Suffering from a drought of fresh memes, me_irl forces the Bear in the Big Blue House memes
-
r/me_irl is a subbreddit on the popular website, Reddit, that is the primary source for all of the U.S.'s memes. Usually there is a single meme of the month, but the Meme War of October spawned a Renaissance that put forth a new meme almost everyday
-
Skeletor memes return to combat the Bear in the Big Blue House memes
-
Only two days after the re-release of Skeletor memes does a new meme arise. This one revolves around bionicles.
-
Bionicle memes last less than a day before a new meme takes over, this one focusing on the hit video game from 2005.
-
Coma memes began to appear after the death of two other memes occurred within a few days. Since memes usually last around a month if they're good, this was surprising and this fact actually spawned a new meme that would endure all of October
-
Things seemingly slow down for a day as Battlefront Memes wipe out the Bionicle memes. However, this peace is short lived as a dead meme is brought back
-
Dat Boi memes last only hours before a new meme arises. Ken Bone, a regular man at the presidential debate, has become a hot new meme for no real reason. He becomes an internet sensation
-
Ken Bone lasts for a solid 3 days before the introduction of a new sensation; a siege engine capable of launching a 90kg stone over 300m
-
Wallace and Gromit make their debut onto the meme scene, taking over for a short period before being sent back to the sidelines
-
Suddenly "meta" memes (memes that are self aware) begin taking over. This is ultimately short lived however
-
Robbie Rotten, the antagonist from the kids' show Lazy Town, suddenly makes an appearance. This new meme is quickly pushed aside as the actor for Robbie Rotten reveals he has a terminal illness
-
After the Robbie Rotten meme's death, people were desperate for new memes. So came the advent of saying "me too thanks" or some combination of words that sound similar
-
After "me too thanks" came the fall of the October Meme Renaissance. Posters started saying "Screencap this and post it to me_irl, they'll upvote anything", which was actually true. So for the rest of October we saw "They'll upvote" anything memes all across the board, dominating the spectrum
-
As October came to end, me_irl became more stable and began producing a steady flow of memes once again, occasionally pulling some of the memes spawned in October. The meme renaissance had come to an end just as abruptly as it had started
