Top Ten Dead Memes

Dead memes ranked by how iconic they were at their peak and how completely they've disappeared from internet culture. "Dat Boi" (a frog on a unicycle), "Harambe," and "Cash Me Outside" dominated the internet for weeks before vanishing entirely.

The lifecycle of a meme has shortened dramatically — what lasted months in 2012 now lasts days. Rage comics, advice animals, and demotivational posters represent an entire era of internet humor that feels ancient despite being only 10-15 years old. "Ugandan Knuckles," "Tide Pods," and "Yanny vs. Laurel" burned bright and died fast. Vote for the memes you'd forgotten existed until reading this list.
