Everyone knows the typical life cycle of a meme on GAF. It usually gets its start here imported from another site, most often 4chan or the like; like herpes, it spreads all over GAF from the OT to the gaming side; posters laugh, posters bitch, posters drive the meme into the ground until everyone's fighting over who hated the meme before it was cool to hate it.

But some things are just timeless. What's yours? For me:

ME GUSTA.

Courage Wolf doesn't make me laugh, but it remains awesome.

ultron87 · Sep 19, 2011

Successful Black Man, Philosoraptor and the O'Reilly "You Can't Explain That" are all still capable of making me chuckle.

the original and dumbest internet meme "ate my balls"

Divius · Sep 19, 2011

not a meme, but fuck yeah!

Me Gusta face is funny because that's how I imagine what 90% of the people on the internet look like.

Hah, yeah Courage Wolf is one of my favorites too, because some of them actually work pretty well.

Oh, and this will always be the greatest meme picture of all time. I laugh every time I read it.

Don't get fancy, just get dancey. Why so serious?

What is that one image of Leonardo from the original TMNT cartoon? The one where he has that hilariously pensive look on his face? I can never find that online..

What's that meme face with the huge grin? It has the eyes of the "Forever alone"-guy, but smiles instead.

victreeb3l · Sep 19, 2011

the modern warfare 2 meme was excellent

B!TCH · Sep 19, 2011

Only 'I'm an expert' because that one is only on GAF and it can't just be used all willy nilly for every thread - plus it seems like not everyone is in on that one meaning some people actually take it seriously.

Other than that one, all memes fucking suck. It's fun to be silly on the internet but memes are like telling the same joke over and over and over again. Even if it's funny the first time you see it, it stops being funny the second, third and every other time you see it repeated.

Remember O RLY owl? Man, that one was retarded.

Successful Black Man still gets a good laugh out of me.

CSI Miami has always been my favorite meme. I used to have sunglasses and We Won't Get Fooled Again on my cell phone and cap my shitty one-liners with it.

I think my favourite meme of all time is O RLY. I remember NeoGaf at the time and how quickly it caught on. It stayed funny for a while too and even managed to evolve quite well but it had to end eventually

The guy behind this has a book called The Internet Is A Playground. He also has a website. Some of this other stuff is even funnier than the spider but the spider is the most well-known
