Top Ten Dead Memes

Memes are like you. They're born, they live, they die, and they are soon forgotten.
The Top Ten
1 Doge

Doge is not a meme. Doge is god. I am a missionary from the Holy Doge Church, where we believe that everything revolves around the concept of dogeism and the god of doge.

Ask yourself... why do we have gravity? Why are we living here? What is the meaning of life? If you would like those questions to be answered... join the Holy Doge Church. Holy Doge Church, spreading the religion of Dogeism... one bark at a time.

Doge may be dead on the outside, but it will never die in my heart.

He is dead, but not in our hearts. We are all doge.

2 Uganda Knuckles

I like this dead meme because it is funny, and they made it really cool even with Uganda Knuckles.

It's dead outside. But it still lives in my heart. Pay respect to Uganda Knuckles.

It was good until February when it died out.

3 Harambe

As someone from Cincinnati, I did not like this one.

Harambe isn't dead. Legends never die.

4 Trollface

Whipped out my trollface whenever I - well - trolled.

This really brings me back! Loved the song as well.

5 MLG

I was really on the fence between this, Uganda Knuckles, and Harambe, but I chose this. At least those memes died in less than a year when people realized they were never actually funny. This one has been going for years and is so overused that it's actually really annoying.

MLG was more of a collection of memes that on their own were actually kind of funny. Later on, when they added those dumb effects and whatnot, was when the trend died out.

What? I miss this meme so much! I remember during my very first year of school, someone suggested that we buy "MLG" food. Sigh. Good times, good times.

6 Grumpy Cat Tardar Sauce, was a cat and Internet celebrity known for her "grumpy" facial expression, and thus known by the common name Grumpy Cat.

I love Grumpy Cat. I wish it hadn't died.

7 Big Chungus

Origin Name: Big Chungus

Power/Skill: Wabbit Twouble

Ability: Limits 420 percent plus 8008135 per inch (Cooldown: 32 seconds. This hero has a 100 percent chance to grow a belly big ching chungus for 37 seconds. When A Wild Hare is in play, Big Chungus enjoys 64 percent plus 5318008 of his power, grants an overweight giant earth destroyer, god killing rabbit, and immune to everything).

Big Chungus won in the 2018 "Logan Paul vs KSI" fight. You may not have seen him, but I know the truth behind this mastermind.

This meme is so dead, they tried to revive it by combining it with Ugandan Knuckles. It obviously failed.

8 Nyan Cat

I loved Nyan Cat a lot when I was younger. It will live on forever in my heart!

May Nyan Cat rest in peace, until it is ever reborn.

9 Tide Pods

This meme was so dangerous! Like, there are some chemicals that might kill you! Seriously.

YouTube banned it for inspiring others to do it. Like, people need to use their brains.

This meme deserved to die. It was literally the idea of people trying to kill themselves. This challenge was extremely dangerous.

I wonder why it was even a thing to eat Tide Pods. This is why I'm not following trends all the time. It's stupid and senseless.

Stupidest challenge ever done.

10 Dabbing

Why did dabbing last so long? How did it last so long? Everywhere I go, I see little kids dabbing. I don't understand it. Why is it still clinging on to life? Young children are keeping it alive. WHY?

Even though it is more of a dance move, why use it as an Internet meme? That makes me cringe. So please, it's stale, repetitive, and comes out of nowhere, even from any hip hop community.

Dabbing is something that lasted for about three to four years. Wasn't the person who started the dance a football player?

The Contenders
11 We are Number One - Robbie Rotten

This was my childhood, and when I heard he died, my heart was absolutely shattered. This helped ease the pain.

I miss those times when this was shown as an episode on LazyTown. I mean, it was shown as a song now, almost everyone forgot about it.

This was obviously a dead meme because of how Robbie's actor died.

12 Somebody Toucha My Spaghet

This is the only tolerable meme on this list.

Used to love this when it was cool.

13 Damn Daniel Damn Daniel is a 2016 viral video. Daniel Lara and his friend, Joshua Holz, who are students at Riverside Polytechnic High School, reached their Internet fame after their video, an edited collection of Snapchat videos, went viral on social media platforms such as YouTube and facebook.
14 Bert is Evil

One of the oldest known internet memes.

15 Burger King Foot Lettuce

Who else memorized this? "Number 15. Burger King Foot Lettuce. The last thing you'd want in your Burger King burger is someone's foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get."

16 Yodeling kid

My sister used to love it and played it all the time. It drove me and the rest of my family absolutely insane. Glad she got out of that dark phase in her life.

17 Dat Boi

One of the worst. I don't get it in the slightest. It's just a CG frog riding a unicycle with captions "here comes that boi" and then curses. And I curse with a burning passion, repeated 12 quadrillion times. How did this meme become so popular?

It's not funny at all, makes no sense, and worst of all, it promotes cursing. I am glad this meme is dead, and I hope it stays in the grave for a long, long time (hopefully forever).

He came, he saw, he conquered, and after all that, his life was finally complete.

18 Overly Attached Girlfriend Overly Attached Girlfriend, often abbreviated to OAG, is a fictional character and an Internet meme originating in a viral YouTube video published on June 6, 2012. The character was created by Laina Morris.

To the person who said "Just Monika," you're dead to me!

19 Bad Luck Brian Bad Luck Brian is a popular internet meme consisting of a blonde teenage boy's Yearbook Picture accompanied by captions with embarrassing or tragic occurrences. It became popular in early 2012 when Reddit User Ian Davies posted this photo captioned "Tries to stealthily fart in class/sh*ts." The post... read more

One of the only memes I ever liked.

20 Handsome Squidward - Spongebob Squarepants

I bet I am more handsome than Handsome Squidward. I bet you forty-nine bucks.

21 Rickroll
22 Deez Nuts

I swear to God I am done with this so-called meme. It was funny for one year. Now it's just an excuse for knowing memes.

I am done with this meme. Now it's an excuse to be complimented for knowing memes.

My brother and I used to always use this dead meme, but now it's a piece of trash!

24 Harlem Shake - Ba'auer

Thank God this meme is dead. Everyone participated while it was cool, and then suddenly, boom! No one liked it anymore. The song is just annoying garbage.
