Puntastic II : Playing Meme During Sahur Time

It has been common for Twitter users every year to do word plays during sahur time (sahur = preliminary dinner before daily fasting during Ramadhan month). This year is not so much different than last year. People do word plays with certain theme and followed by common hashtag.

Among those hashtags, JKT48 fans also created their own word plays. It has began 4 days ago (July 12^th), with the hashtag #JKT48Movie. Fans created their own version of movie title and story, mimicking the original ones. It was a fun word play. Here are few examples.

Three days ago (July 13^th), the theme switch to #JKT48Brand where fans created meme about JKT48 members based on popular brand logo or identity. Check the compilations on this Pinterest board.

The next day (July 14^th) the theme became #BukanJKT48. It’s a word play, again with pictures, combining musical group band (local and international) with the name of JKT48 members. Check the compilation board here.  Let’s see if you can manage to guess the original band or album title.

Yesterday (July 15^th) the chosen theme is #NempelJKT48. This is derived from the cheesy stickers that usually can be seen in Indonesia’s local public transportation. Sometimes it’s a classic one, with the contrast and limited color. The compilation can be checked here.

I’ll give you few translations to the stickers.

“Handsome but not noticed by member.”

“Has pretty face, but yet not a senbatsu.”

Well. It’s quite hard to translate them to funny words in English, since the phrase said on the stickers are based on local humor fandom.

And this morning (July 16^th) the topic is about cheesy banner or poster that usually appeared in prior to local government’s elections. These kinds of banner or poster usually have the photo of the so-called-legislative nominee, with chest call to action. Usually it was also designed badly. The hashtag is #CalegJKT48 and you can see the compilation on this board.

Every day there will be different theme and creations. So be sure to check out your JKT48 fans timeline. I don’t know if it will last until the end of Ramadhan. At least for now, let’s just enjoy the fans’ creation and start laughing with them.
