Memes

Reddit is still the internet. Memes that are “out there” are in here too, perhaps even more so as many originated on the myriad Reddit meme subreddits[1]. In fact, memes and the discussions thereof can be found widely throughout Reddit[2].

Memes are supposed to be used repeatedly. Things like “Woman Yelling at Cat”[3], “Don’t Ever Talk to Me and My Son Again”[4], the astronaut-with-a-gun “Always Has Been”[5] and the cartoon “Me and the Boys”[6] are only funny because of the variety of ways they're used. So, use them. Use them widely and appropriately. There are too many dedicated Meme subs of varying quality to list here, but a good start would be:

r/AdviceAnimals - consisting of two-line jokes over a single-panel reusable character template.
r/PrequelMemes - for memes of the Star Wars Prequels.
r/terriblefacebookmemes - featuring the worst memes ever seen.
r/ComedyCemetery - ...where jokes go to die. Stuff intended to be funny, but... isn't.
r/dankmemes - for sarcastic expressions that have lost their comedic value or intentionally inexplicable clichés. Has a huge karma threshold.
r/SpecialSnowflake - for people hoping to post in dankmemes despite not meeting the 2500 post karma threshold.
r/artmemes - for vaguely humorous captions added to art.
r/HistoryMemes - memes related to history in some way, shape or form.
r/deepfriedmemespart2 - for low resolution images with artefacts and filters galore.
r/MemeRestoration - for images with maximum resolution, minimal filters.

You can always try to start your own meme. Tardar Sauce, a.k.a Grumpy Cat[7] became world famous after first appearing on two glorious posts on Reddit[8], while the sinister-looking Disaster-Girl[9] was even able to pay off her student loans[10] after becoming an Internet meme. Good places to start would be:

r/MemeTemplatesOfficial - to post your templates or request one instead; some NSFW.
r/FreshMemeTemplates - some NSFW.
r/MemeEconomy - for trading new meme templates.

Always read the rules[11] before commenting, posting or using the resources from an unfamiliar Subreddit. Most meme subreddits have a high karma requirement, and some even say in their rules that they will block anyone who asks about it.

*Because there is a Subreddit for everything:**

“Antimemes” lead you to expect a joke but instead you receive deadpan reality in a clever or funny way, and r/antimeme is the place to set up jokes that have no punchline[12], as is r/AntiMemes. And r/meormyson is for those of you who don't want people talking to you or your son ever again.
