A 'meme' is a virally-transmitted cultural symbol or social idea.

The majority of modern memes are captioned photos that are intended to be funny, often as a way to publicly ridicule human behavior. Other memes can be videos and verbal expressions. Some memes have heavier and more philosophical content.

The world of memes (which rhymes with 'teams') is noteworthy for two reasons: it is a worldwide social phenomenon, and memes behave like a mass of infectious flu and cold viruses, traveling from person to person quickly through social media.

According to Cecil Adams of theStraightDope.com, the concept of memes "is either really deep, or really, really obvious".

Meme Examples

Most modern internet memes have some element of humor:

Some internet memes are also about shock-value and drama:

Other memes are urban myths that tout some kind of life lesson:

A few internet memes are about deeper philosophical content and social commentary:

In some cases, a meme achieves notoriety as a conversational expression:

The majority of internet memes are transmitted by 20-something millennials. This is because that age group is hyperconnected and enamored with social media.

The average age of meme users is increasing, though, as Generation X and Baby Boomer users discover the entertainment fun of spreading memes to their spreads.

The "meme" word was first introduced by evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins, in 1976. "Meme" comes from the Greek word "mimema" (meaning "something imitated", American Heritage Dictionary).

Dawkins described memes as a being a form of cultural propagation, a way for people to transmit social memories and cultural ideas to each other. Not unlike the way that DNA and life will spread from location to location, a meme idea will also travel from mind to mind.

The Internet, by sheer virtue of its instant communication, is how we now spread modern memes to each other's inboxes. A link to a YouTube video of Rick Astley, a file attachment with a Stars Wars Kid movie, an email signature with a Chuck Norris quote... these are a few examples of modern meme symbols and culture spreading through online media.

The bulk of internet memes will continue to be humor and shock-value curiosities, as these grab people's attention more quickly than deeper meme content. But as users become more sophisticated in their thinking, expect memes to become progressively more intellectual and philosophical.

Other Examples of Modern Internet Memes:

Note: some of the following content is juvenile, and more targeted at adolescents. Some of these following memes are much more adult and are intended for more mature audiences.

50 Internet Memes that Have Won Our Hearts

Viral Humor, Bizarre Curiousities, and Infectious Storytelling

Social Media

by Paul Gil

Updated October 19, 2016

Memes are cultural symbols and social ideas that spread virally, primarily with the intent to either make people laugh or to make fun of others.

The meme content itself is usually something of minor everyday consequence: jokes, urban legends, TV and movie references, human and animal oddities. In rare cases, memes can be profound art and music curiosities, and even philosophical ideas.

The noteworthy aspect of a meme is its infectious nature: it invites people to spread it through social media, email, and photo-sharing.

Here are the most popular modern internet memes today.

1
Be Like Bill

Be Like Bill: a passive-aggressive meme that comments on people's life choices.

This 2015-2016 meme is a raging virus: it has propagated faster than any other internet meme.

Bill is a stick person illustration, with white space left for captioning. The version pictured here is the Bill with the hat/toque headdress. You will also see versions of stick person Bill sitting at a computer.

The irresistible appeal of Bill is that it is a powerful passive-aggressive way to make public judgments of other people's life choices. If you want to comment against something you disagree with, the innocuous Bill stick figure is an excellent vehicle to transmit your message.

In the same way that Kermit and his teacup have become a tool for highlighting and criticizing others, Bill is a wildfire hit with anyone who wants to feel morally superior to others.

You can create your own Bill meme narrative here, here and here.

2
'But That's None of My Business'

While the imagery seems innocent enough, this recent meme is used to openly pass sarcastic judgement on someone, much like Be Like Bill. When you think someone is an idiot for some life decision he or she has made, you can post a photo of Kermit drinking tea, along with the phrase 'but that's none of my business'. The memorable muppet image will help the message gnaw on the person's brain for a while, and remind them that they've been judged.

Create your own Kermit teacup meme here.

3
Kylo Ren's Tri-Lightsaber

When the trailer of the new Star Wars Episode 7 movie was released, fans went into a frenzy over the tri-lightsaber of the character Kylo Ren. Apparently, the functionality of such a mythical weapon was debatable. This spurred a viral form of playful vandalism, where readers around the world would photoshop different implements onto Ren's lightsaber, like this example of a swiss army knife in this photo.

4
Grumpy Cat

Tardar Sauce of Arizona — Grumpy Cat: "Tardar Sauce" of Arizona.

Grumpy Cat is a housepet from Arizona. Her real name is 'Tardar Sauce', and she has a disorder called 'feline dwarfism'. With a distinctive underbite that gives her a pouting facial expression, this little beast has become the poster child of sarcasm and faux negativity. Thousands of captioned meme photos have been based on Tardar's seemingly-sad face. In actuality, Tardar is a very happy and friendly cat, which makes the sarcasm memes even richer!

5
Ylvis: What Does the Fox Say?

Bard Ylvisaker and Vegard Ylvisaker of Ylvis perform on NBC's TODAY Show. — Cindy Ord/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Norwegian comedy and music duo, Ylvis, asks the question "what sound do foxes make?" Sure enough, they not only provide the answer, but they present it via a preposterous dance video that has gone viral in recent weeks. Let's see if this new musical meme could be the new 'Gangnam Style' music video! The video is at 12 million viewings as of this writing...

See The Fox music video here...

The New Old Spice Guy

These preposterous commercials are exactly that: preposterous. Yet these commercials have a real charm that makes women grin and men guffaw. Take a look at the number of hits that these Old Spice commercials get on YouTube... that should give you a sense of how viral these commercials are.

7
Rickroll Someone

This prankster meme refuses to die! 'Rickrolling' is when people pretend to send critical business email links in emails, but they actually send links to Rick Astley music videos from the 1980's.

8
More Cowbell

Christopher Walken immortalized the expression 'more cowbell' on Saturday Night Live. Today, 'more cowbell' is a daily expression of humor. This particular meme won't reach you by email forwards, but you can certainly expect the expression 'more cowbell' to occur in daily conversation with the modern generation.

9
U Mad Bro

'U mad bro' is arguably a trifecta meme, because it is simultaneously a meme, a conversational expression, and a form of trolling/flaming all at once. This meme expression allegedly started in 2003 when hiphop musician Cam'Ron engaged in a heated discussion with talk show host Bill O'Reilly over how his music affected children. Over the last decade, 'u mad bro' has grown into a daily conversation term for the millennial generation, and spawned several versions of itself as 'he mad', 'she mad', 'why you mad tho', and more.

10
Randall, the Honey Badger Animal Narrator

Randall is an effeminate narrator who creates voice-overs for animal videos. He is renowned for coining the expression 'honey badger don't care', which is quickly becoming a conversational phrase of courage.

Randall's narrating is flamboyant, irreverent, profane, sassy and preposterous all at once. His internet fame started with his narration of a badger video, where the little beast would hunt and eat its prey on screen. Oddly, Randall's narration is quite engaging, so don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting more Randall videos after honey badger.

See the honey badger video here

11
Doge! Much Wow, Such Fun...

Since 2005, 'doge' has been a subculture meme thanks to the Homestar Runner puppet show. In this episode, the Homestar character nicknames his cohort, Strong Bad, as "d-o-g-e".

Today, doge is a photograph memecommonly attached to photos of Shiba Inu dogs, combined with comic sans font and the use of bad grammar with comedic monologue text. Doge has also become the name for a new type of digital currency called 'Dogecoins'.

'Doge' has two common pronunciations: as a rhyme with 'rogue', or pronounced as 'dohj'.

12
Gas Pump Karaoke Prank

This smile-inducing prank has become a viral hit. The prankster is a faux newscaster on a gas pump TV. He starts a conversation with Will and Monifa Sims, two California customers filling up their minivan. The conversation turns into an impromptu singing performance, with Will and Monifa performing songs from the 1980's. This is a terrific example of human talent and infectious spirit, and if you're like most viewers, you will cheer and clap during this delightful video.

See the gas pump karaoke prank here...

13
Leekspin: the Loituma Girl

This Finnish folk song has been mesmerizing online users for years. The animation is taken from the Japanese anime "Bleach", and the music is the "leval Polkka", performed by a quartet called Loituma. Yes, the girl is twirling a vegetable. Yes, it's dumb, but also oddly catchy. Here is the hypnotizing Leekspin.com website. If you like the music, here are the Loituma folk singers performing the original.

14
"Where the Hell Is Matt Harding?": Dancing Around the World

Matt Harding is another example of why I love the Internet. You see, Matt is a deadbeat and a slacker who has been blessed with the chance of a lifetime. In exchange for doing some amateur dancing on-camera, Matt was hired to travel the world and visit 39 countries on 7 continents. Matt's travel adventures have surpassed what you and I could ever hope to achieve in a lifetime. Here is his first video, and here is his second video.

15
All Your Base Are Belong to Us

'All Your Base' is an 'Engrish' humor meme... it comes from the flawed translation of Japanese into English subtitles. Instead of 'all your bases belong to us', this mistaken translation caught fire in 2001. The original video footage is from Zero Wing, a 1989 video game by Toaplan. Today, All Your Base is a joke phrase used in pop culture.

16
Good Guy Greg

'Good Guy Greg' (also known as GGG) is the endearing photo of a marijuana-smoking fellow with a likeable grin. His viral photo has been repeatedly captioned to be an example of acts of kindness and respectful public behaviour. Good Guy Greg is quite a pleasant meme, actually, as it promotes the opposite of trolling and negativity on the Web.

17
Domo-Kun

A strange creature mascot for Japan's NHK television station, Domo-Kun is the humorous icon that is pasted into many disaster scenes. Don't be surprised if you see this pop-culture icon on websites.

18
The Spinning Ballerina Illusion

This mesmerizing optical illusion was created by graphic designer Nobuyuki Kayahara. It has fascinated readers across the globe since 2007. Is this dancer standing on her left foot and spinning clockwise? Or is she standing on her right foot and spinning the other way? Take a look for yourself, and watch how the ballerina can change direction before your very eyes.

Tip: focus on the standing foot, and you can almost will the direction change to happen.

19
Gangnam Style, by Rapper Psy

Rapper Psy: Gangnam Style. YouTube screenshot

The most-liked video in YouTube history, this pop song was released by South Korean rapper, Psy, in July of 2012. In this video, Psy inspires a funny dance style involving an invisible horse and clumsy dance moves. The 'Gangnam Style' itself is a parody of people's perceptions of the upscale Gangnam District in the city of Seoul, where the residents are known to be wealthy and trendy. See the video for yourself, and see why it has won the MTV Video of the Year.

FYI: here are the English lyrics to the Gangnam Style song.

20
LOLcats

21
Ermahgerd

'Ermahgerd' is 'oh my god' as pronounced by someone with a speech impediment. It means 'shock' and 'stupidity' at the same time, often as a caption for unflattering photos. You can caption 'ermahgerd' on your own photos to describe that you did something stupid today, or you can use it to insult someone else by replying 'ermagherd' to their online posts.

Ermahgerd is also becoming popular as a caption for animal photos, much like lolcats. For the most part, ermagherd is a derogatory term like 'doh' or 'durp'.

22
The Double Rainbow

You'd swear the cameraman was on some kind of acid trip when he shot this video. But Paul Vasquez claims that he was having a spiritual experience at the sight of this Yosemite Park rainbow. People have since flocked to his YouTube page to leave comments. Take a look for yourself, and decide if this home video is all just an act, or a sincere life experience.

23
Epic Fail!

This photo and video blog is mesmerizing! Here are pictoral essays on the tragic mistakes of people around the world. Bad drivers, stunts gone bad, public faux pas embarassments... this website is absolutely hypnotic in the way it depicts human folly. The idea of "schadenfreude" (delighting in other people's misfortune) has never been so humorously done. Be warned: once you visit this site, you will be addicted to checking it every week for new additions...

24
Bad Romance, by Lady Gaga

This catchy song by artist Lady Gaga is paired with some surreal costumes, and some mesmerizing dance moves. Whether you like Lady Gaga's music or not, you'll want to watch this video and decide for yourself what you think.

25
Mr. Rogers Remixed: Garden of Your Mind

Fred Rogers was an educational influence for millions of youth before he passed away in 2003. His PBS show inspired scientific curiosity, multiculturalism, a compassion for fellow human beings and animals, and a real hope for the future. The Public Broadcasting System recently remixed a montage of Mr. Rogers' work in this hypnotizing video. Unlike other memes, this video is thoughtful and non-flashy, but if you followed Mr. Rogers as a youth, you are bound to find this new video to be resonant and moving.

See the Mr. Rogers remix video here

Rebecca eventually re-uploaded it, and you can decide for yourself if she should have.

An Intro Internet Memes for Those Wondering Why They Exist

Social Media

by Elise Moreau

Updated July 31, 2016

Internet memes are everywhere on the web these days and they’ve only grown stronger over the past decades or so since social media has grown to become such a mainstream phenomenon. But have you ever wondered where internet memes even come from?

For anyone who might be new to social media, image sharing and overall Internet culture, Internet memes can be confusing and even downright ridiculous to try and understand.

While it's often just best to enjoy them for what they are and the humorous messages behind them without trying to analyze how in the world they became so popular, it's still worth understanding the basic nature of memes.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what an Internet meme really is, where they come from, and where you can find them.

What Is an Internet Meme?

An Internet meme can be almost any idea or concept expressed in some form of content on the web, which is why it can be so completely difficult to drill down to a real definition. It can be a photo, a video, a person, an animal, a fictional character, an event, a song, a belief, an action, a GIF, a symbol, a word or anything else.

When one of these things is broad enough to be considered extremely relatable between most people and has a humorous effect to it (like sarcasm or exaggeration), it often gets shared all over the Internet. Mass sharing gives it its internet meme status.

Advice Animals are a common meme theme, which are images of animals that express reactions via short text captions. The weird horse dance performed in Psy’s Gangnam Style music video that went viral back in 2012 is even considered an Internet meme.

When something appeals to a very large number of people and spreads very fast across the internet —sometimes even being altered through additional photos, videos, phrases or whatever — it’s usually safe to say that that thing or idea is indeed an internet meme.

To put it in the simplest of words, you can consider an Internet Meme to just be something that goes insanely viral.

Check out some of these notable examples of internet memes:

Where Do Internet Memes Come From?

Every Internet meme has its own unique story. The best ones literally burst out of nowhere, only to mysteriously show up and take over your Twitter feed, Facebook feed, Tumblr Dashboard or any other social networking site you may be using within days of initial recognition by its first hundred of thousands of sharers.

There’s one particular website, however, that is highly recommended to check out if you’re interested in finding out the origin and history behind a particular meme. Part of the Cheezburger Network, Know Your Meme specializes in tracking down Internet memes and the entire viral stories behind them — sometimes right down to the creator, artist or photographer of a meme.

You can use the search bar on Know Your Meme to search for any particular meme of your choice. A complete page of information, related memes, viral spread and even a timeline for search interest will be displayed.

For example, here’s Know Your Meme’s page for the Gangnam Style meme. It’s a pretty lengthy page, but it does a very good job at telling the entire story behind its virality.

Since new memes pop up every day out of nowhere, you may notice that not every meme’s page on the site is fully complete. In fact, it may not even by on the site yet.

Where Can I Find Internet Memes?

If you want to know which memes are starting to trend as soon as they do, you better be active on social media. You’re not going to find them by checking your email or reading your local news website.

Being on Facebook and Twitter is a good start, but they can be a little slow at exposing the newest Internet memes. Instead, you're probably better off with going where many of the best memes are born:

4chan: There’s been a lot of criticism that the users of 4chan are rather unpleasant to interact with, but if you want internet memes, this image-based community is where many of them are created.

Reddit: Like 4chan, Reddit is another social network that represents the birthplace of many memes. Perhaps unlike 4chan, the Reddit community is very pleasant to interact with and helpful when necessary. A pretty big chunk of internet users prefer visiting Reddit rather than 4chan.

Tumblr: A lot of stuff that first shows up on 4chan and Reddit eventually make their way to Tumblr — a blogging platform that tends to be heavy on imagery and GIFs. It’s the perfect environment for memes, and even though most memes may be seen on Reddit first, they tend take over Tumblr almost immediately after they’re discovered.

As an added bonus, you may also want to start taking YouTube more seriously by subscribing to popular channels — especially those that cover newsworthy topics related to internet entertainment. Here are a few channel suggestions to check out.
