When it comes to memes, people have different tastes. But this time, we have something so gourmet on the menu, you'll want to try it whether you're a picky or a sloppy Internet culture consumer. Even if you still occasionally use the troll face. Or have no idea what I'm talking about.

There's a Facebook page called "Memes so literal they aren't even memes". As you might've guessed, it's dedicated to literal memes. Call them puns, performance art, I don't care. The important thing is they're so self-referential, so meta, they might just save the meme world from stalling and becoming a parody of itself.
