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.

    Who killed Harambe? is a question I ask myself every day.

  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, known as Grumpy Cat, was an American cat and Internet celebrity famous for her "grumpy" facial expression. She rose to fame in 2012 and became a cultural icon featured in merchandise, books, and even a television movie. Grumpy Cat passed away in May 2019, but her image is still widely recognized... read more

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

  7. 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.

  8. 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).

    Elmer: That'll hold him alright.

    Bugs Bunny: (Becomes Big Chungus) "That'll hold him alright." (Turns back) Phooey!

    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.

  9. 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?

  10. Tide Pods

    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.

    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.

    Stupidest challenge ever done.

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Coronavirus

    Back in 2020, you couldn't go anywhere on the internet without seeing stupid memes about "social distancing," "haircuts," "quarantine," "homeschooling," "working from home," or anything related to face masks.

    Not only were the memes stupid, but they were also devoid of creativity and extremely insensitive, especially considering how devastating the lockdowns and other measures were to the economy and mental health.

    The memes didn't age well either. They aged as poorly as First and Second World War propaganda movies or jokes about Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Monica Lewinsky, or Kony 2012. Thankfully, these memes have since been forgotten, a far cry from when they were everywhere on the internet.

  14. The Contenders
  15. 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 remember this like it was yesterday.

    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.

  16. 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."

  17. Somebody Toucha My Spaghet

    I didn't understand this, but I somehow related to it.

    This is the only tolerable meme on this list.

    Used to love this when it was cool.

  18. Damn Daniel

    Damn Daniel is a 2016 viral video that became an internet sensation. The video features Daniel Lara and his friend Joshua Holz, students at Riverside Polytechnic High School in California. It is a compilation of Snapchat clips, in which Joshua repeatedly praises Daniel's fashion choices with the phrase... read more

  19. 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.

  20. Bert is Evil

    One of the oldest known internet memes.

  21. 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.

  22. Overly Attached Girlfriend

    Overly Attached Girlfriend, often abbreviated as OAG, is a fictional character and Internet meme. It originated in a viral YouTube video published on June 6, 2012. The character was created and portrayed by Laina Morris.

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

  23. Bad Luck Brian

    Bad Luck Brian is a well-known internet meme featuring a blond teenage boy's awkward school photo. The meme typically includes captions describing embarrassing or unfortunate events. It went viral in early 2012 after Reddit user Ian Davies posted the image with the caption, "Tries to stealthily fart... read more

    One of the only memes I ever liked.

  24. Caveman SpongeBob

  25. Handsome Squidward - Spongebob Squarepants

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

  26. 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!

  27. Rickroll

  28. Globgogabgalab

    The Glob's popularity might have died, but the Glob will forever be honored. RIP.

    RIP, we will miss you, Globgogabgalab. I'm sorry that your books left you.

  29. Logan Paul
