Old meme is old. Also, how could I forget the almighty Rick Roll?

Yeah, [Know Your Meme](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT--CsBh5TM) has a good analysis of the Rick Roll. 😃

While I never actually use memes (that I notice) I do crack up when they are well used. My favorites lately have been Hitler Downfall (thought I was done with it, but when I saw the grammar nazi one, I was in love again) and the Kenye West one right after the awards was great. I hadn’t even seen the actual footage yet, and I was dying laughing.

I also like [this one](http://www.streetlevel.com/2009/09/14/lil-mama-photoshops-vma-shopped-and-screwed-round-up/), from that same award show, mocking Lil’ Mama crashing Jay Z’s and Alicia Keys’ performance.

“Surprised Kitty” is as much a meme as rickrolling is, isn’t it?

It is it’s just newer that’s all. Give it time and Surprised Kitty may one day rival that of goatse.

For the life of me I can’t remember what this meme is called, but I have seen a bunch on all sorts of subjects, including some really funny ones on Star Trek characters… Anyway [here is one I especially like about the awesomeness of grapes](http://twitpic.com/gfdgx)

Back - found it: [EXTREME ADVERTISING](http://encyclopediadramatica.com/EXTREME_ADVERTISING) and also on [Know Your Meme](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/extreme-advertising)

And a Star Trek example about [LeVar Burton](http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Image:LeVarBurton.jpg)

I like one of the old ones, back when viral internet marketing was just being born, but I can’t recall the name of the site. I wonder if anyone here knows it? It was a guy’s (fake) homepage - and I think he called himself superdan or superdave, he was a DJ comprised of little else than a red sweatsuit and massive fail. Lot’s of nice photos of him and his homies in the barrio.

Not sure if it qualifies as a meme but [Miss Teen South Carolina](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww) will always hold a place in my heart.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but here is picture of a bunny[with a pancake on your head.](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pancake-bunny)  
[My pokemons](http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121405) really captures the obsessiveness that anyone of us can have about a current infatuation.
