A meme in terms of the Internet is an "inside joke" that becomes popular amongst people who use the Internet more frequently than the average person. It's hard to explain to a non-Internet person why a photo of a cat in an awkward pose with a caption in broken English is funny but it just is, it's like explaining the color red to a deaf person. And for whatever reason, these funny pictures or websites get emailed or posted on blogs, message boards, or social networking sites to the point your brain becomes over-saturated with them in a matter of days and then your Mom emails it to you six weeks later.
Why am I writing this list solo compared to my last two amazing Top 10 lists? Because I've (sadly) been on the Internet since 1995 (sadder) and understand what makes the Internet tick (saddest). This is a very personal list as I've spent hours combing the darkest corners of the Internet and my mind trying to remember what was funny this decade instead of my typical afternoon of combing the darkest corners of cabinets to find a jar of peanut butter I misplaced.
Unlike most of the things on this list, this is not a funny meme. Or entertaining. Or good. But it sums up a certain quality a lot of these cultural touchstones have, they are hypnotic. While you are watching and listening to quite possibly the dumbest, most asinine song/lyrics/animation you will ever consume, you become transfixed and somehow will watch it again and again even though at no point during the session will you become engaged with the video in an entertaining way. Also, badgers are underrated as they are not only a cute animal but also have a cute name.

How is this funny? I don't really know. There are two variations, the first and more hardcore version I've had it happen to me and the website locked up my computer and I had to shut it down and that's not fun wasting five minutes of my life waiting for my computer to reboot, I could've been reading a classic I Got Matsui post. But when I see the Rick Roll Lite version (the link doesn't crash your computer, it just directs you to the youtube video), I can appreciate the attempt and then read the comments section where everyone gets so pissy and racist in the comments section (well, every youtube comment section turns pissy and racist at some point). One weird thing I don't get about the Internet, how does it know which song or random actor to select to parody? It so often hits the mark it's scary.

Fact: There is no "ctrl" button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control. I never liked Chuck Norris and I'm not sure why he was picked as the defacto "tough guy" for which amateur joke writers (ME) wrote outlandish things as facts. But one thing the Internet loves is hyperbole, the Internet would literally DIE without hyperbole and this website has it in spades (and if anyone wants to explain to me why "has it in spades" means "a ton", please let me know). Essentially, you take a popular phrase and then say Chuck Norris can do it exponentially better than anyone has before and you've become a bonified Chuck Norris Fact writer. Congratulations.

2005 saw the explosion of the O RLY (see #5) owls. From that began the Internet phenomenon of simply adding mildly funny text to mildly funny pictures creating (sometimes) hilarious outcomes. Math. I combined these two memes because they are both in the same vein, taking a popular hip-hop song or hip-hop TV show and twisting the meaning around into something less serious and more comical.
# 6 2 Girls 1 Cup 2007 (Yeah, I'm not linking the original. Sorry)
Genius on about seven levels. First, the fact anyone could conceive of such a video and put it on the Internet is just soooooooooo like the Internet, he's a rascal. The title is so simple, so cute sounding and then it is the worst thing two girls could do with one cup and it creates such a great dichotomy (I'm using that word wrong). The fact it got spread around (pun intended) so fast speaks to the Internets ability to quickly recognize The Awesome and forward it along. Lastly, the Internet geniuses stepped it up a notch and filmed people reacting to the video for absolutely hilarious and real reactions. I'm sure there's some meta-commentary on me watching random people on the Internet watching random people on the Internet poop on each other but I dare not go to such territory.

I first saw this on my message board and thought, "that's dumb" but by the third or fourth time I liked it and by the 50th time, I was in love. So goes most Internet memes, they wear you down like AIDS. The genius of the owl is that his facial expression really exudes a super happy and mocking "Oh, really? I had not thought of that thought" look and that really captures what the Internet is about, making others look dumb. The O RLY owl, like mentioned above, created an entire genre (probably not true) of putting captions on macro pictures.
Odd choice? **** YOU I'M NORMAL. But this is a landmark meme/video for a few reasons. 1. It brought youtube to the forefront of the Internet. I don't remember how videos were hosted prior to 2005 but I'm sure it wasn't nearly as easy and fluid as youtube makes it 2. It brought some relevancy back to SNL. Live comedy is hard, a second too soon or too late with a punchline might ruin a joke but someone finally got the smart idea of instead of always doing fake commercials, maybe SNL should try something original as a taped bit and guess what, it worked. 3. It raised the bar for Internet videos. Prior, lots of it was funny accidents or random **** your average America's Funniest Home Videos producer would not allow but then it showed if you add just a smidge of production value with a great concept (and keep it under three minutes) and you can have your own Internet sensation.

If a meme creates not only a website, but a formula so you can create your own version of the meme, then that's some serious memeing. This falls between badgerbadgerbadger and O RLY owls, it's hypnotic but may elicit a laugh. It's ranked on the high side because right around the 98 to 01 period is when a few memes (dancing baby, Metallica napster video, Hampster Dance) laid the groundwork for what future Internet memes would entail: obscure pop culture reference, use of either cutting edge technology or ironically old 3D ASCIIC text, repetition, and overt racism (well, not here, but those Badgers have some bad ideas).

This list is not heavy on video memes. People love to jack it to the Numa Numa guy, those Asians singing or the person with the t-shirts but none of those videos are interesting or original or even well made. If you're trying to be funny, try to actually be funny or at least fail miserably enough for us to laugh, those videos accomplish neither IMO. But this, this is genius. First, it's not user created content by talentless hacks, it's an actual newscast that presents one of those light "human interest" stories to the audience but who knew news producers in Alabama were subtle comic geniuses. First, the obvious joy everyone exudes from the commotion ranges from giddy to "Being interviewed right now might actually get me laid" is infectious. I honestly can't tell if the people being interviewed are in on the joke or really do believe in Leprechauns. The fact the producers allowed the amateur sketch to air proves the dedication to the bit, never once does the reporter mock or denigrate the picture or anyone in the story. Last, the guy who hunts leprechauns really thought, "This is my chance," and developed this whole persona for fifteen seconds of screen time. Just all around great execution and the in-studio talent does a fantastic job wrapping up Act III of the play.

Cats are cute and get into all types of predicaments. People are not so cute so they take pictures of the cats in all sorts of predicaments. Then someone decided to put some faux-baby talk broken English onto pics of the cats and voila, an Internet meme is born. How funny are these things? Pretty funny, to the point it's been over two years and I still chuckle, which goes to show I'm devolving at a much more rapid pace than I predicted. There's a certain innocence and lack of typical Internet snark to these pictures that makes me enjoy them more so than all the other memes. I find a lot of Internet humor to be rooted in pain and making fun of others (ie: this blog 99% of the time) so this is refreshingly cute and unique. Of course, I'm a grown ass man laughing at pictures of kittens with baby talk written below them but I don't feel you need to look into that in any way.
There's 2000 pounds of forced, lame, unfunny memes out there but I decided to attack a big dog off-shoot O RLY, Epic Fail. Why is this a bad trend? It takes two things the Internet loves, hyperbole and someone ****ing up, and smushes them together. It's just too "on the nose" for my tastes. The Internet can and should do better.

Wearing MBT shoes provides many pro-body benefits: this is the result of an increasing number of international studies supporting the numerous health benefits of the "anti-shoe ".
MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. The company that makes MBT shoes (also known as the anti-shoe) is Swiss Masai. The uniquely-designed, multi-layered, cured sole is designed to simulate walking in sand (similar to the natural walking environment of the Masai in Kenya). This creates a natural, uneven walking surface and forces the body to use all the major and stabilsing muscle groups, thus training the whole body to move correctly.
