a few off the top of my head from being alive and a fully-fledged adult in 2015:

  • Mad Max (2015)
  • Je Suis Charlie is Charlie Hebdo which was big in the news then because they did some anti-islamic shit and got shot over it
  • left shark and deflate gate in the bottom right (superbowl stuff)
  • Greece was going through some economic shit (my ex went to an ivy and she and some of her classmates made a lot of jokes about "we could just buy it" bc their endowment was larger than its gdp and bc they're ghouls in training)
  • BLM blew up pretty big following the extrajudicial murder of michael brown in 2014
  • last hunger games movie came out (that's katniss on the t-rex)
  • jurassic park reboots started in 2015
  • memerican aparral is referencing "the dress" that tore the internet apart bc people couldn't decide what colors it was (wiki)
  • netflix paid a ton of money for Friends (see the laptop in the bottom right) and that was a huge deal
  • free snow next to the guy in the celts jersey and sox hat is reference to boston's snowmageddon 2k15

  • cecil the lion
  • one direction broke up
  • oberfell v hodges decision for marriage equality
  • pizzagate
  • catelyn jenner coming out (or vanity fair cover at least)
  • to kill a mockingbird sequel
  • kermet and miss piggy divorce
  • royals won the world series
  • game of thrones at its peak, jon snow stabbed to death (spoiler: he got better)
  • starbucks holiday cup controversy (they just made them red, christofascits treatlers got mad)
  • star wars sequel trilogy started
  • google created parent company "alphabet" for antitrust reasons

Don't forget kojima's "Hideo Kojima Game" MGS5 came out (hence snake chilling on the right side)

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

In front you have Letterman handing the Late Show over to Colbert

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

Also the cooling tower with an Iranian flag is a reference to the Iran nuclear deal.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

I love that dress because almost every time somebody reposts it with a caption like "can you believe we used to argue about what color this was? Times have changed lol" people start arguing over the color

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

[–] dead@hexbear.net 20 points 3 weeks ago

David Cameron had sex with a pig.

Yeah, he was honestly a pretty good actor. Loved him on iasip. Also they live had a long fight scene because he and the other guy insisted on it lol

Why is the one woman who's flashing her breasts censored and the other, who is right next to her, not?

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh fuck there are boobs. monke-beepboop

Chat, is this NSFW?

[–] crime@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

i think that's what the cartoon is asking (or critiquing)

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

uh, best guess, the whole "female presenting nipple" debacle at Tumblr?

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Either free the nipple or internet censorship of nipples discussion

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's mostly movie and sports references.

[–] frosty99c@midwest.social 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

And the "RIP Grantland" makes me think this is Bill Simmons related, maybe even published by Grantland itself (American sports/pop culture website started by Simmons when he worked for ESPN).

Edit: I've just seen the credit at the bottom of the poster. Guess it's not related, just made by a fan I guess.

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

"We didn't start the fire," in picture form.

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

middle right, I vaguely recall something about a dentist anesthetizing a lion to death in front of a live internet audience? Mostly this looks like a compilation of memes and movies from 2014, jarringly presented alongside some of the things that would actually go in a history book about the time.

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

noo wasnt there a dentist that went to safari in south africa and shot a lion, cecil was his name?

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

oh yeah that's what it was

Anyway, I'm gonna remember it as my version :garf-troll:

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Let's see:
entrance is the heaven meme, showing celebs who died that year. To the left Letterman is handing the keys to his show over to Colbert. Above that there's some babies with guns that has something to do with Gawker? [Edit: found this article about it]. David Cameron is doing his thing with a pig and above him the supreme court did something good for the gays alongside Narcos and some other TV shows. Close to that Reddit is hitting a panic button, which I don't know what is about but maybe that celebrity nude leak?

In the middle there's water because: Aquarium broke, interstellar, water on mars and I think refugees.

  • Free the nipple the nipple is next to that dress that broke my brain until a month ago
  • Birdman won an oscar (it's a good movie go watch it)
  • Charlie Hebdo got what it deserves, sadly the rest of Paris got hit with collateral
  • Left shark.
  • Ronda rousey was still beloved
  • netflix and chill entered the vocabulary.
  • Dentist shot a lion
  • Iran got nuclear power or something
  • Star wars is back
  • Minions.
  • Deflategate and tom Brady.
  • One Direction split up.
  • GoT was still a thing.
  • Adele had that hit.
  • mad max fury road became one of my favourite movies.
  • FIFA corruption scandal with Sepp Bladder i think his name is.
  • Pizza rat.
  • The US learned about the austerity measures that hit Greece in 2008?

Adding this to the post title is basically turning the drawing into a Where's Waldo.
