Top Ten Dead Memes
Memes are like you. They're born, they live, they die, and they are soon forgotten.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Trollface
Whipped out my trollface whenever I - well - trolled.
This really brings me back! Loved the song as well.
-
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.

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.
-
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.

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.
-
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?
-
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.

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.

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.
-
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."
-
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.

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.

Bert is Evil
One of the oldest known internet memes.
-
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.
-
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!

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

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!
