263) Celebrity Memes

Celebrity memes have become such delicious little nuggets of Internet culture. While the origin is often hard to pin down (4chan, anyone?), and there is no exact formula for viralness, the creativity of the Internet community proliferates a single image or animated gif into infamy with no purpose other than entertainment.

Some gems from the past year or so:

Sad Keanu

Interrupting Kanye

Strutting Leo

James Van Der Beek runs with his own meme. I cannot tell you how much I love meta-analytical/tongue in cheek videos like this. The 10 year anniversary one kills me.
