| I've never been one to really see the humor in memes. In my eyes at least, memes are usually bad jokes that have been run into the ground. Nowadays, memes come in the form of weird catchphrases or pictures that only the "in-crowd" would usually understand. I think jokes that rely on prior knowledge all together to provide humor are weak in their attempt at best. I dunno, it might not be as simple as a source of "humor". Memes may in fact be a way for people to fit in, but that's only a guess on my part. Thoughts? Do you think memes are funny? Why? |

| Hell nah. You summed it up for me. I strongly dislike memes. Except for doge, but it has a huge advantage by being a cute dog. |
| i use to think memes were funny but then i took an arrow to the knee |
| The epitome of lame lowbrow humour. They are not funny, unless you've got the mind of a 12 year old. |
| No. They're the cancer of the internet. |

| Some are but the majority aren't. Mostly because of the people who use them and how overdone some of them can be. |

| I usually think of them as shock humor without the shock. Usually by the time something becomes big, what made it funny isn't funny anymore. That said stuff like Yatta!, Guiles Theme, and All Your Base Are Belong to Us, are pretty funny. But then again all of those aren't in the mainstream anymore. |
| Memes/running jokes aren't funny. Context is funny. |

| Memes are everywhere. Maybe 1% of them are funny. |

| I like how the majority of people who say they dislike memes seem to not actually know what a meme really is. |

| i am SO sick of them! like nobody has their own mind but i do see one once in a very great while that makes me laugh not a great track record |

Heredity said: Yea kinda like that. People only seem to associate meme with crap like doge or whatever nowadays when in actuality there's a lot more to it than overdone 4chan garbage.Korrvo said: are we talking about a thing that spreads throughout society/culture through exchanges by people - the general meaning of the word 'meme?'I like how the majority of people who say they dislike memes seem to not actually know what a meme really is. the word 'meme' was used excellently in metal gear rising. surprised to see a writer game enough to use the word as it would have had internet memes not existed. Though admittedly I do like a few of them. The "I am cum" chaika meme kills me every time. |

| It used to be now it's just repetitive. |
 |
| No, I got sick of them a while ago. Whenever someone shows me a meme image, I feel like I've already seen it before, despite what the captions say. |
| what is meme :doge: ? |
| Nope but they don't bother me in the slightest either. |

| I dislike most memes a few gifs are funny. Troll faces, and anything on the official meme date base are kind of annoying. I find a few amusing. Not funny though. I liked some of the early YouTube stuff. dance, dance, dance, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaA_cs4WZHM I suppose some of you have been online long enough to remember http://originalhampster.ytmnd.com/ the original hamster dance. |

| It depends on the meme and the amount you've been exposed to it. Some memes are somewhat funny for a couple of days... then they stop being funny. |
| Dark Souls memes are always welcome. Everything else sucks. |

| Only the 9GAG ones. |

| Memes are internet cancer- reposts of the same garbage, or minor altered content, and reposted by attention whores. It can be funny to look at occasionally, but its still shit. Its like greentext or wanna be oldfags. |
