Best Internet Memes of 2008

Taking the interwebs by storm, memes propagate themselves and can move through the cultural sociosphere in a manner similar to the contagious behavior of a virus.

  1. McCain zombie

    I came across the original posted by Yahoo! news the day after the debate.  It has since been removed but hundreds of disturbing images of McCain licking various objects have been created.

     

     

    Here are some of my favorites:

  2. Don't taze me bro!

    Although this happened in the end of 2007 it is too good to leave out.  I never thought a dude getting shocked could be so funny.

  3. Motivational posters

    Everyone loves the cheesy motivational posters and calendars that hang in offices across the country, these alternates always make me smile.

     

  4. Failblog

    You've made it as an internet meme when my mom knows about you.  We are now inundated by both original pics and re-purposed classics with fail stamped on them.  

  5. Disaster Kid

    An epic photo taken by Dave Roth and submitted to JPG Magazine sparked this fire (pun intended).

    This creepy little girl now has sites like disasterkid.com dedicated to placing her in various comical situations, reminiscent of the WTC tourist guy.  Though some are mildly amusing, the original is by far the best.

  1. I actually never saw the 'Don't Taze me Bro' video until just now... that was some messed up shit... guess we needed to see the whole thing to really feel the whole brunt of why the kid was being removed, but yeah... he got fucked up. And what the hell was McCain doing walking like a Zombie there in the debate?
