I don't really wish things were memes. Memes are fun and all, but if a joke gets repeated too many times, some folks start Hype Backlashing on it, which ruins it for me.

I'll own to referencing the 436 and l'care memes outside of the LG15 fandom, but I'm content to keep them as weird things I say rather than attempt to force them on the rest of the Internet.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

If a thing is liked, it will be repeated. If a thing is not liked, it will not be repeated.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of the things we now consider "memes" in the internet sense were once just random jokes people had amongst themselves, and they kinda took off.

That said, among the Silent Hill fandom, I would be surprised if GIANT FACE is not a meme.

Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit.

Aren't most memes born from lulz?

Well, you don't often see a meme because somebody said something smart.

I read this title as "Things You Wish, Were Memes"... and was all, my wishes become memes on the full moon?

Other than that useless tidbit none of you cared to know I have nothing to contribute here.

Shredded wheat.

Though I think it might be a minor meme already...

"...WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER!!!"

Alternately "A kick o' da sledgehammer, indaface!"

"Those aren't holiday lights..."

Talking trees creating racecourses (that would be a Mario Kart Double Dash reference)

"Tour group! Tour group!" (To be shouted by any group of people at a college talking about awkward/inappropriate stuff in a public area)

Mimi is a troll!

Or all sorts of random "Meanwhile, in X" things ("Meanwhile, in suburban Canada..." "Meanwhile, in an average midwestern American town..." "Meanwhile, on the Mediterranean, I mean, Brighton...") relating to places I've never even been in real life.
