I was going to remark that these strips are like the tabloid newspapers of the comic strip world (in other words, trash), but then I realized that tabloids have at least some comedic value.

So I have decided to go with a more accurate analogy. They are like the daytime television home shopping ads of the comic strip world; humdrum, trite, weak, talentless and tasteless, tacky crap.

Yet they serve a purpose and there's a reason why they are so popular. Anyone can make them using standard templates. Which means every now and then there are very funny ones.
 
We should just get James to change the title of this thread to "9gag of the day." :|

My vote goes down for "Just share some crappy pics you find", subtitled "Don't have any friends to share pictures with? Neither do we."

But I'm probably reflecting too much.
 
Whats with all those "things" with the idiotic faces suddenly? I think they're rubbish.
 
Fixed it for you!

No, it was right the first time. Those templates & their popularity means you no longer need any real skill to create them and express an idea. Its just the latest in an ever evolving series of cultural memes, not an internet meme;

A meme is "an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."

The term Internet meme is used to describe a concept that spreads via the Internet. The term is a reference to the concept of memes, although the latter concept refers to a much broader category of cultural information. The earliest known usage of the word meme is in the book The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins published in 1976.

The internet allows meme to spread much further and father than before. Evolution.
