Really? Man I love that meme, reminds me of my wife; she did the same for our kids.

Me neither so I looked into it…they’re really calling anything a meme now, huh? It didn’t become a joke template or anything, a couple of people drew/painted versions of it. The OP is still active on reddit. And just posted a GoFundMe to recreate the photo…

A meme is any idea that spreads and reproduces itself through a population. It has nothing to do with jokes or templates, except that the internet has caused image templates to be propagated and used in the symbolic communication of ideas.

Some image templates are examples of memes. They are not the defining trait of memes, or even the dominant form of them.

But it kind of didn’t?

It had a little bit of popularity back when it was first posted. I definitely remember several meme posts with it. I think it lost popularity because the guy helping his brother with the computer meme took over the same category of memes.

memes are basically anything spread around. doesn’t need to be a joke or even funny really.

You’re confusing memes and image macros

Do you know what a meme actually is? This definitely qualifies.
