Internet Phenomena
Never heard of it? Let me Google that for you. Srsly, if you clicked that link you're one retarded fuck with down syndrome and diabeetus(NSFW).
Typical newfag doing it wrong.
Yeah, it's the stuff 4Chan and Something Awful are made of. I'll probably be using a lot of references from both sites, just because I can. If you don't speak the language, there's a couple sites you can visit to get to know the world of internet memes and phenomena. The first of the two, Encyclopedia Dramatica(NSFW), is a great reference and has a lot of helpful content, but the way it's written may be confusing to some. The second is a rather new contender (Internet Meme Database) and showcases the world of the internet meme (pronounced meem). Anyways, go through them, laugh a bit, cry, be dissapoint, then become an hero. Finally, after a few months of browsing (or seconds) come back and you'll no longer be a newfag.
Here are ten memes to get you started. Some are new, some are old. This list was picked using a highly complicated algorithm (think WoW /roll):

longcat(NSFW)
