Four of My Favorite Internet Memes & their SubMemes

1. LOLCat and the various Meme Cats that grew out of LOLCats.  At first, I tried to avoid the LOLCats weary of falling under the spell.  I not only succumbed to their strong powers, but I now wear the many Icanhazcheezeburger.com shirts of the day. I also have LOLCat pictures on the inside of my door and on the side of my file cabinet at school.  The LOLCats on the door are a great lure to bring stray kids into my classroom. I have more information about Cat Meme on one of my Cat Linx pages on my Website. Here are some of my favorite LOLCat Meme Cats.

2. RickRoll - RickRoll is to send a person to a video expecting to find something and ending up finding Rick Astley's 1987 video, Never Gonna Give You Up. I must admit, I love the video & am always delighted to be RickRolled. Don't be surprised if you get RickRolled on FaceBook's new Questions feature. They have certain questions set to RickRoll.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. SadKeanu / Keanu is Sad & Lonely Lunch Keanu. SadKeanu hit the Web in June 2010 and spread like a virus. Netizens couldn't get enough of SadKeanu and Photoshoppers couldn't stop making new SadKeanus. The next month Lonely Lunch Keanu made an appearance. SadKeanu is a tumblr site that help feed this Meme mania. Here are some of my favorite SadKeanus.

4. Crasher Squirrel originally popped in as a photo bomber in a photo taken by Melissa Brandts in Baniff. It showed on the WWW via a National Geography "photo of the day." It didn't take long for our crasher squirrel to pop up in photos all over the Web. Here are some of the Crasher Squirrel photobombs that I made for FaceBook Friends.

Video Barbie

Urlesque is one of my favorite silly Internet web site. I have to admit, when they had a contest to give away two of the new Video Barbies, I couldn't resist entering the contest. I pulled up my old Photo Image software and created the images below. The winners can be found on Urlesque. Video Barbie also has her own webpage.

Double Rainbow Barbie

Flash Mob Barbie

Sad Keanu Barbie

The Internet Meme Database is a good place to learn about Memes. My Video Barbie Pics were inspired by the Double Rainbow, Flash Mob and Sad Keanu Memes.

Hovershark

When Hovershark showed up on Buzzfeed, I couldn't resist making my own Sad Keanu sitting on Hovershark. I don't have any fancy Photoshopping software, but I found that an old version of Photo Image given along with one of my early scanners (about 15 years ago) was up to the task.

KNOCK, KNOCK! "Who's There?" "Candygram." ” “Candgram my foot. You're the shark, and you know it.” “Oh NO, it is HoverShark!”
