Hah, oh boy I'll have fun checking these out later. There aren't many I don't know at this point, doubly so that /b/ was down and there was an influx to /v/ over the last couple days. Good follow-up reading is Encyclopedia Dramatica and TVTropes if you want to get some additional "meta" information about particular content.

I've started a couple infamous TF2 memes but I doubt anyone on this board (except for Mr. A) has actually run in to any of them.

I've watched the majority of that series (I used to watch Rocketboom a few times a month, back before it was well-known and thus Amanda left ... and I think for many of our group the KYM series (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=ROCKETBOOM&view=videos&query=meme) is worth a walk through just to remind ourselves how lame the Internet has already been countless times, so we are no longer surprised by the lameness of the next "cool thing".

Also, some of the memes I had never heard of (even after seeing a certain South Park episode (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_On_Strike#Plot_summary) so you might even learn something...)

PS: way to go, Creepy-chan! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allison_Harvard#Career
