The picture is not necessarily the meme. The format is. That’s where you’re gatekeeping. Posting a random new picture with a caption on top, that’s still a meme format.
A meme is any reusable, repeated format, literally speaking. You’re just gatekeeping.
It’s literally just some text on a picture…?

I actually disagree. The first one obviously has the surprise advantage, but the second was just as good story-wise and expanded the concept gracefully.
And then it was ripped off by the Regular Show
