Dr Phil is unfortunately a real doctor.

But a badly cropped screenshot of a tweet isn't a meme.

Any element of culture that passes from one person to another is a meme.

Internet memes have always been a specific format. Quit with dictionary definition bullshit. You don't get comic strips and Tumblr screenshots when you search for "meme" on Google.

Quit excusing lazy, no effort crap dumped into one community when communities for comics, unedited screenshots and photos, and all of the other junk posts that are dumped here for mindless upvotes instead of spreading content to several communities that need more engagement.

You think the Internet was invented in 2010, don't you.

I'm willing to bet I've been on the internet longer than you've been alive. Piss off.

Literally impossible. Get over yourself.

Internet memes don't have a format. What's the format of "All your base are belong to us"? Or Longcat? Or that crazy frog dance?

Sure they don't... Enjoy your comic strips, buddy.
