Hah. Dude made one that was so unfunny that it became funny again. Amazing.
Ah yes, the Cow Tool Effect:
When a piece of comedy is so unfunny that it becomes an Internet phenomenon or meme as a result.
An Internet phenomenon would be a meme by definition.
The Cow Tool strip predates the Internet, but was possibly a meme regardless. The Internet just helps memes propagate at warp speed.
I apologize for being too lazy to put "(or meme)” in parentheses.
