[Zonker]

I forget when the joke was, a few weeks back. Can anyone clue me in?

It's a meme. Basically the guy from CSI always makes crappy jokes about the murder before it cuts to the opening sequence.

you can find more about it here

 

[Silver Jelly]

oh, crap. Looking for the pictures for my reenactment, I forgot so SAY IT'S A MEME.

I'm so smart!

[Zonker]

Oh.

Sort of hoping it would be a cool new meme I didn't know about, but it's just a lame pop culture reference. Don't know if that really qualifies as a meme. Like cutting yourself isn't a meme, making fun of emos who talk about cutting themselves is a meme. Has to be an internet-based self-referential in-joke to be a meme, or that's what I thought.

 

[SpecialKO]

No just internet-based and memetic.

I'm not sure what the rules for memes are, other than popularity.

 

[Zonker]

Is that like emetic?

Ew.

 

[SpecialKO]

Self-propagating and self-evolving, really.

There are really no rules beyond these, and they're not really rules so much as circumstantial requirements for the definition.
