    Some of the memes on this list may seem unfunny or even offensive to others. University of Edinburgh doctoral researcher and Memes Studies Research Network founder Idil Galip describes these as “niche memes,” which are an acquired taste. 

    In an interview with the BBC, Galip recognizes these memes as a strong proponent of building communities online.

    "They're meant usually to create things like in-group belonging, something that kind of strengthens a sense of identity,” Galip said.

    For you who don’t know, the spoon is so that he can see if anyone (probably his mom) walks into his room so that he can quickly change what is on the screen.

    Some of the most relatable memes that go viral often poke fun at the absurdity of life. As Galip noted, it’s a “replication of mundane reality” as an art form. She also pointed out how such an expression was practiced in Hellenic times, where comedy took real-life tragedies lightly.

    “You've got something like tragic theatre that takes things that happen to you that are upsetting and real-life and makes them into comedic things, which is what memes do,” Galip explained.

    It’s one thing for a meme to be relatable and go viral, but another for it to remain relevant. According to sociologist Nicki Lisa Cole, memes must be replicable online and offline to stand the test of time.  

    As Cole pointed out in an article for ThoughtCo., a shareable meme should require minimal skill to reproduce, allowing it to evolve and boost its staying power.

    Cole used the “Be Like Bill” meme as an example that possesses three key “it-factors”: copy-fidelity, fecundity, and longevity. It is a simple stick figure introduced in 2015 to “passive-aggressively call out” annoying social media behaviors. 

    Because of how easy it is to create one through meme generators, it has taken a life of its own and remains relevant today.

    Did that before. Once when I was working a job at a brunch spot popular with the church crowd. Bible verses are NOT an acceptable tip. Most recently a warehouse job that was working me 60+ hours a week. 4pm until 4am. Days off were Saturday and Monday. Did that for six months before I gave them the finger.

    MY college girlfriend claimed to be 5'8" because she didn't think being taller than guys was attractive.. When pressed, she'd admit to 5'10". In a picture of us together, she's wearing flat shoes, and the top of her head came up to my ear. I was about 6'4", so she was easily close to six foot herself. I don't know who she thought she was fooling. Apparently, she's gotten over it, because she married some short guy she absolutely towers over.
