll admit the joke just boils down to “loud stupid noise funny.” But the reason why people find it funny, is literally because they know it’s not. You’ll even see them saying things like, “I know this isn’t funny, but I can’t stop laughing.” If anyone understands enough psychology to explain WTF is going on here, I’d love to know.
On the other hand, the meme, which is admittedly not really funny on its own, spiraled into a fairly neat website where you can actually sequence music, sort of like Mario Paint. I think that’s it’s neat regardless of what you think of the humor that lead to it.

always had a feeling balding and not having the hormones to grow beard had its benefits

#27This website is inane, juvenile and has no real use. And for all those reasons I love it. Kudos to HN for being a place where I can find things that just bring some silly fun to my life.
I remember in the early days of the Interwebs, there was so many sites just like this one. You didn't have to go to FB, IG or some other content mill to find them. Plus, when you did find one, it had the same feeling of excitement as finding a $5 bill on the sidewalk.
Here's some other great sites. * http://eelslap.com/ * https://theuselessweb.com/

The original line, the meme after that, or this website?
The line is silly and strongly acted, I think it's easy to see why it's funny.
Then sharing it around and tossing some emojis and sound effects on isn't a huge improvement but whatever it's entertaining to throw some images and sounds onto things.
And it should be easy to see why this website is popular just as a music tool, with the line not very important and largely there to put things in a silly mood. Some people will find it funny and some won't, but there doesn't need to be anything funny about the website for it to be fun.

Until last month, I hadn't gotten a paid haircut since the start of the pandemic. Got a decent pair of clippers with a taper guard, and did "okay" except for the edging on the back, which I learned to just not worry about (though my wife has done it a couple of times, and it comes out decent then)
