(Copied from the Love Hina forums: ) To lazily quote Wikipedia: The term "meme" (IPA: /miːm/, rhyming with "theme"), coined in 1976[1] by the biologist Richard Dawkins, refers to a "unit of cultural information" which can propagate from one mind to another in a manner analogous to genes (i.e., the units of genetic information). Dawkins gave as examples of memes: tunes, catch-phrases, beliefs, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. A meme, he said, propagates itself as a unit of cultural evolution and diffusion analogous in many ways to the behavior of the gene. Often memes propagate as more-or-less integrated cooperative sets or groups, referred to as memeplexes or meme-complexes. The idea of memes has proved a successful meme in its own right, gaining a degree of penetration into popular culture which relatively few modern scientific theories achieve. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every once and a while... A video will spread across the internet, gaining such massive popularity, that it is practically known by everybody. Even, sometimes, to the point of being parodied in famous shows like Family Guy. =P Usually just a short fad... But sometimes becoming something people remember for a long time. So, here's a list of fun Memes we've collected. This first group is actually all based on things from the English dub of DBZ. (Slade, you should enjoy these... xD) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBtpyeLxVkI - NINE THOUSAAANNND!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbSjKjjObLg&NR - I hope my body can take it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cS18yG8DJI&NR - The balls are inert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnPN2yOup9E&NR - The whole universe is going to die! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd2kFtJHp0s&NR Watashi ga Pizza de wa nai! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cdIx-tWFug&NR LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! *spooge* (Yay for Death Note. xD) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWTlJjQjoXY Not quite a meme...but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehE9WtowrUk&NR The Pylons are Trap Balls!

And since my post to this thread was so awesome... It deserves a second post all together. xD Well... after finally looking through these, and laughing my ass off... It's time for ME to contribute. Now here are some REAL Internet Memes! The Bus Uncle Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSHziqJWYcM Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bus_Uncle Incident in Hong Kong where an old guy gets on a bus, and completely chews out a kid for no reason. =P Starwars Kid Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPPj6viIBmU Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_kid You REALLY dont know Memes if you dont know about the Starwars kid! Worse yet... The guy kinda looks like myself... This is what I would do, had I no common sense whatsoever. Chuck Norris Facts Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8k3uGzgZIs Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris_facts Funny - http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris We ALL know the infamous Chuck Norris jokes. Hell, there was a thread about it on the forums before the crash! Now here's a video of Chuck Norris READING Chuck Norris jokes. Hillarious! All Your Base Are Belong To Us Original Video - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...seAnimated.gif Music Video - http://rmitz.org/AYB3.swf Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_You...e_Belong_To_Us In AD 2101... War was Beginning... Who DOESNT know about this? Greatest game mistranslation EVER! Became an instant classic on the internet, as PhotoShopped images of All Your Base spread the internet like WILDFIRE. FOR GREAT JUSTICE! Numa Numa Dance Original Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60og9gwKh1o Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numa_Numa This is what happens when a really bored guy gets ahold of a Web Cam, and REALLY likes a song. He's singing to the song "Dragosta Din Tei" by O-Zone. Great song... But this guy makes it wonderous. His facial expressions are HILLARIOUS! This has been parodied countless times, much like the Starwars Kid. Crazy Frog Original Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkHm8uUuT0o Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Frog What started off as a stupid animation and sound for a ghey little Cellphone site turned into the biggest fad ever. Strangely enough... It's catchy. In the worst way possible. T__T Dancing Baby Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKpQkDZv-UI Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_baby It started with a video... Set to the song "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede (Yeah... that "Ooga Chaka" song. ) in the early 90'. One of the first huge internet fads I can remember. O_o Little Fatty Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BKxOCPjAnU A poor Chinese High School Student named Qian Zhijun had a picture of himself in Band... Some dude loved his face, and Photoshopped tons of images with his likeness. A thread of this was once posted by Zhang on here... I'll have to see if I can dig it up. =P Hampster Dance Site - http://www.webhamster.com/ Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampster_Dance Who can forget this? One of those, "Happy, send to your friends!" pages that contaminated the internet in the early 90's, along with the Dancing Baby. The song, from Disney's Robin Hood, is annoying, but insanely addictive. O_< The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76CS9z9kQ44 Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimat...timate_Destiny This is the Ultimate Showdooown~! Funniest flash video ever... Of a bunch of superheroes and famous people duking each other to the death. ...the winner? Is a trip. Troubled Windows Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io6fH9wJ7cM Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-tan The video that SHOULD have spawned a real Anime series... Once upon a time, on Futaba (a Japanese Image Board), someone decided to draw a picture of what "Windows ME" would look like if it were human. This spawned the massive trend of OS-tan, the personificaton of Computer Operating Systems. Shii's Song Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irF5fEMixng Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shii-chan Shift JIS (Japanese Ascii) Art has always been unique... One of the most popular, is the Giko Cat sprouted from the depths of 2-Chan. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giko_Cat ) In time, Giko was granted a girlfriend, Shii. This spawned a video depicting Shii's lonelyness and unrequited love of Giko Cat set to the song "Wind's Nocturn" from Lunar Silver Star Story. Very sad... T___T Badger! Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BUHf3tY9JI Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badger_Badger_Badger WTF? The most innane, repetitive, annoying song EVER! But an instant hit. =P Banana Phone Video - http://www.transbuddha.com/osaka/osakaphone.html Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananaphone A real song. Spawned instant parody. O__o YouTube it... you'll see plenty. O RLY? Original Pic - http://www.orlyowl.com/orly.jpg Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDlK6Ngv4Fs Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY%3F O Rly? Ya Rly! No Wai~! It's famous... Originally started by someone on the Something Awful Forums, then spread to 4-Chan, and evolved with many "Orly Owl" pictures from there. Peanut Butter Jelly Time Original Flash - http://home.comcast.net/~etrata/flash/banana.swf Family Guy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=areyUfCNFxY Info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_Butter_Jelly_Time Started with a song from the Buckwheat Boys...
