What makes good memes? What are facts about meme history you want to share ? (feddit.org)

We want to do a Workshop about memes during a weekend. Like what are memes ? How to do memes? And also a little bit about meme history. We are around for some time and thought we have a good amount of knowledge. But we also realized that memes are very subjective and even though there are some events we both had in our minds (e.g. fuck spez) there a lot that only one of us remembered. So what are your must haves for such a presentation? Or what are your fun facts about memes?

What I like about memes is that it sets the stage with a single picture. You see Willy Wonka resting his head on his hand, and you instantly know the intended tone of the text.

Slap a troll face under a statement and suddenly everybody knows you aren't being serious.

Memes instantly create the context for whatever you're trying to express.
