Duckroll

The Latest Internet Memes

A meme is a unit of cultural information that propagates from one mind to another as a theoretical unit of cultural evolution and diffusion. Typical internet memes can be images, video, themes, or catchphrases. The context ranges from pranksterism and humor to inadvertent celebrity, urban rumor, and hoax to self-promotion and viral marketing. Fads and sensations grow rapidly on the internet because its instant communication facilitates word of mouth. Commonly known internet memes are dancing babies, Leekspin, All Your Base Are Belong To Us, lolcats, and the Star Wars kid. More memes can be found at The Ultimate Meme Database and the Urban Dictionary. Recent memes include Don't Tase Me Bro', the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and the latest, You Just Got Rickroll'd. Rickrolling took its name from an anonymous message board meme known as duckrolling, a prank in which someone would post a blind link to a post, allegedly relevant to the discussion, that upon viewing would prove to be a non sequitur - specifically, an image of a duck on wheels. Rickrolling involves using a link to one specific video. Last month, Project Chanology performed a live rickrolling of the Church of Scientology at protests in New York, Washington, London, Edinburgh, and Seattle.
