Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Thanks for your help everyone :-) . Hmm, yeah I guess it sounds a bit silly to write about memes, but I find them quite fascinating, actually. The fact that people are creative and work together in order to make a meme survive and spread is really interesting. I'm doing the thesis as a part of class called "social media" and I'm studying Media Science, where my main focus is on internet communication, so I think this fits well with the other research that I've done so far.

Because of sites like knowyourmeme.com? Yeah, maybe the awareness of the existence of memes will kill them, eventually...

I think some memes can be funny - I guess it depends on your sense of humor then... Maybe it's because I'm a girl, and memes are mostly a guy-thing...

Hi people! I'm doing a thesis about internet memes at the university. I've been researching memes for about a month, and I still haven't figured out what makes a meme good/ funny/ fantastic or what makes people create new ones.
I visited 4chan, which was a pretty disturbing experience, and I just don't get it.
I can see why some memes can be considered funny or even addictive (I'm gonna let u finish, Kittens inspired by kittens, etc), but what's the deal with memes like Advice dog, "I did it for the lulz", I'm behind 7 proxies, ceiling-cat etc?
Maybe I'm just not geeky enough...

Putin is serious business

It's funny because it's true

So true
