Any meme aficionado, whether self-confessed or in disguise, will know that there’s virtually not a single thing you couldn’t make a meme out of.
This is because memes are figurative reactions that combine both visual and textual in what we could call an unofficial language of the internet. From Mike Pence’s fly to Bernie’s mittens, from traffic jams to the year 2020, we’re talking literally everything has undergone a meme treatment.
So it’s only fair that memes would make memes out of themselves. Welcome to the world of anti-memes, a type of meta humor that mocks a variety of our all-time favorite internet memes. According to Know Your Meme, "their origin dates back to January 30th, 2009 with the web comic titled "Internet Anti-Memes & Non-Sensations," featuring illustrations of various absurd and unlikely internet phenomena.”
Now the rest is history, and thanks to the subreddit r/AntiMeme dedicated to sharing some of the best meta memes on the internet, we have a solid collection of what happens when memes make fun of themselves.

Look at that, will you? An uncensored bit of profanity, and no one's head exploded. It's almost as if profanity can't be offensive. If you know what it means, how can you be offended? If you don't know what it means, you can't possibly be offended.

My 10yo nephew is a big supporter of that kind of time management and he always forgets that he has to put on shoes, find his helmet, unlock his bike, find his sports bag....evert time. No learning curve.

Some of the puns are such Dad jokes that I enjoy telling them to my son. They're all truly funny, though. More! More!
These have literally nothing to do with "destroying the concept of memes"
