==Invincible references==

== Amour Plastique ==

I won't add this to the article, because I don't have evidence on hand to support my claim. However, the difference between a Fad and a Meme is the concept of [[Intertextuality]]. For example, the recent "IT'S OVER 9000" gag is becoming a Meme, because jokes have begun appearing about the price of a PS3 on eBay being over $9000 USD. To assist in controlling what things are classified as Memes, I offer that two, or some set number, of examples be needed of the Meme at use in this capacity of intertextuality. In other words, that a fad has spin off fads in other sources would classify the original as being a Meme.[[User:67.87.189.225|67.87.189.225]] 03:53, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Should we add the meme about Napoleon and Amour Plastique? [[User:Dawsongfg|Dawsongfg]] ([[User talk:Dawsongfg|talk]]) 05:17, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

== Addition Of Blåhaj To The Page ==

I added [http://www.lawforkids.org LawForKids.org] to the list and even included links to the various parodies, but someone removed it. Why? I think it should be mentioned. ''"You are both suspended."'' - [[User:NES Boy|NES Boy]] 12:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I think that Blåhaj (Ikea shark) should be added to the page as it has become a viral meme and LGBT symbol as well as having its own page[[User:Dublinaviationfan|Dublinaviationfan]] ([[User talk:Dublinaviationfan|talk]]) 09:17, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

== A source for most memes ==

== addition of Bad Apple ==

I know Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica have historically hated each other, but this topic is one that ED users are most knowledgeable about, since that is the focus of the website (not as 'hate site' as often claimed). The meme category http://www.encyclopedia dramatica.com/index.php/Category:Memes and more importantly the 4chan memes article http://www.encyclopedia dramatica.com/index.php/4chan_memes are probably the most reliable sources of what is and isn't a meme currently available on the internet. The [http://etherchan.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page etherchan] wiki is another such source of meme related information, but currently has technical difficulties. I know that these website definitely do not pass the wikipedia guidelines for a course, but as this article is about memes, and ED was created to document drama and memes, I strongly believe this should be an exception. As isn't the whole point of Wikipedia many people collaborating by contributing to the topics that they have knowledge about? The average wikipedia user who hasn't lived online in places such as 4chan's /b/ (where this stuff starts) really shouldn't be the ones deciding what is and isn't notable as a meme. --[[User:Einsidler|Einsidler]] 09:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

:ED is not considered a [[WP:RS|reliable source]], for what should be obvious reasons. [[User:Chriscf|Chris]] <small>[[User:Chriscf/The Wiki Factor|cheese]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Chriscf&amp;action=edit&amp;section=new whine]</small> 09:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Bad Apple is a fan animation of the game series Touhou. The animation features all characters, but they are depicted as black and white sillouhettes. The video went viral because of people that began recreating it in different formats for example: Bad Apple on a calculator, Bad Apple on an apple [[Special:Contributions/79.98.72.244|79.98.72.244]] ([[User talk:79.98.72.244|talk]]) 19:40, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:4chan is not the final authority on memes, by any stretch of the imagination. 4chan's /b/ is nto the onlly place memes start, as any denizen of, say, YTMND or Fark will tell you. Being a 4chan in-joke does not raise something to the level of an Internet meme. As one who has fought some 4chan-related vandalism here (repeated vandalism to the Candle Jack entry in [[Freakazoid!]]), I'm suspicious of anyone who claims 4chan is a reliable source. [[User:Jmaynard|Jay Maynard]] 13:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

::oh, and I think I have some insight into what is and isn't a meme... [[User:Jmaynard|Jay Maynard]] 13:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

== Request edit please ==

Does anyone have a problem with the reference to Chuck Norris stating that he's more famously known as Walker Texas ranger, this seems incorrect. Wasn't Chuck Norris a major movie star for fifteen years before the show? I personally can't stand his work but don't feel this is accurate.--[[User:Colin 8|Colin 8]] 08:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

can i make an edit to this page where each subchapter of this page be sorted in chronological order? @[[User:Ultraodan|Ultraodan]] [[Special:Contributions/182.253.250.205|182.253.250.205]] ([[User talk:182.253.250.205|talk]]) 11:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

==Fark.com - List of Farkisms==

There's currently a list in the [[Fark.com]] article with a list of 'farkisms and cliches', which is really nothing more than a list of various internet phenomena (most of which really didn't originate on fark.com anyway, despite what most farkers would probably tell you). I think it would be best to merge that list with this one here, linking to the fark.com article with a 'see also' reference. [[User:Derek.cashman|Dr. Cash]] 18:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:It would probably be more appropriate to prune the list on the Fark article to reduce it to thinks which originated on Fark, with a ''see also'' pointing here. [[User:Chriscf|Chris]] <small>[[User:Chriscf/The Wiki Factor|cheese]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Chriscf&amp;action=edit&amp;section=new whine]</small> 18:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:I '''oppose''' this on the grounds that the Fark article has a certain purpose, which is to list internet phenomena which are widespread on that website. If it is merged with this one, that purpose is lost. Regardless of whether they originated on Fark or not, not ''every'' internet phenomenon is important within the Fark culture (and the reverse is true as well - if a phenomenon is limited to Fark ''only'', would it really be considered important enough to place in ''this'' article?). In the interest of full disclosure: I'm a member of Fark.com (a "liter"). [[User:Esn|Esn]] 09:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

:Since you don't have an account and this page is semi-protected, you can't edit it yourself. You can edit it yourself if you make an account, have at least 4 edits and your account is 30 days old. Alternatively you can make an [[WP:EDITREQ|edit request]] with specifics of the change (i.e. "change X to Y"). [[User:Ultraodan|Ultraodan]] ([[User talk:Ultraodan|talk]]) 11:41, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

== Crazy Asian Mother ==

:We have them sorted in alphabetical order as chronological may be far more difficult to prove out. [[User:Masem|M<span style="font-variant: small-caps">asem</span>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 14:42, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

<blockquote>

Two boys do a skit about how an Asian mother reacts to a B+. '''It's most hilarious line in the skit is''' " we ain't like no white people we don't give timeout. From the far China maybe no timeout, we got something called knockout."

</blockquote>

That's hardly a neutral POV...
