Come on guys! You mean NO ONE has done a Casper van Dien meme yet??

There's the classic:



And I saw way too much of Casper van Dien on the way to finding that image.

I don't know why ignorant elitists think they can make up their own rules about how to make a popular saying or image to be passed around the internet... If one is attempting to make a meme then it is entirely up to them what picture and caption that person thinks works with the desired outcome. Whether or not elitists think it breaks a "meme rule" (which is completely rediculous and has real affect on the causality of a meme) it is up to the internet patrons to spread it around. Whether or not it breaks these "rules" has no bearing on how it will be recieved except by elitists who think they can control a meme.

I mean who exactly is gonna enforce any such rule on meme creation? and how? Some hacker pro is gonna make sure every image / caption that breaks these rules is removed from the internet, and prevent people from enjoying or spreading it. Or would such people just make pointless posts saying "You're doing it wrong!" "that's not a meme" while others enjoy the image and spread it around thus actually causing it to be a real meme not just what some in an elitists circle consider one of their "approved memes" which aren't actually memes at all since they don't have any popularity or circulation.

Incorrectly using an established meme is similar to misspelling a word. You can do it all you want but in the end it is you that comes out looking ignorant.

My first Meme, too bad the website shrank the picture, so the quality is not too good.



Made a minor correction.

Moar for the meme gods!

Here's the thing: you're not making a new meme. You're making your own version of an already existing meme, thus you have to use it how it is supposed to be used. If you want to use your own picture(that isn't already an established meme" and add a caption to it, go right ahead, but if you're going to use an already popular meme, yes, you do have to follow the "rules" of that meme.

I'm not saying that your logic doesn't make sense, but just because something breaks the traditional usage of an intended meme (which in this case i'm not sure is a true meme "Good Guy Greg" but rather an "intended meme") does not inherently prevent a "misused" image from becoming a meme. As the true definition of a meme is found in its popularity, usage, and transmission around the web. The images found at these meme center sites aren't all true memes but more like an homage to memes. just like the meme images found within this thread.

The obvious response is that Good Guy Greg has popularity, wide usage and has deep penetration across the web. Scumbag Greg, not so much.

But I'm not going to say that. Instead I'm going to criticize the lack of meme in your post.

Boo! Hiss!

wide usage and has deep penetration across the web.
