Top Ten internet Memes that need to die!

As a geek I will admit that I love internet memes. I’m a huge fan of them myself. What I hate though is when people just beat them to death. It’s like re-animating a corpse just to kill it again. Let the dead rest in peace will ya?!

10. Pwnd
Sure this one works when it fits, but I find it is one of the most over used internet memes around. People use it for the tiniest little thing. “Oh you got pastrami when you wanted ham and cheese. Pwnd!” This is used by very insecure people that need any excuse to feel better about their pathetic little lives, but don’t have enough imagination to think of something original.

9. Fail
Seriously? Can you not even offer a full sentence? Everything I said about pwned can be also said about this one. It stinks of unimaginative loser. If all you can say is ‘Fail’ then you are a total failure when it comes to creating insults…you sorry excuse for your daddy’s man seed!

8. I can haz?
Ok, I will admit it. I find LOLcats to be as addictive as crack to a homeless bum, but enough with the “I can Haz…” crap. No you can’t have an original thought. That’s obvious you waste of space!

7. Rick Rolled
I’ve heard of beating a dead horse, but this has reached frightening levels. This horse was dead about a year ago. Can we please move on to something new?

6. Nom Nom Nom
Yeah I chuckled when I first saw the turtle too. But was it funny enough to be used every time someone posts what they are having for lunch on Twitter?

5. Any variation of 2 girls 1 cup
Try as I might, I was never able to watch that video for more than a few seconds. It was train wreck kind of funny for awhile, but there is so much more that can be done with poop jokes. It seems a waste to keep recycling this one.

4.Don’t Tase Me, Bro!
Like most of the items on this list, this was funny for a time. The guy who said it was an idiot. I get it. I’ve just heard it way too many times. I don’t care how funny a joke is. If you tell it enough, it gets as annoying as a Will Ferrel movie marathon.

3. O RLY?
Now you all know that I lean a little to the left, right? I understand why the spotted owl is important. That being said, this owl needs to be killed! I want to eat him on a burger cooked on a wood fire grill dripping with barbecue sauce. There are tons of things you can say without being another douchebag re-hashing this one stupid line. Seriously? Or how about ‘If you think that you ride the short bus’ or even ‘Don’t make me hit you’. All you have to do is think. I know that is asking a lot, but I know you can do it.

2. Chris Crocker references
“Leave ____ alone” has gotten really out of control. If you did a parody on this after the first month or two fine. Chris deserved to be made fun of. The problem is that people just don’t seem to know when the joke is well past it’s due date.

1. Susan Boyle
Come on people! You do know that footage was totally staged and edited to get the planned reaction, right? You were all punked and you continue to be punked. She wasn’t THAT great. If a hot chick had the same voice no one would have even noticed.

Now I want to make it clear that I spelled punked the way I did for a very good reason. This has nothing to do with any show Ashton Kutcher was part of and I have been saying that since the 80’s. So that is my list. Now please feel free to post insults about me below. Just please try to use some tiny amount of imagination.
