[[caption-width-right:350:Meet the cast.]]

KnowYourMeme is an internet series created by the Rocketboom Institute for Internet Studies, in which resident scientists Kenyatta Cheese (aka Yatta), Elspeth Jane (aka Ellie Rountree), and now-retired Jamie Wilkinson (aka Jamie Dubs) tackle on to provide general history of internet memes as well as to try and explain what exactly makes them memetic.

Older episodes were made JustForFun and all the research was done by the KYM staff themselves. But over time, the KnowYourMeme website was created and most of the research is now done there. On the site, anyone can submit a basic meme article (akin to ThatOtherWiki), which, if the subject is deemed notable, is subsequently researched and expanded.

The website is over [[http://www.knowyourmeme.com here.]]

!!Know Your Meme Provides examples of:
* BerserkButton: Never try to force a meme on Know Your Meme.
* TheCameo: Music/WeirdAlYankovic appears in one episode to explain how auto-tune gained memetic status.
* ForcedMeme: As with above, you get these every now and then.
* ForScience: The Numa Numa Dance episode starts with one of the researchers saying this
* [[HotScientist Hot (Internet) Scientist]]: If the comments section of the videos is to be believed, Elspeth Jane fits this trope.
* InternetCounterattack: The site ended up getting embroiled in one when Hot Topic decided to start selling Rage Guy shirts. /b/tards quickly came up with the very politically incorrect "Race Guy" and made a page for it trying to paint Hot Topic themselves as racist. The page has since been cleaned up, though you'll still see Trolls in the comments claiming that "Race Guy isn't a spin off, Rage Guy was racist to begin with, and the people at Hot Topic are sickos for making money off of racism!"
* KangarooCourt: The journey to getting a meme confirmed can go from smooth to very skewed. For example, the [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nope-chuck-testa#.Tq7fDmCt8Vk Nope! Chuck Testa]] page has gotten boatloads of research, over 1,000,000 views, 10,000,000 views for the commercial itself on Youtube, and its own video from the site admins, but went unconfirmed for three months anyway because of its recent release.
* MemeticMutation: The website [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin helps people know their memes.]] That should be quite obvious. (There are lots of other places where people can go to know their memes, but this is one of the few SFW ones.)[[invoked]]
* SelfDemonstratingArticle: Many of the videos about Meme would also demonstrate the meme in question.
* SeriousBusiness: Memes. Especially Internet memes. Because [[ShapedLikeitself Internet is Serious Business]].
* ShownTheirWork: As the result of trope above, Memes are [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome RESEARCHED AND CATEGORIZED]]!
* TheGrandListOfForumAndCommunityLaws: The community-based Know Your Meme RPG (still in development).
