@@mrtoad3582 there can be layers upon layers of context and references in a single meme. When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they are talking about memes.
@@mrtoad3582 idk its gone through a lot of steps, and kinda evolved for better or worse. And you can tell where the meme comes from just from seeing it. And if its ironic or not. Its also just fun to think. In our universe where everything has to be perfect in order for the world to keep going. If one planet it out of line were all screwed. Yet memes still found a way to exist in reality
Actually, the first meme yet to be found was published by The Wisconsin Octopus magazine back in the 1919-1920. Also, the reason why the term “genetically” was mentioned in the definition is because , and as argued by Richard Dawkins (1976) in his book the Selfish Gene, memes and genes are similar in the ability to replicate, but different in other aspects. One last thing, Dawkins was the first one to create and use the term MEME.
I like memes Also can I use this comment not to self-promote but to warn about the EU Copyright Directive that is going to be voted on by the EU Parliament tomorrow. This directive is a massive threat to memes and other fair use content, as it will force most websites to install automated copyright filters that may block any detected copyrighted content regardless of context. Please help spread the word and more importantly, contact your local MEPs to reject the Copyright Directive, especially Article 13. Thanks for the PSA now back to memes.
theres literally no path when a meme dies. i like to picture it as a meme roaming the dark void known as television discovery, where the meme just bounces around helplessly through all the tv networks hoping to be remade as a 4chan recycled meme.
When I was in primary school(elementary school for you americans), I heard of this thing called your mama jokes and I wanted to try one out. So I got to school the next day, went up to one of my friends and said "your mom is fat" and then just didnt say the punchline. I didnt know we needed one so i just randomly told my friend that his mom was fat. I got lectured by the principal
Well, taking off means becoming popular, becoming popular means oversaturation and oversaturation leads to loss of the joke and its death. By definition a meme dies when it takes off
Look again. It was a montage. Some people talk faster than the slides. I think it's a small mind that picks on people's creative content because they do not have the ability or means to do it themselves. That is only if they are straight up. Otherwise, why even watch something if you not into what it is talking about? Haters are really ignorant! I am too by taking the time to type this out. I should have just gone on with my life and let the dead bury the dead.
I mean it's just the facts 4chan is just like shit I don't want to touch with a ten foot pole so I wait to see them on /r/me_irl then undoublty see the same meme in a group chat a week later as an instagram screenshot or with an ifunny water mark.
Wow, people still believe memes originate from 4chan. Please don't be fooled by that myth lads, I went there and found nothing but weird kinky stuff and videos of people dying
@@justgrey3114 dank memes still exist, they're just not referred to as "dank memes" anymore (And the very people who are creating them on 4chan are also reposting then on reddit before some soylent abuser steals their free internet points)
imo memes were originally used for a quick laugh/quick understanding between communities, generally where only people in said community would understand- so with that in mind, memes themselves have died since they're so oversaturated now. e.g. memes making fun of normies is ironic
Imo the cycle has changed a bit, 4 chan has lost itself. So Reddit is the birth now. Nears death when held by Instagram and Snapchat. Dies during the process. 9gag and ifunny literally use the dead body of it. The body is ready for cremation when Facebook just rapes it
I think a commonality that almost all really funny comedians have is that you all are actually very intelligent. You created an 8 minute video talking the history of one of the most iconic things on the internet, and you did it in a funny way which is very hard to do. I'm just saying that I respect you and your craft, if you ever want to try out a new animation style feel free to contact me :) Although my animations are very different from yours. Keep it up mate
I thought PETA was reviled on... Oh wait that's right 4chan died years ago. The rotting corpse is infested with dead memes masquerading as "woke netizens".
Yeah they died when people didn't understand that the faces ment something and just made shitty comics with rang faces. I miss Y U NO... he didn't have the staying power like the others.
The fact that you can Google any piece of information you desire on the internet isn't the best thing but people making shitty meme pages begging for likes is the best thing? Priorities my guy
The reason why internet memes die after becoming too popular are because they're created as inside jokes, and it's no longer funny once everyone's inside on the joke.
He really missed a pristine opportunity to end with "where do they come from, and where do they go, where do they come from cotton eyed Joe" Edit: Holy shit guys thanks for all the likes I've never posted a comment to get so many likes
At this point memes are a literally integral part of my life, seeing as ever since I’ve been around I have used them on a daily basis. Memes are arguably a better representation of gen Z culture than anything else. Music and art are becoming memes, shows and games are becoming memes. It’s so unique, because gen Z is the first generation to grow up in the meme era. It’s amazing.
Woah woah woah.. You forgot the "I can haz Cheezburger" Cats. They were a huuuge influence on memes. Those predated the Advice animals by years. They were one of the biggest original memes back in the day when flash video and chain emails were dying off. And you forgot Demotivational Posters too. That were memeing the stupid inspiration posters we had up in our schools in the early 2000s.

MEME REVIEW
imo memes were originally used for a quick laugh/quick understanding between communities, generally where only people in said community would understand- so with that in mind, memes themselves have died since they're so oversaturated now.
e.g. memes making fun of normies is ironic
You have an anime profile picture, so your opinion doesn't matter.
Comedian: *well crafted joke*
Me: "hm"
*Picture of lord faarquad with the letter E*
Me: CTFU 😂😂😂😂🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😂😤
Commentary on faarquad with the letter E being a meme is a meme. The old Millhouse is not a meme 4th dimension break.
@Lucas Samus *E*
Ctfu?
my teacher basically had a whole class where she compared memes to postmodern art
But memes are better because they're intentionally shit for the sake of being funny rather than just being plain old shit.
In the life cycle, you forgot to mention that the meme is specifically killed by iFunny
Imo the cycle has changed a bit, 4 chan has lost itself. So Reddit is the birth now. Nears death when held by Instagram and Snapchat. Dies during the process. 9gag and ifunny literally use the dead body of it. The body is ready for cremation when Facebook just rapes it
Not true
Nah, now Reddit just steals from instagram instead and vice versa.
Silly normie kid, Ifunny used to be where memes started
Ledditor SEETHING that iFunny is objectively superior.
I think a commonality that almost all really funny comedians have is that you all are actually very intelligent. You created an 8 minute video talking the history of one of the most iconic things on the internet, and you did it in a funny way which is very hard to do.
I'm just saying that I respect you and your craft, if you ever want to try out a new animation style feel free to contact me :) Although my animations are very different from yours.
Keep it up mate
Yes I too like to shill myself
I agreement the video Was done extremely well quick and concise while being entertainment
correction: he made a 7 minute video and a minute long outro
No pressure
the frog is dead
Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog: 4chan gets really mad about it
I thought PETA was reviled on... Oh wait that's right 4chan died years ago. The rotting corpse is infested with dead memes masquerading as "woke netizens".
I've watched this so many times and I still miss rage comics!
Yeah they died when people didn't understand that the faces ment something and just made shitty comics with rang faces. I miss Y U NO... he didn't have the staying power like the others.
“With so many memes being created and abandoned, where did these memes come from and where do they go?”
*where’d he come from Cotton-eyed Joe?*
emas
Thank you Behind the Meme, very cool!
Behind the Meme has been murdered from the internet by the people from it.
he came back tho
behind you thank the meme, very cool!
@@stop8576 remind me to never be a youtuber....i am too sensitive to the madness of others if i make bad stuff
Memes are the best thing that came out of the Internet. Ever.
there were memes prior to the internet (e.g. kilroy was here)
Pornhub
No, it's the most annoying, overused and unfunny thing in the internet. Ever.
The fact that you can Google any piece of information you desire on the internet isn't the best thing but people making shitty meme pages begging for likes is the best thing? Priorities my guy
@@rougeandrei9095 get out of here
The reason why internet memes die after becoming too popular are because they're created as inside jokes, and it's no longer funny once everyone's inside on the joke.
I dont want memes gone :(
Me too
Some of them make it back, like Little Forgotten Meme
Gotta start printing them all!
Establish physical underground memebrary networks...
scleuse We will find The Way eventually
Had to pause numerous times to read all the memes. Wasn't worth it.
Yes it was.
Well it's very worth it for me at least
Same. It literally took me 30 minutes plus to watch this video lmao
When I saw the video:
Oh I will just watch an 8 minute video about memes
25 minutes later:
I spent 25 minutes watching the video?
Thank you, now I don’t have to go back and watch again, probably.
Bruh I didn’t even know it was possible to explain memes
The writing in your videos is always sharp, witty, quick and dead on!
Memes: If you don't know what they are... you're too old.
Or young
no too old
Brandon Beavis Investing oh, no....
Ageism is discrimination...you duck!
If you're on the internet and don't know what a meme is, you're probably the one reposting them on facebook.
When it reaches facebook/instagram you know that the meme its dead, it like the meme purgatory.
El Spooky nah there are some good memes on instagram
When it reaches influencers it has already become oil.
@@herberthoover9095 The good Instagram memes are just right before dying. Not quite unfunny but it will spread it to the mass audience.
@@herberthoover9095 nah instagram its for normies.
El Spooky saying normie is a normie thing to do
He really missed a pristine opportunity to end with "where do they come from, and where do they go, where do they come from cotton eyed Joe"
Edit: Holy shit guys thanks for all the likes I've never posted a comment to get so many likes
Oh gosh I could literally hear that song as I read this comment 😂
Joe mama
Joe who?
Who's joe
Miner Diner he said that and I thought, if he doesn’t say cotton eyed joe was it even worth it?
At this point memes are a literally integral part of my life, seeing as ever since I’ve been around I have used them on a daily basis. Memes are arguably a better representation of gen Z culture than anything else. Music and art are becoming memes, shows and games are becoming memes. It’s so unique, because gen Z is the first generation to grow up in the meme era. It’s amazing.
6:40 I was really hoping you would say cotton eyed joe then end the video
I was thinking exactly the same thing lol
glad i wasn't the only one
Thank duck
2MEIRL4MEIRL
Same here ahah
"Minecraft Memes" **Shows Fortnite**
"Fortnite Memes" **Shows Minecraft**
I cant help but think there is a deeper message behind the purposed switch..
I've litarally searched 20 min to find somebody regnorizing it
Ah yes, the reason I disliked.
@@ammaren9459 xD
Questionable.
1:15 who paused and read it anyway? - t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m!!!
Why wood u sai that?? thaz soooo random!!!!

So random lol

I got cancer now.
It's funny to realize literally half of the comments are pure memes
''The fine minds over at 4chan who are one push away from falling of their own edge.''
True.
Woah woah woah.. You forgot the "I can haz Cheezburger" Cats. They were a huuuge influence on memes. Those predated the Advice animals by years. They were one of the biggest original memes back in the day when flash video and chain emails were dying off.
And you forgot Demotivational Posters too. That were memeing the stupid inspiration posters we had up in our schools in the early 2000s.
Exactly! I just left a comment about cheezburger & catspeak memes. Big landmark and the first "mainstream" memes there.
not to mention Star Wars Kid. One of the greatest memes of the 2000s
Came to comment this exact thing. They were hugely popular in that large gap between 2000 and 2007 he left. Poor cats and their terrible spelling
Any post 2010 meme is pretty shite eh
Shhh this is only a comment
You left the prosscess of the meme where PewDiePie kills it
If it's reached him, it's already dead
No one can ever replace thatistheplan
He counts as the social media part of the cycle
Does nobody remember Behind the Meme?
PewDiePie is a meme, does that mean he's also a cannibal?
"Lemme just change your genetic code so you can understand this meme"
