GI JOE…
Give him the stick… DON’T GIVE HIM THE STICK
Hey do you know my dad?
OHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Fuck! We’re all dead! Get the fuck out!
God, it’s been too long. Some of those were absolutely brilliant!
Are there others?
So many others! This particular one was just memed especially hard.
We had image macro memes before the GI Joe PSAs. We just weren’t calling them “memes.” We called them “image macros.”
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
What about this is a meme exactly?
