Randy Poulis

Randy Poulis, of multiplatform classic art meme fame, has no qualms about being direct. His meme creations can make you laugh while punching you in the gut, and leaving you hungry for ice cream for some reason. He is down to earth. Relatable. Consistently unpredictable. The best type of mischievous skallywag. A riddle, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce.

Randy’s adventures in meme creation are rooted in an undergrad degree in Creative Writing followed by 20 years working as a journalist, much of that spent as an editor. He reached the end of that rope. He returned to university to study Theatre Design, welcoming all the debt that came with it.

All those years spent as an editor (sports, news, layout) naturally led to the creation of memes. Some describe this as unnatural. As it has always been, Randy’s satisfaction comes from the process of creating memes, followed by the end result. After posting a meme, he often finds in the comments others who have glimpsed the same inspiring moments which helped formulate the work (yeah, way too much sociology to go with that Theatre degree).

Randy also brings a large dose of skepticism to many of his memes and that directly reflects the winding road that brought him happily here.

Randy is also admin of the current Facebook group The Original Church of Sarcasm H20, formerly known as The Original Church of Sarcasm, which Facebook took a strong dislike to. At times, Facebook has taken a strong dislike for Randy as well.

When Randy isn’t running The Original Church of Sarcasm H20, he spreads his humor through the treacherous waters of Facebook. Taking chances with sarcasm like a professional gambler rolling the bones, he cranks out memes that may hit home (or not). And trigger the platforms community guidelines flags along the way. Regardless, his following looks forward to what creations they will see each day.
