I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQlpDiXPZHQ&feature=kpWe loved memes about old people back in the day.
All right, here we go, into the wayback machine…
“Hey good lookin’, I’ll be back to pick you up later!”
I appreciate the offer but KISS MY GRITS!
If it hadn’t already been mentioned in this thread, I would say: “Up your nose with a rubber hose.” But since that’s already been said…
Mickey Mouse flipping the bird. I saw a lot of this around the time that Iran was holding the American hostages. It usually had the words “HEY, IRAN!” right beneath it.
Makes me think of some sort of game about that time with the catchphrase “Poke a hole-a in the Ayatollah” but I forget whether it was darts or something more sinister.
I had the privilege of traveling the US by car/trailer in 1972 when I was but a lad. All over the country in men’s rooms everywhere could be found various graffiti written on the walls of the bathroom stalls the usual stuff, but also this gem of wisdom: “Don’t switch Dicks in the middle of a screw, vote for Nixon in '72”.

Speaking of flipping the bird, when I was a teenager there was a popular character on Tee shirts and posters who would almost always be flipping the bird. He was green and furry and looked kind of like if the Grinch was just a head with legs and arms. Don’t know if it had a name but there was a window where it was everywhere.
Given that a “meme” in its original construction means a unit of cultural transmission analogous to the gene then pretty much anything can be a meme, not just pictures of cats with captions, catch phrases from TV shows, or graffiti. The idea of a meme is a pretty good meme.
John 3:16 was a popular one.
“If you love something,
set it free. If it comes back to you, it’s yours. If it never returns, it wasn’t yours to begin with.”
Also:
“Ass, gas or grass. No one rides for free.”
Charles Mackey had a chapteron this sort of thing back in 1852.
What a shocking bad hat!
Senegoid. You beat me to that one.
Mad Magazine generated quite a few? “Potrzebie”. “What, Me Worry?”
“If you see this van a’rockin’, don’t come a’knockin’!”
(Bumper sticker on those tricked out vans.)
Ahem… the proper term is “Punch Buggies”, which an optional suffix clause “No Punch-Backs!” 
Yowzah! Check out the top poem(?) at http://www.wanderingherpetologist.com/mad-axolotl-poem/
Would “jumping the shark” qualify?
