I have rather belatedly gotten around to viewing the adult animated series, Archer, on Netflix. If you have not read up about the show, wikipedia has good coverage and there is an in-depth viz project -A data driven exploration of Archer - by Mara Averick and Elijah Meeks
The subtitles often shout-out for a meme and I have clipped several, initially from Series 1 Ep 6. One way of viewing them is in a carousel such of that of the recently developed package, htmlwidget slickR, from the Metrum research group
All we have to do is collect the relevant files and apply the slickR() function
I have 25 images in the carousel so it may take a time to process
library(slickR)
archerFiles <- list.files("img/archerMemes", full.names = TRUE, pattern = "*.JPG")
slickR(obj=archerFiles, width= 650)Just cycle through to view
Lots of them are standalone amusing, but the meme package from Guangchuang Yu makes it easy to add some upper text
library(meme)
u <- "img/archerMemes/arousesMe.JPG"
meme(u, upper="The thought of a tidyverse tutorial",color="blue", size=2)
There is a meme_save() function so that you can swiftly add the memed image to a tweet
You can expect my tweets to be sprinkled with these from now on
