because tough questions deserve tough answers
also you can try to pinpoint when they started but don't cheat.
ex: "cops eat donuts lol" - 1985?-1999?
you can get more specific than that if you want, the point is to somehow take offense at other people's examples.

Yeah, I wasn't saying Hammerzeit was past it, I just couldn't be arsed to post "I Like Where This Thread Is Going".

I think Hammerzeit has a lot of mileage left in it, the key being that it isn't overexposed like some memes.

what about "if i told you i'd have to kill you ;) LOL"

Jeff Nuttall has a go at both the Millennium Dome (a vast, somehow fitting signifier of the artless banality we'd been reduced to by a government that prizes greed above all) and pop-culture memes in that incredible last book of his I keep banging on about. His memes are things like designer labels and Macdonald's arches, though, not internet funneys.

That meme about the lyrics of Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" not being ironic ran out of gas approximately 5 minutes after whoever first said it. Ironically.

-- The blue-green world is drenched with horse gore
Is that ironic? I don't even know any more. Morissettian irony has confused my concept of irony forever. Perhaps we should just redefine the damn word.
It reminds me of the misuse of 'proverbial'.

Well it might be ironic that people who think they're being clever and original by laughing at "Ironic" are actually being tired and lame but god you're right moley I can't tell anymore either.
