In Lebanon, your number one source for live memes will always be local Lebanese TV stations. You grew up with them and have a love-hate relationship with their content. Without further ado, here are 13 things you see exclusively on every Lebanese TV station.
1. Hearing “eh 3am nesm3ik Joelle” lal mara el million kel live news report
“Yabdou….enoo….n2atta3…..el…itisal….?”
2. Random locals in the background always trying to get their screen time
3. The classic political fights that suddenly got physical
4. “W hala2 ma3 el nashra el fanieh”
Yes, tell me about Elissa’s new dress after traumatizing you for an hour with local news
5. Mariam Nour
6. The weather reporter with the fashion problems
Darine Chahine’s “W hyda ken kil shi, bye” replaying in your head and the “Hay shu lebseh lyom?!” comments your parents unload.
7. Hearing the most uplifting Breaking News tunes before they drop the most horrible updates, ever
8. The sexist comedy shows
Scripts written by sexist men, what do we expect?
9. The reruns of an old Lebanese mosalsal for the tenth time
Please no more “Zawjati Ana”. Let’s stick to 3abdo w 3abdo
10. Watching morning workout shows while munching on your man2oushe
