mistermumbles: All of them. Portal, Skyrim, the troll "y u no..." stuff, and so on and so forth. Besides the fact that none of these memes are actually funny. What's worse about it is that a lot of people seem to think they're being clever by using them. No. No, you're not.

Can't express yourself? Use a meme! Ugh!
Pretty much agree. I don't understand the appeal of using them, especially the ones that involve bad grammar like "I can has?" or "Nao" or whatever. I mean does that make the post funny all of a sudden?
Though I must say that there is somewhat of exception to this for me, and that's when somebody posts "“Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" It's not funny because the poster posted it, but whenever I see that sentence it cracks me up because it's so hilariously indecipherable, and somebody honestly thought they were making sense.
I don't really wish death upon any meme, really. Just let people have their fun, and move on.

I don't know if it is considered a meme, but recently I've seen a lot of those "friendzoned" posts. Honestly, people need to grow some balls.

Or do people think "+1" should die too?

They can live as long as they agree with me ;-P
"The cake is a lie" - never understood this.
Yeah yeah, I played Portal, it's a good game, it's a funny game. What I don't understand is how this one line stripped of all context can be funny :P

I have a hate for "you're doing it wrong" too.
Americans applaud at the end of memes.
I think the use of the word "meme" to exclusively discuss stupid/popular stuff on the internet is a "meme" that should die.

The word "meme" has a broader meaning, which is meant to make an analogy of human constructions to genes in order to make sense of how ideas and their resulting technologies evolve. This is explained more fully in Richard Dawkins' book "The Selfish Gene".

Modern usage owes more to Blackmoore than Dawkins even though he did touch on the meme as a unit of culture.
I'm not exactly sure that it's a meme per se, but i always hated the "U mad bro?" BS

Simply because of the number of times I've seen people do that with regard to their own posts.
"All your base are belong to us!" was never funny, unless someone said it in TeamFortress Classic.

Me neither, to be frank. I first thought they are some kind of furry virtual internet mascots.
